The kids are back to school and you know what that means? You need a night out! Still finalizing our program, but the forecast is looking like medicine with a sprinkling of rollercoaster law.

Doors open at 6:30pm, show starts at 7pm. Potentially on the patio pending weather. Be there AND be square!
