Shut Up and Dance with Me
A chance encounter or something more? The creative who helped bring puppets to life in Avenue Q has a new profusion of dance, music, and rhythmic pantomime that will leave you feeling all the feels.

Donations to the theater or featured artist are greatly appreciated, particularly as this pandemic may have a serious impact on the financial health of arts organizations and theater professionals over the coming months, but mostly, we just hope these bring you a smile, a laugh, or help you shed a few cathartic tears.
