BUT OUR FRIENDS ARE STILL TRUCKIN’. Here are some things coming up that you should go see. Also, the two months off gives you plenty of time to write a story or four and send them along for our return in May. You can do it online right here!

Stark Naked has God of Carnage going on right now!!

Catastrophic has Waiting for Godot coming up.

And Mildred’s has Ravenscroft coming up.

Our stand-up friends always have Monday night at Rudz going on. And Tuesday nights at The Fairview!

And our improv friends at Station Theater always always have things going on.

And here’s a picture of a bunny wearing a tutu.
