A FREE night of madness that feels like an art party.
A low-to-no tech celebration that happens once a year.
///UH…WHAT IS IT??///
This evening of performance is a chance for creators to show all the splattery half-ideas that they might feel foolish about exposing to the light of day.
///WHAT? YES! WHAT NOW?///
Want to throw yourself wildly into the middle of a show like this and as the audience, experience it in its “oh my god…they really took a swing at that…awesome” glory?
