When “nobody understands a word this guy is saying” and the performance is in Italian, we consider it the highest of culture. Weird, huh?

Theatre Review: 'Bleeding Hearts' will take you on a wild, funny ride Experience the world premiere of Steve Yockey's satirical play 'Bleeding Hearts' at Theatrical Outfit. A hilarious and bloody ride awaits.

Thanks to Theatrical Outfit for welcoming us home.

Whoever said Stranger Things is 17 people explaining the plot to each other was 100% correct.

Trump slashes mental health agency as shutdown drags on Sources tell NPR that more than 100 employees have been laid off at the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Agency. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had some cuts reversed late Saturday.

I’ve never been a part of an all sober reading (all cast members and creatives) before - so of course it took a queer horror recovery story set in a theatre to get me there. But, I can’t wait to dive in at the end of the month. October 22nd - JOIN US!

Correlation does not imply causation unless you think it gets you more clicks.
