Case in point: our next show is one week away and we are just now updating the website.  Procrastination is a fine art – put it off as long as possible but not so long that no one knows just when the next show is.

We recommend not procrastinating too long in deciding to attend the next performance or you will miss out on all the fun not to mention the snacks!
