ABOUT THE GREATEST PORNO, EVER!!
The Greatest Porno, EVER!! follows ordinary people whose lives are irrevocably altered upon the arrival of an underground tape that portrays the act of carnal gymnastics in a manner so disgusting it's oddly arousing...and in some cases, deadly. Bachelorette parties and adult film aficionados alike won't want to miss the sexiest, yet sickest show in town.... Tuesdays at 8pm, February 02 – 23, 2010 (tickets are $10).
ABOUT TGIF RAW
This February, sitcoms from the early 1990s are getting RAW in the hands of “serious and dramatic” actors. Heralded as “deeper than Shakespeare” and “way more serious than ‘August: Osage County’”, this workshop production will make you “Thank God It’s Funny”. Drawing from the wealth of human experience, this dangerous troupe of actors portray characters such as Steve Urkel, Balki Bartokomous, and ‘lil Michelle Tanner with the depth and rawness they deserve. [Warning: This dark improvised comedy contains harsh language and inappropriate material.] Directed by Lauren Maul. Saturdays at 11:30pm, February 6 – 27, 2010 (tickets are $12).
