The guest will be asked to tell a few stories from his or her life and the cast will use the stories as a jumping off point for improvised scenes. Musical guests would tell the story behind a song and then play it. 		The Go Comedy! All-Star Showdown8pm and 10pm Friday/Saturday $15

Timeless: The Dancical
Timeless: The Dancical is an original piece by Lauren Bickers. It tells the tale of love, lust and loss in a small restaurant around the holidays. It’s sort of like a musical, but instead of singing, they dance to hits from the ‘80’s. It’s as hard to describe as it is to forget. Not to be missed.
