If you don’t have your ticket yet, there are still a few available! Want to enjoy the show in style? Buy a Supporter ticket and settle into an over-sized cushy leather chair. Ahhh…just imagining it feels good. Tickets are a mere click away.

As a reminder, doors open at 6:00 pm for a fun, mind-expanding contest, a cash bar and socializing. Talks start at 6:45 pm.

We’ll see you there!
