Hello Darlings! 🌈 Happy Gay Christmas! Halloween is finally here, and we hope you’ve been making some questionable costume decisions. Here’s what’s happening around town.

Nobody makes family dysfunction, social awkwardness, and the general absurdity of being human quite as funny as David Sedaris. Win tickets to see him at Kings Theatre on Friday, 11/20, for an evening of sharp wit, hilarious storytelling, and a post-show book signing.
