Book of Mormon
Mormons have always received attention because of how they portray religion. This hilarious musical is about two Mormon missionaries who went to Uganda to spread the word about their church. Although the musical doesn’t mock the Mormon faith, scenes such as Africa being infested with AIDS bring up interesting questions. The musical is from Trey Parker and Matt Stone, creators of South Park. This is a must see!

Project: Lohan
In its opening day weekend, join playwright, D’Arcy Drollinger as he/she (note: he’s a transvestite) plays Lindsay Lohan using only lines and images from tabloids about the actress. Drollinger does a superb job playing Lohan as he/she takes us through the trip of her days as a Disney star to quite possibly being a washed up actress at the tender age of 24. D’Arcy is such an amazing performer that he makes you feel like you’re actually watching Lohan on stage. Join Project: Lohan this weekend on their opening weekend!
