WORLD PREMIERE
SIMON AND FRIENDS 2: MUSIC BOOGALOO
A year has passed since the award-nominated Simon and Friends banded together to achieve world peace and tell, arguably, some jokes. But they aren't done, dang it! Having come so close to winning Best Debut Show, Simon is haunted by the allure of fame. It's time to up his game. It's time for a musical! Stave off your ennui with an evening of songs, misguided sketches, and what some may call dance. The planet may be in harmony, but they won't be. SKETCH, MUSICAL DATES:
