  • Laundry & Bourbon with Lonestar

    Laundry and Bourbon with Lonestar, two companion one act plays set in backyards of a small Texas town. Three ladies come together to talk about their life's ups and downs. Lonestar follows the life of three small town boys and the events that have shaped them. Both shows give us highs & lows with humor spread around, for good measure.

    The Aquadolls [inside]

    Last seen thrashing out at ACL Fest 2022, L.A.’s Aquadolls return with a sound they dub “mermaid rock and roll” – a signature mesh of punk angst, surf harmonies, and garage-rock distortion – on a headlining tour ahead of their upcoming album Charmed. The trio’s unapologetically riotous energy erupts through pre-release anthem “Burn Baby Burn,” as lead singer Melissa Brooks insists: “Your lesson must be learned or I’m gonna make you burn.”
