It’s Adults Only at the Thinkery This Thursday Night

We would never say that youth is, as some have suggested, wasted on the young. But we might complain, just short of whining about it, “Why does that awesome Thinkery place always have to be about the kids?

Review: A Gentleman's Guide to Love & Murder

Onstage at the Brutalist-design Bass Concert Hall sits a Victorian theatre, complete with antique lighting sconces and a sumptuous red velvet curtain. It’s a proscenium within a proscenium and the perfect setting for A Gentleman’s Guide to Love & Murder, which asks us to look at both its interior and exterior as we laugh our bloody fool heads off.
