Why Did Esther's Follies' Ray Anderson Go to L.A.?

Fact: You don’t have to walk through a mirror to get to the storied Magic Castle in Los Angeles. But if you did have to do that, to walk right through a full-length looking glass to attend the 50th annual Academy of Magical Arts awards presented by L.A.’s historic lodge of legerdemain, then Ray Anderson would still have no problem at all.

Why Is the Dionysium at Hyde Park Theatre this Wednesday?

Moontower 2018 Reviews: A Comic a Day
