We have limited tickets available. The box office does open at 6:30 PM at the Warehouse for a 7:30 PM curtain. It is the best $5 that you could spend on live entertainment. You will enjoy the performances of Ivan Morales, La Lo Espinoza, Tania Louis, Ginnie Highsmith and Davis Couch. You will marvel at the antics of Taylor Hall as "Action" and of the choreography led by Charleston Troutman and Stacy Young. This is a must see of all seasons.
