I suppose a few gloomy days after our unexpected spring heat wave is okay if it means less smoke on the horizon… here’s hoping 🤞

While the weather is grey, the theatre is best place to be. Catch Theatre SKAM’s Rebel Rhythm from 5/15-17 for a striking, wordless theatrical experience set in a dreamlike space between life and death. Pedro M. Almeida-Siqueira and a live Brazilian musician, bring physical theatre, handcrafted masks, puppetry, and live percussion to life. Enter to win tickets!*
