Show Description:
A zany rich-boy-meets-hometown-girl romantic comedy, Crazy For You tells the story of young New York banker Bobby Child, who is sent to Deadrock, Nevada, to foreclose on a rundown theatre. In Deadrock, Bobby falls for spunky Polly Baker, the theatre owner’s daughter.

Dead Moose tells the story of Job, an eighteen-year-old who miraculously survives a car accident with a moose. Returning home from the hospital, he begins to reassess his life in a series of non-linear vignettes — grappling with questions of death, fate, and religion. All the while, the nagging voice of the dead moose lingers in his head, pushing and provoking him at every turn.
Originally conceived by writer/composer Tyler Tafolla while attending AMDA Los Angeles, Dead Moose first introduced audiences to its songs in 2018 at Republic of Pie in Los Angeles. A concert reading was later staged in January 2025 at the City Heights Performance Annex in San Diego, directed by Tafolla and produced by Kevin “Blax” Burroughs.
Content Disclaimer: Dead Moose is not recommended for audiences under the age of 14. Content includes themes of suicide, abuse, death, religious trauma, body shaming, homophobia and racism. This production contains flashing lights and projections, haze and loud music.
Comedy For Valentines — the ultimate Valentine’s date night that skips the awkward silences, and passive-aggressive gift debates… and replaces them with non-stop, brutally honest relationship humor that hits way too close to home.
Hosted by the sharp-witted Tim X Lee — the former biologist turned comedy veteran who’s been delighting smart crowds with clever, observational humor and impeccable timing for years — this show brings just the right mix of brainy laughs and relatable absurdity to set the tone.
Headlining the night is Joe Sib, the high-energy storyteller and punk-rock veteran (co-founder of SideOneDummy Records, former frontman of Wax and 22 Jacks) who has mastered the art of turning life’s wild detours — from youthful rebellion to modern fatherhood — into hilarious, karmic stand-up gold. Expect raw, engaging stories delivered with infectious enthusiasm and zero filter.
Whether you’re single and thriving, coupled and questioning everything, or just looking for a Valentine’s escape that doesn’t involve overpriced prix-fixe dinners, Comedy For Valentines delivers big laughs, zero pressure, and the kind of comedy that reminds you love (and life) is ridiculous in the best way possible.
A haunting adaptation of Stephen King’s classic tale, Carrie follows a desperate teenage outcast bullied at school and dominated at home by a devout, controlling mother. When Carrie discovers she possesses terrifying telekinetic powers, the pressure builds to a moment of devastating release.
Set in modern-day Chamberlain, Maine, this version of Carrie features a book by Lawrence D. Cohen, music by Oscar-winner Michael Gore, and lyrics by Academy Award-winner Dean Pitchford. The 2012 Off-Broadway revival, which reimagined the piece with a leaner, more emotionally grounded script, won the Off-Broadway Alliance Award for Best Musical Revival.
Powerful. Terrifying. Cathartic. Carrie: The Musical will be a dark, unforgettable semi-immersive experience!

The production includes depictions of bullying, religious extremism, homophobic slurs, violence, and death, as well as discussions of menstruation, and group violence in a school setting.
