Who Slaughtered Daddy Dearest?
Saturday
7:30 PM
How queer... From the minds that brought you the holiday sensation A Very Steamworks Christmas comes a new murder mystery! Tucked away in the mountains of Aspen, Colorado is the sleepy Hoggy Log Inn and Ski Resort, where there have been no murders... Until a rich daddy brings together his dearest friends (and enemies) for a big announcement. Was it his sweet sugar baby? The jealous brother? The spoiled daughter? The bitter ex? In this farcical, chaotic, and very queer play, find out Who Slaughtered Daddy Dearest, written and directed by Noah Lanos and Connor James Hirsch.
Funny Planet
Saturday
9:30 PM
MAYDAY! MAYDAY! Your space shuttle is making an emergency crash landing on the nearest planet where the only (semi) intelligent life forms are Karly, Evan, and Emma. They’ve spent all their lives writing sketches and awaiting an audience, and now you’re finally here! But beware that on Funny Planet nothing is as it seems… and everything is stupid…
