Bethlehem or Bust: How the Three Kings Teamed Up to Deliver the World’s Very First Christmas Presents Piper McKenzie Productions
Everyone knows about the Three Kings and their gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh, but not so many people know about the adventures they had on their way to the manger. Bethlehem or Bust, Piper McKenzie’s first-ever family show, envisions the Wise Men as swashbucklers on an action-packed journey where they need to brave all sorts of robbers, monsters, Roman soldiers – and the occasional shepherd – on their way to meet one of history’s most famous babies. (Great for kids age 7 and up!) 75 minutes Sat Jan 1 @ 2pm |

Raising Cane: A Family Portrait Pug Mike Samantha
In the tradition of early John Waters and Troma Films, “Raising Cane: A Family Portrait” follows the familial dysfunctions of simpleton in-breeds who love nothing more than beating each others brain's out. Camp humor and grotesque combat combine to explore the question of whether we stick with family cause we love 'em or if we love 'em because we can't escape. 55 minutes Fri Jan 20 @ 8pm
