Shorter plays by acclaimed Irish playwright Samuel Beckett are juxtaposed with Irish contemporary classical music. Basically, it’s a night of Irish madness, and you can rest assured you aren’t going crazy: that’s just Beckett.

If you’re a fan of Doctor Who, Marty McFly and Quantum Leap, chances are you’ll love this time travel-themed improv show featuring Ken Hall, Sean Tabares, Isaac Kesler and Janet Davidson. Kudos to anyone who pulls off a killer Stephen Hawking impression.
