Cedar City Falls
BUY TICKETS HERE!
Cedar City Falls
written by Liz Tuccillo (author of the best selling book He’s Just Not That Into You: The No Excuses Truth To Understanding Guys) with Sex and the City writers: Julie Rottenberg, Elisa Zuritsky & Cindy Chupack.
CEDAR CITY FALLS tells the story of a small peaceful town filled with hard-working, God-fearing folk who due to a series of unfortunate incidents and petty squabbles, gets plunged into full-scale civil war. It is a parable (and parody) of conflict escalation, war, activism, peace and redemption.
Each week the show will feature a different celebrity guest narrator including John Slattery and Talia Balsam (MAD MEN), Grant Shaud (MURPHY BROWN) and Jesse L. Martin (LAW AND ORDER, THE PHILANTHROPIST).
**All of the box office proceeds will go to a different human rights charity every week including Amnesty International, Doctors Without Borders and the Center for Constitutional Rights.

BUY TICKETS HERE FOR NERD NITE!
First, back by popular demand, I give thee another dose of hetero Nerd Nite speed dating! Yes, 25 gals and 25 fellas united by 3-minute chats. Anyone is welcome, though we hope you have some nerdy tendencies. Apparently several matches from the spring are still going strong! Admission for speed dating also includes admission to the regular Nerd
Nite program which will follow the dating festivities. Which brings me to…the regular Nerd Nite program features our humanitarian – and spooky – side. In separate presentations, Shana Dressler and Amanda Judge share practical ways you can help alleviate poverty and improve the lives of underprivileged communities both internationally and locally, even you’re real real lazy or completely entrenched in consumerism. And then Julia Galef rounds things out by exploring how our brains fool us into believing in things that aren't real, even though the majority of humans believe in demons, witches, ESP, astrology, telekinesis, dowsing rods, homeopathy, alien abductions, and spirit planes (and true love, aw snap!…I made that last one up).
