Prepare to laugh, gasp, and shiver as we tackle this tale of the world gone to Hell.” Directed by Andrej Visky. Join OISS staff at a ticket rate of $10. Space is limited. Food and drinks will be available for purchase during the show (the house opens for dinner and drinks at 6:30). For more information, please visit: yalecabaret.org. All sales are final. |
