“Mangia, Mangia!” Cancelled, Returns in July

A leaky valve at Madison’s Elks Club caused a flood which did major, major damage to their facility at 711 Jenifer Street. It’s now closed to the public, which means our sold out shows for Friday and Saturday, February 17 and 18, had to be cancelled. But we’ve rescheduled for Thursday and Friday, July 12 and 13. Stay tuned, and send good wishes to the Elks!
