🎭 Hamilton @ The Auditorium Theatre | Friday (11/28) at 1:00pm – The cultural juggernaut is back, and yes, it’s just as electrifying as everyone says.

Whether it’s your first time or your fifteenth, this show is just as powerful every single time. Don’t throw away your shot—these tickets go fast.
🎸 Katspo / Hardon / Eye Opener / Sevagoth @ Bug Jar | Friday (11/28) at 8:00pm – Four bands, one night, zero chance your ears leave unchanged.

Bring a canned good to score the discount—and maybe to feel better about the sonic pummeling you’re about to enjoy. Music at 9, high-energy vibes all night.
