Either way, you'll have a great time. I mean, just imagine a sandwich singing your favorite Taylor Swift song. Glorious. Some puppets will be provided, however we highly encourage you to bring your own--because GEERRRMSSS! No actual singing required. In fact, we prefer you not.

Or come to be in the audience and see what happens! BYOP if you intend to perform.
