This collaborative effort consists of head-writer Johnny Mello and performers Jeff Jenkins, Stephanie Dixon, Kaci Wilhoit, Tim Lee, & Nick Semar. Their next show centers around a group of kids in high school and is titled "High School Dreamz" (cheesy we know...) Performances are May 3-5. Performances on the 3rd begin @ 8pm & 10pm. Performances on the 4th & 5th begin @ 10pm & 11:30pm. Sorry though kids, this show may not be suitable for younger audiences... (Check out their own MySpace page w/ a lot of video!)
