We are partnering with our friends at superofficial (our neighboring coffee shop) to bring this special show back for a second year, and as always they will be making breakfast treats, coffee, lattes, matcha lattes and anything else you might want right inside the Capitol Theatre for the entire duration of the show! We’re also featuring a variety of vendors that you can check out throughout the show. Doors will open at 9:00am with the show beginning at 10:00am. The show runs just over 2 hours from start to finish (with a 10 minute intermission between episodes 5 and 6).

Your ticket will allow you admission into the theater for the day, so, whether you want to watch the program all the way through twice, take some time to check out all the vendors upstairs, leave after the first screening, or join us just for the second screening–or any variation you can think of–your ticket will let you do exactly that!
