One of our six in-person SoCal shows later this month has just sold out, so if you are interested in seeing us in person there, please do buy tickets now rather than later. If you want to see "Rebel with a Clause" but do not care whether you see us or not, you have fifteen additional options. 😀

The seats marked in red are already taken for the Los Angeles premiere of "Rebel with a Clause" at the Laemmle Royal on Oct. 22. If you would like to go, please buy tickets now. Brandt and I will be there, and we would love for our SoCal friends to be able to be there too. ♥️

Tonight (Sept. 25) is our last show in the Bay Area before we head to Kansas and Nebraska. If you haven't yet seen "Rebel with a Clause" and you are within driving distance of Sebastiani Theatre in Sonoma, Brandt Johnson (the filmmaker) and I hope you will consider coming to the show.
