We'll see you Saturday. ;)

Sunday, our clocks fall back. Why not spend Saturday night at an amazing show?

Artrageous has been compared to the Blue Man Group for its incredible visuals and engaging audience participation.

One lucky audience member will get the chance to win a painting (valued at $15,000!), and EVERYONE gets the chance to meet the performers before and after the show, including photo opportunities with the art - ON STAGE!

A show like this doesn't come to town very often. Don't miss your chance to have a great night and create some instagram-worthy moments (and memories).
