We've extended the run until Sept. 29th. Only a few tix left: "Our House" - Brownpapertickets.com

It looks like Callie has already heard the news, which is while we are sold out for the rest of this weekend and into next week, four tickets just came available for our immersive play "Our House" tonight. Come see the show that both critics and audiences are saying is like nothing they've ever seen before. ("Our House breaks the rules in its own way and enlarges what theater can be."--Oly Arts)

And believe it or not, we have already been hit with scammers. (Guess it's a sign of success.) If anyone is offering to sell you tickets online, your better bet is to go to right to Brownpapertickets.com.
