She has dated, she has mated and found out that it is truly overrated! You may be shocked by what you hear or you may feel right at home. Either way, you will laugh your ass off! Brace yourself... this is the truth of what it's like to date in NYC and every possible way to do it! It's dirty, its raw, but most importantly, it's down right hysterical. You will laugh, you will cry and no guarantees that you will stay dry!
Kim Smith: Misfit
Wed's, Mar 2, 9, 16 @ 7pm

Fitting in isn't easy in this saccharine world of unwavering morals and processed celebrity -- but why try? Let award-winning Australian performer Kim Smith take you by the hand and lead you through ruins of disfigured pop and glimmering period treasures, as he mischievously proves that misfits have more fun. Singing in German, French and English, Mr. Smith reinterprets works by Weimar-era composers and modern-day artists alike, including: Friedrich Hollaender, Björk, The Supremes, Kylie Minogue, Hanns Eisler and myriad glittering others in conjuring the decadence and decay of 1920's Berlin. Directed by Christian Coulson, piano accompaniment by Jerry Steichen.
