Bring your cameras to get memorable shots of your kids on stage. Everyone in the family loves the interactive games and music created on the spot.

LMAO Off-Broadway (Saturday 9/28 10pm; $20 tickets) is a fast paced, high energy improvised sketch and musical revue based on audience suggestions. Top scandals, news and pop culture icons are lampooned. Recent shows have included scenes based on "Crisis In Syria", Mylie Cyrus at the VMAs (Twerk This!) and the Media's bizarre covering of both. Come be a part of the show!
