So join Recce (Balloon Boy: The Musical, Broadwayworld's "Rachel Unraveled"), a kicks ass band, and a cluster of special guests and sultry snowflakes for an evening of songs that laugh in the face of Betsy DeVos, Tomi Lahren, Neo-Nazis and beyond. Plus, if you come, you won't have to write on his wall.
