Miss Richfield 1981 is in Asians & Homos & Jews- Oh My! on Sunday, July 19 at 8PM and Monday, July 20 at 8PM. Tickets cost $20.

Riding the chocolate wave that's sweeping the country, everyone's favorite Midwestern beauty queen, Miss Richfield, brings her signature charm and a message of tolerance to her triumphant return to the Ars Nova stage! Reaching out-but not touching-she will acknowledge those who are different in color, religious beliefs and even physical capabilities! No one is left out of this show, which Miss R promises will go to new depths with new music, new videos and even some new jokes because, gosh darn it, it's a new world out there!
