Shadowbox Live Puts Its Best Foot Forward this Summer

Shadowbox Live is ready to revisit audience favorites from the past season with The Best of Shadowbox Live 2017 opening June 8th at the Brewery District theater, 503 South Front Street.

Sketches and songs from Scandalous (Spring 2016), The Shadow Zone (Fall 2016), and Body Heat (Winter 2017) will be featured in the two-hour production.
