"Laughing Liberally has been doing limited runs in New York and around the country for almost 20 years, seeking, as we say, to save democracy one laugh at a time. If the current election cycle isn't a great time to save democracy, I don't know what is,"comments Producer Eric Krebs. "If we can't find the outrageous dark humor and satire in this election, we never will! And our special guest Judge Andrew Napolitano will bring a surprising perspective to both the intellect and the outlandish humor of Laughing Liberally."

The performance schedule is Tuesday - Saturday at 7:30pm and Sunday at 3:00pm. Tickets are $20 & $49 and available at www.Theater555.com.
