This winner of an Oliver Award for Best Musical mixes one part Shakespeare’s The Tempest, one part 1950s B movie fave The Forbidden Planet, and healthy handfuls of vintage rock and roll standards like “Wipe Out,” “Great Balls of Fire,” “Who’s Sorry Now,” “Born to Be Wild,” and many, many more. Prepare to dance in the aisles as you experience this irresistible retro-radioactive cult sensation send up of a sci-fi drive-in opus!

Also, it is an election year and there are a few board openings. I will not be running again for re-election so myspot as president will be open. Gary Allar has decided not to seek re-election so the treasurer is open. And Amy Thompson will not be seeking re-election as Vice-President.
