Tank (Top) Dance Party with DJ Shannon Blowtorch (21+)

7:30 PM

A wildly entertaining musical romp set to the electrifying hits of the Go-Go's, following a royal family on a madcap quest to save their kingdom—only to discover that the key to survival lies within their own hearts. Bursting with 1980s rock energy and theatrical charm, this is the kind of joyful, high-spirited show that reminds you why live theater matters.
