TICKETS
These will be available at the door beginning one hour before the performance. Tickets are only $8 and we can accept cash, visa and mastercard.

I just saw the 12 Minutes Max last night and after the great combination of good old country music, an incredibly touching and heartfelt monologue, stewed tomato madness, guys and girls dancing in little black dresses and a man talking to (and then beating up) his little stuffed piggie, I had a revelation: On the Boards is my artistic defibrillator.
