Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!

Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me! is National Public Radio's Peabody Award-winning comedy news quiz show.

Rewind to 1985 when collars were popped, hair was huge, and the wedding singer was the raddest rocker at the reception.

First Floor Theater at Raven Theatre

Originally developed through Clubbed Thumb’s Summerworks Festival, WORK HARD HAVE FUN MAKE HISTORY is an experimental dark comedy that explores chaos, alienation, and the absurdities of modern capitalism.
