This show is SOLD OUT. Tickets may be available at the door night-of.

Hello! I’m Arnie. I fell through a magical dimensional portal behind a Burger King in Chicago and found myself in a strange magical land called “Foon.” I’m still somehow getting a weak wi-fi signal from the Burger King so I host a weekly podcast from the tavern the Vermilion Minotaur, interviewing monsters, wizards and adventurers.

There are worlds other than our own! With special guest Trace Beaulieu ("Mystery Science Theater 3000") ($35 Orchestra, $25 Mezzanine, All Ages)
