Next week we have a “Decades of Drag” Trivia Night. This an audience-participation comedy/musical show with a drag queen entertainer hosting round after round of trivia while making fun of everyone and everything. A little salty language and a mature theme means attendees should be age 18 and up. Those 21 and over may BYOB (we’ll have the ice and cups!). No themed attire is required, but you’re welcome to dress up however you would like! Tiaras and boas are optional, but always amazing! Tickets are available here.

Then, if jazz is your thing, we have a cool night of it for you (or a chance to make jazz your thing if you’ve never tried it as we welcome Edye Evans Hyde and Mike Hyde back to the BIC Center stage. After performing for years with various sized ensembles including small combos, big bands, and orchestras, Edye and Mike are excited to venture out in the intimate setting as a voice and guitar duo specializing in jazz and light pop. Be ready to bask in the comfort of classic gems from the Great American Songbook and choice selections from various other genres, eloquently delivered by Edye & Mike. Get ready to chill by picking up your tickets.
