Comedian, journalist, novelist and activist Rob Newman makes a hotly anticipated return to comedy with his first complete show in 7 years.

Rob describes the 150-year controversy in evolutionary theory and explores how the latest science demonstrates that DNA is not destiny.

Shotgun Theatre presents an innovative interpretation of the Tony award-winning musical Spring Awakening, a show that delves into the confusing and somewhat tumultuous nature of sexual discovery.
