Sold out shows, good reviews, and good food! A huge thanks to all those who supported!
Must give a special shout out to “Urban Noodle” which became a favorite cast hang out after many shows because of the amazing service, food, and happy hour after 11pm! Ada and Arlene came out to greet the cast on our last night there and provided us with complementary drinks! Get the Dan Dan Noodles and give Chillito a huge tip because he’s super cool.

“Fabric” tix here.
