TONIGHT: Final Takin’ It to the Beats Improvised A Cappella Show 1

TONIGHT: Final Takin’ It to the Beats Improvised A Cappella Show

Tonight, we lower the curtain on the four-month long journey that has been Takin’ It to the Beats at the Playground Theater. 

Join us one last time as we take your suggestion of a college to form a crazy, quirky a cappella team, harmonize songs in a semi-circle with some badass beat boxing, and take some characters to some wild places no person in a cappella team has ever (probably) been before).

That’s TONIGHT, Saturday.

10 PM

The Playground Theater 

$10 / $5 for Students
