'Bull in a China Shop'
From the event description:
Aurora Theatre Company has made it a mission to present shows that encourage us to “do better, think deeper, laugh louder and cast wider nets of empathy toward the world.” And it’s hard to think of a show that better represents that ethos than the fast-paced, feminist comedy of "Bull in a China Shop".
When: Friday, Nov. 8, 8 p.m.
Where: Aurora Theatre Company, 2081 Addison St.
Price: $20-$25
