BASTARDLY DASTARDS: They didn’t just survive the first
Cutting Room Floor—they thrived. Now, with a four-show run ahead, this unpredictable troupe brings sharp-witted comedy, bold experimentation, and maybe even some spontaneous musical madness to the stage. Whether welcoming a special guest or flipping a scene on its head, they embrace chaos with charm, leaving audiences laughing, gasping, and maybe even singing along. Catch the Dastards every other Saturday: 4/5, 4/19, 5/3, and 5/17.
