Do you have a tendency towards nerdiness? Check out Dungeons and Dragons (not) The Musical, which is playing in the basement of Snakes and Lattes. It`s a six hour show, but you aren`t expected to stay the entire time – you can come and go as you please, although they won’t let more than 20 people in at once.

Sandra Pascuzzi says that by doing this show she is trying to combat islamophobia that exists, which I commend her for. Unfortunately that didn’t work for me in her show So I Married A Muslim.
Sandra seems like a lovely woman and I am happy she found true love that crosses cultural boundaries but I am afraid I just didn’t find the story all that interesting; I wanted to get more into the politics and social differences, but it was all a little too personal and not so universal for me.
