June 15 - November 26, 2016

A president for the people, by the people -- that's who Andrew Jackson believes he is. BLOODY BLOODY ANDREW JACKSON careens through the life and career of the charismatic and controversial seventh president, complete with rock anthems, power ballads, and wily politicians. This unswerving look at American history (sort of) and one of it's most infamous presidents will keep you singing along on the edge of your seat.

WARNING: This show is chock-full of f-bombs and offensive stuff. Make sure you're ready to join the revolution (and don't forget your air guitar).


Ages: 17+
