BISS List 03.16.22: Skull & Roses Fest + The Edwardian Ball + Best of this Week

Happy St. Patrick’s Day BISS Listers! Don’t forget to wear your green tomorrow so you don’t get pinched.

It was great to see so many of you at the Pigeons Playing Ping Pong at UC Theatre! What a great little theatre that is to see a show in. I am looking forward to more there soon.

We have TWO great spotlights for you this week which are both a few weeks away so this will give you time to plan. I am definitely attending both and hope to see you there!
