Hello!

After three years of shut doors, we have reopened our performance space Monty Hall! We held a couple events there last month, and on May 7th, we will be hosting a screening of What the Hell Happened to Blood, Sweat & Tears? 
This rock documentary involves the U.S. State Department, the Nixon White House,the governments of Yugoslavia, Romania and Poland and documentary footage that has been suppressed for over 50 years by one or all of the above. Get your tickets here! We are so excited to make stuff happen in there again. If you wanna check out past Monty Hall shows and radio sessions, click here and find our videos of Silver Apples, Mary Lattimore, Mark Hurst's Skeptech event, Boogarins, and more.
