Also rounding out the evening will be special guest star Bill Tush, from the TBS "Tush Show" who, along with former cast member and comedian Rob Cleveland, will recreate the irreverence and intractability of The Henry Morgan Show.

The doors open at 6:15 pm and delicious English fare and beverages will be available for purchase at that time. Public parking is available at Crawford Long Hospital across the street from the theater. All proceeds benefit the Food Bank. Click here for directions.
