TEENS. ANGST. THE KKK. FURBALLS.

In the fictional southern town of Hillsbottom, a place with a prominent community of young Ku Klux Klan members, a furball has been sighted. But the teenagers still hang out in their cars on serene nights with their friends and crushes, and question, as teens do, absolutely everything.

Content Warning: Sincerity Forever contains racist garb and sentiment.

Student rush tickets are available 10 minutes prior to curtain for $10, based on availability and with a valid student ID. (Student rush is available for Flea produced shows only.)

*All tickets include an additional $2 Theater Restoration Fee, which keeps the lights on in our new digs.
