Purgatorium
featuring Hot Mess High
March 20th│7:30pm
Hot Mess High
High school equals high comedy! Wander the halls of Hot Mess High, full of all the jocks, popular kids, burnouts, nerds, and hapless grownups you remember. We wouldn't want to go back to high school, but it's pretty fun to visit.
Purgatorium
Every soul as some good in them and deserves redemption. Help us decide which ones are ready to go to the paradise and the ones who need more time in the Purgatorium.
