Casey Thomas Anderson, Scott Cazan/w.keusch, and the inimitable…Mark Trayle. Performances start at 8pm, there is a $5 donation request at the door, and Pehrspace has a very nice BYOB situation going (so plan ahead). A note about location: Pehrspace is located on Glendale Blvd., just south of Temple, on the west side of the street. It is in the back of a parking lot, behind a small palm tree. There is copious street parking on Glendale Blvd. and in the surrounding neighborhood. You may also park in the lot, but there are very few spaces. There is decent Thai food, however.
