THE BEST LIL HAHA HOUSE IN TEXAS

SPECIAL EVENTS

Everything You Wanted to Know About White Supremacy…

Saturdays at 8:30pm April 13 – May 18

EVERYTHING YOU WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT WHITE SUPREMACY* (*but were too afraid to ask), is a satirical sketch revue exploring white supremacy’s grip on America through comedy. The show isn’t designed to solve racism (or offer any REAL answers) but rather highlight the absurdity, and horror, of it all.   
 
This project has been financed in part or in whole by the City of Austin's Elevate program.
