Thursday, September 27 at 8pm, ALL presents Ian Ethan Case: Portals. Brand new for Fall 2018, Case's latest live project expands on that creativity in the form of his "Photon Symphony"; an intricate system of synchronized projections which enable a large cast of musicians to virtually join him on stage in a unique blend of virtual reality and live performance.
Tickets $12 online in advance or $15 at the door. Online sales end 1 hour before the show. Doors open at 7:30.
