UPDATED INFO!

Chamber member Capitol Hill Presbyterian Church is offering family friendly theatrical event. The Mild Mild West is a hilarious play by Cristie Kearny for ages 5-100. Set in 1870 San Francisco, The Mild Mild West is a rollicking farce following two Secret Service Agents (the handsome and capable James West and the brilliant master of disguise, Artemus Gordon) on their mission to keep President Ulysses S. Grant from the clutches of dastardly (yet, decidedly dimwitted) villains.  Ticket and show time info here.
