"Win prizes, join in on the costume contest and enjoy great food while having fun with the theater people!"

Masked Madness 2019 supports Desert Foothills' scholarships, education and productions for its season and is hosted by David Simmons of the UBU Project.

This is a deeply touching play filled with humor and exploring the minds, hearts and souls of two brilliant men addressing the greatest questions of all time. Tickets are $25 and may be purchased at www.dftheater.org.
