SUMMARY:Jane Lynch & Kate Flannery: The Trouble with Angels
DESCRIPTION:The Trouble with Angels \nAn evening of mischief and music from two very familiar faces. It’s like the Rat Pack… but with a couple of broads. \nJoin Emmy Award-winner Jane Lynch and the hilariously charming Kate Flannery for a raucous night of comedy\, song\, and unapologetic mischief in The Trouble with Angels. With powerhouse vocals\, razor-sharp wit\, and more than a few surprises\, these two beloved stars serve up a cocktail of classic tunes\, campy banter\, and devilish charm. It’s part cabaret\, part stand-up\, and all sass—because when these angels get together\, heaven can wait.

Sadly\, her magik (with a K)\, doesn’t make for the most solid career. Down on her luck and with nowhere else to go\, Kendra moves in with her brother\, Huey. The fun doesn’t last long and sibling tension grows as Huey tries to help his sister find a “real job” while running his business\, paying all the bills\, and most importantly\, becoming the best bowler he can be. On the edge of losing everything\, Kendra finally makes a breakthrough and gets the attention of one of the most prominent Covens in the world of Magik. Now if she wants in; it’s the Coven’s way or the no-Magik highway. Can Kendra achieve her dream without pushing away the one person who has always had her back? \n\nAugust 5 @ 7 p.m.\nAugust 8 @ 7 p.m.\nAugust 11 @ 7 p.m.\nAugust 14 @ 7 p.m.
