Trivia, behind the scenes clips and videos, and lots of laughs. Tickets are limited, get them here: https://buytickets.at/thestraytheater/1922627

Skip was our prop master for all nine years of the show, and he’s here to break down episode 308, “Heck’s Best Thing.” Plus, he shows us some fun Middle memorabilia he took from the set and explains how 3D printing has revolutionized the industry.
