Tickets are also available at Sun King Brewery, Luna Music and Indy CD & Vinyl.

Will there be booze?  Are you kidding? We pulled out all the tricks for this one.  We brought in our good friends from Indiana Vodka, Woodford Reserve and Sun King Brewery to offer you some of the best libations around.  Not to mention, two of them are brewed / distilled right here in Indianapolis.  There will be a full bar in the main lobby and a second bar in the Theatre (offering specialty Vodka and Whiskey Drinks, as well as cans of that tasty Sun King!)

Be sure to listen to Bob and Tom Tuesday morning (94.7 WFBQ).  Zane and Co. will be on Bob and Tom promoting the show!  Help us spread the word about this one-of-a-kind event!  Forward the link to this page on to your friends or invite them to the Facebook Event here.  Have a question? We would love to help.  Email us at mokbpresents@gmail.com.

Event Details
The Athenaeum Theatre is located at 401 E. Michigan Street, in the same complex that houses The Rathskeller and YMCA.  The theatre entrance is located near the corner of New Jersey and Michigan Streets.

The box office will open at 7 PM.  Enter through the main doors off of Michigan street (right next to the Rathskeller). Proceed up the steps to the lobby where you will find the Box Office table.  The lovely Jessica will be waiting to assist you in picking up/purchasing your tickets. Once you are checked in, you will be able to go up to the 2nd level (Theatre Level) and drink at the bar until the main doors open at 7:30 PM. Anyone that will be drinking will need to have a wristband, which you can get directly next to the bar on the theatre level.

Doors to the show open at 7:30 PM.  Seating is general admission.  Seating is set up with 4 chairs at each table.  Get there early and grab a seat right up front! 

There is plenty of parking on Mass Ave, New Jersey and East Streets.  There is also a parking lot to the East of the building but it will fill up fast!

This is a non-smoking event but we will offer pass-outs if you need to step out side for a moment.

Remember to drink responsibly!
