Spaghetti Festival

Outside-the-box comedy theater the Elysian celebrates its third anniversary with two nights of genre-spanning shows—available à la carte or via a festival pass. The shows span everything from a surreal clown festival to an absurd made-up-language show to a party for time travelers, with a bunch more thrown into the mix, too. Oh, and if you’re trying to sort out that name? If refers to “forget about spaghetti,” the response on the Frogtown-adjacent theater’s marquee to the semi-viral “spaghetti is back” sign at a diner down the street.
