60’s Trivia Night Results!
Our 60’s Trivia Night to promote this late autumn’s performance of Jukebox Paradise was held on July 22nd and fired excitement to the audience and neuronal stress and great prizes to the winners. The trivia battle was refereed by our president Ashley James and fought by 3 teams: Jukebox Paradise, Greatness, and Anonymous. Brian Cullen, the writer of the upcoming show, proved his stuff along with his Jukebox Paradise teammates and won the game to take away Red Rock coupons. Jeffery Clap, actor in Jukebox Paradise, tried his best to have his team live up to its name but settled for second place and gift certificates from The Meat Guy. Anonymous pulled up the rear and came in a close third winning a gift certificate from Sienna Restaurant. Other prizes awarded bottles of wine from Marquee Bar in Gifu City. Thanks to all who attended and to our wonderfully generous sponsors.
