SANDRA BERNHARD
Caught Off Guard!
7 pm
Sunday, November 29th
Rio Theatre
These are crazy, how-low-can-we-go-times and Sandy doesn’t like that vibe!
But she’s rising to the occasion, even when she’s CaughtOffGuard, which is on a daily basis.
If you like staying high, getting carried away on perfumed breezes... Or if your setting is continental, a little
sentimental, then Sandy is your girl. She’s there to guide you through these treacherous times, with
a groove, beat and style you’ve become accustomed to.
Just when you think you can’t take it anymore, grab a seat for the one and only Sandy B.
Maybe it won’t change the planet but it sure will elevate the conversation.
