About The Show On The Roof

Step right up for the Howdy Pardner Drive-In, hosted by the one…the only… Al Travelstead.

But tonight will be a little different. Tonight Al tells the story he doesn’t want to tell. The story of what happened back in 1955 when moral panic swept through the community.

When fear and suspicion over hidden lives sent this town into a tailspin. Will Al’s Show on the Roof reveal the truth behind the tunes? The secrets beneath the sequins? Well you’ll just have to find out for yourself…

Don't miss out on this truly amazing performance, get tickets now and have them delivered instantly via email and SMS!
