What is the MISHMOSH?

The Spring MISHMOSH is exactly what it sounds like:
a collision of ideas, styles, experiments, personalities, and movement worlds.
Some works are polished. Some are fresh from the studio. All of them are alive, immediate, and deeply human.

Doors open at 7:15pm. 
Audience will need to sign in at the front desk. Please enter the building from the side door off of S. Highland Ave. There is a small roundabout for cars. Parking in that area is mostly street parking with some lots.
