    MARCH 5 @ 8:00 PM - 10:00 PM

    On Saturday, March 5, at 8 p.m., founding Guerrilla Girls members will stir up audiences in celebration of their year long Twin Cities Takeover with a grand finale multi-media performance at the historic State Theatre. Local singer songwriter Chastity Brown has been added to the show to perform an intimate and exclusive solo acoustic set!
