Dennis Henlsey's THE MISMATCH GAME to Return to the Renberg Theatre, 8/8 & 10

Dennis Hensley's The MisMatch Game returns to the Los Angeles LGBT Center's Renberg Theatre for two more of its riotously unpredictable performances on Friday and Sunday, August 8 and 10, 2014.

With kitschy prizes for volunteer contestants from the audience, it's time to dig out that leisure suit for an affectionate, irreverent, racy parody of '70s game show insanity. For more info about The MisMatch Game, visit its Facebook page.
