All Rise

CAVEAT is a downtown venue that puts on kick-ass, smart events. We’re redefining the boundary between intellect and entertainment. When the thirst for knowledge hits, you don’t have to sit at home watching TED Talks or binge-reading Wikipedia: this is a home for people who love learning, playing, and getting tipsy. Come for the oddball programming – stay for the beer, food and curious company.

Caveat

Join your hosts and real-life legal eagles Andrea Coleman and JR Strauss as they guide you through the minefield of American jurisprudence using comedy, guile, and good old fashioned case law. What’s funnier than the cornerstones of American justice? Andrea and JR are here to argue that the answer is NOTHING. All Rise is an entertaining mock RE-trial of landmark U.S. Supreme court cases, featuring sketch, dance, a hilarious guest judge, and know-it-all experts. And get ready for the rare instance where you’ll WANT to be chosen for Jury Duty…
This month's topic: Religion -  opiate of the masses or the way, the truth & the light?
