Join us for a laughter-filled matinee program of four newly-restored short comedies by Laurel & Hardy, presented with a live piano score performed by Bruce Vogt.

From the late 1920s to the mid-1950s, they were internationally famous for their slapstick comedy, with Laurel playing the clumsy, childlike friend to Hardy's pompous bully.
