Repo! The Genetic Opera will be performed as a shadowcast at All-Con on Saturday March 9th, 2013 at Midnight. The performance will take place on the Oak Ballroom stage on the second floor! Admission to the performance is FREE for All-Con convention attendees.

Due to the theme and content, no convention attendee under 17 will be allowed anywhere near the ballroom unless accompanied by a parent or legal guardian, in which case we must additionally draw the line at the age of 12 for convention standards.

Due to convention guidelines and Addison city law, many standard REPO! props are prohibited from use in the hotel ballroom. Please don't bring any of your own. Amber Does Dallas will have 'official' prop bags with all the props you will need available for purchase before the show and at our cast table on Friday and Saturday.
