Dayton Battle of the Bands - Week 6 (Blues / Jam / Funk)

Get cozy with an evening of of music, food, trivia, and Dayton Dinner Theater's famous interactive movie experience with a true fan-favorite film: Office Space!
Themed Food We'll have some snacks and appetizers in the commissary, and then we'll order in some pizza and salad for your lunch break. If there is a birthday we'll serve cake and hopefully you'll get a piece
Themed Drinks: something to get you through the work day or the next century
Themed Attire: Where your favorite stuffy work clothles from 1999 and don't forget the suspenders. BYORS... (bring your own Red Stapler) and don't be stingy on the flair
Themed Music for Name that Tune
Something about the millenium, fax machines, working for a livin, or maybe annoying bosses
*Drink and food menu items subject to change
