With a tight-wire Time Warp and high flying Columbia, this isn't your usual shadow-cast fare. It's not a film screening, it's a circus.
March 2022, come see Rocky Horror characters like you never have before. Back for the first time since 2017, it's the Rocky Horror Circus Show: hotter, gayer, more experienced. A spectacular circus tribute show to celebrate our love of the cult classic.
This event is 18+ only
Come dressed for a wild night, pants optional - masks required, and let us show you a weird time. We'll do the Time Warp again!

Paper Moon Coffee, San Jose

Be a Coffee Roaster for a day and learn the Art of Coffee Roasting from a local woman-owned Coffee Roasting Company, Papermoon Coffee Co.
For a limited time, get a Paper Moon Mug and Tote along with your bag of coffee! The demonstration roast on our Joper 15kg roaster will bring you up close and personal to the process of roasting.
You will take coffee beans from green to a rich and chocolate color then turning them into your very own blend.
We will walk you through all the stages the beans go through as they dry, then enter into first crack, where they begin to become the familiar bean you know and love.
After the coffee roasts, we will take you through the production steps blending and bagging your own beans.
We'll also taste some Paper Moon Coffees and you can expand your pallette.
As your session ends you will leave with a better understanding of coffee culture: from seed to cup. Getting to know a local roaster and taking home your personally roasted beans.
Also available for corporate trainings, or schedule a private session.
