There will be dancing as Tania and Shouting Thomas Torment spin R&B, soul, garage, and rockabilly singles. There will be the opportunity to meet the Cleveland Print Room’s newly arrived artist-in-residence from Chile, Pablo Serra Marino, who is in town for a three-month stay. And of course, there will be the opportunity to have your photo taken in the photo booth. Costumes and props will be on hand if you feel like getting crazy.
