It has been said that March comes in like “a lion, and goes out like a lamb.” This month, the former is certainly true, and this event round up has something for you to “roar” over. With early Saint Patrick’s Day events, a celebrated McCraney play at Ujima, Drag Brunch, and comedian David Cross, you will definitely find yourself entertained this March… and we ain’t lion… we mean lying.
