Broadway Tarot + Comedic Brilliance = ROFL
Emily McGill, inventor of the Broadway Tarot Deck, attempts a reading on comedian Jenn Lederer. This is a do-not-miss comedy event at Blue Heron.

The Hirschfeld Broadway Tarot casts Broadway icons in traditional tarot roles, complete with the timeless illustrations of Al Hirschfeld. Jenn Lederer is a comedian and story telling consultant who uses comedy to engage audiences from clubs to The Late Show. Both are unstoppable and… the best of friends.
