“People who come to the event get to experience all of these different renditions, and there’s definitely an element of competition,” says Wigle’s Jill Steiner. “But the biggest reason people get involved is because it’s a fun event.”
Here’s a list of a few of the organizations taking part tonight:
Attack Theatre

They’ll also be slinging $5 cocktails, and live music will be playing all evening.
