The Chameleon's Dish Theatre is really excited to return to Arisia in 2017, and invite you to the next two shows in the Mrs. Hawking series!

Last year in 2016 we brought you "Mrs. Hawking," and you can watch the video of that performance here. We also debuted our second show, Vivat Regina.

This year in 2017, you can see Vivat Regina along with the debut of our third show, Base Instruments!
