“Aitken for Two Long(s)”
presented by Wylie Aitken and Casey & Camryn Long

A show that has been years in the making… Wylie, Casey, and Camryn combine forces to create the perfect Chance-a-thon show. However, things take an unexpected turn when the dynamic trio is told they must prove themselves before they can officially join the last Chance-a-thon ever, resulting in a funny and poignant (but mostly funny) combination of film and theater! Will they make it into the line-up, or will the judges decide to shut them out forever?
