Since the stop is part of the band’s Music Education Tour, a $5 donation is suggested. All proceeds will benefit the school’s music program. The band also will lead educational workshops at the school.

New ‘The Office’ spinoff takes place at a Midwestern newspaper

“The Office,” a mockumentary that detailed the endearing mundanity of life at Dunder Mifflin, ran from 2005 to 2013. It’s one of those comfort-food series some fans revisit again and again. In 2024 it seems like a time capsule, the last days of 9-to-5 culture before work-from-home upended it all.
