the show helps to make sense of
misunderstood parents, non-
sensical politicians and hints solu-

The former sports a small cast
and deals with the misadventures
of Dave and Christy — two stran-
gers brought together in efforts to
successfully sneak out of the
men’s restroom in a Greyhound
bus station.

Although it is light and humor-
ous in nature, the play deals with

tions through the cracks.

It holds something for all who
year for a better world, while
following a thematic approach to
something as trivial (yet devastat-

Stage managers Jeff Costin and
Laura Holland are kept busy with
their crew in adding the finishing

The show runs from Thursday
through Saturday at Parkland, and
doors open at 7:15 p.m. (early
birds) for the 8 p.m. show. Tickets
can be obtained by calling the box
office at 656-5280 from 9 a.m. to 3
p.m. or at the door. The cost is $5
general admission and $7
reserved.
