DISCOVERY SCHOOL DRAMA PRESENTS:
SHAKESPEARE CAN FIX THAT!
a comedy by Mr. Fenn. 
Opening night – Friday, March 1st, 7:00 pm. 
Saturday matinee on March 2nd, 1:00pm.
Two college student janitors are stuck in a therapy group meeting and one of them, a reader of Shakespeare, ends up being the facilitator because the real group leader is running late.  The therapy group is a room full nuts: one believes she is a CIA operative, another makes bodily noises, then there’s the hypochondriac and the narcoleptic, and the sarcastic girl, and finally, the one who cries over everything.  Of course, a comedy wouldn’t be complete without an exploding toilet.
Tickets: Prime (1st 5 rows) – Lmp. 120, adult, Lmp. 80, student. General – Lmp.100, adult, Lmp.70 student. Back (cement steps) – Lmp. 80 adult, Lmp. 50 student.
