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) – 120, adult, 80, student. General – 100, adult, 70 stu. Back (cement steps) – 80 adult, 50 student.
