April 10 - 12, 2009 – Revenge of the Space Pandas, or Binky Rudich & The Two-Speed Clock by David Mamet
Binky Rudich, his friend Viv, and his almost human sheep Bob tinker with a two-speed clock with the idea that, as Binky says, "Time on Earth moves at the same speed all the time, but there is another speed, a slower speed, and if we could find it, everything would stand still on Earth and we would spin off." Only a very serious playwright could produce such an insane comedy! Presented by the Junior Repertory Company.
