PERSONALITY DISORDER. This unpredictable

evening is affordable, fun, and packed with laughs

from start to finish. The show includes improvisation-

al comedy sketches like those seen on the popular tele-

tors instantly create onstage. Performers use ingredi-

ents such as everyday objects, strange maladies, and

unusual circumstances to cook up unconventional

mini-plays that appear and disappear in a matter of

minutes
