Open Fist’s ‘Welcome to Your Alternative

Reality’ takes edge off collective anxiety
 

WHAT:
Welcome to Your Alternative Reality — Take the edge off your week with a bracing tonic of laughter and lunacy! Highlights in this evening of interwoven one-acts and sketches include a liberal journalist working for a right wing news program; an octogenarian stressing about the future of the planet; high-level government leakers in love; and a dry cleaner who might be our next president. What do they all have in common? Each is stuck in this strange new post-election world we live in.
