CITRUS ANDRONICUS
devised/written by Eli Lynn directed by Charlotte Northeast September 7-17 @ Poth Brewery Dr. Madeline's brilliantly insightful lecture has been relocated from Ballroom D to a loading dock where two enthusiastic clowns are busy loading in crates of fresh fruit.

Freshly squeezed. |
