Ride along with drivers Angie and Theo as they experience the sheer insanity that is being a driver. Can it really be that crazy? Theo didn't think so when he was Angie's passenger, but after losing a bet to her, he is paying up by being a driver himself for a month.  Who knew it could get this crazy?! As he says, "First I am talking too much. Then I'm not talking enough. One ride, I'm a therapist handling dead Chihuahua ashes, in another I'm a getaway driver in a bank robbery.  I've cleaned up puke and talked to puppets!" Angie and Theo deal with a wild, unpredictable, and absurd array of passengers day after day! It's enough to drive anyone crazy!

Showcase Performance on April 17th.
