What are the odds?
Ethan wakes up one morning to find a very strange cat stuck on his
head. The cat, Odds, refuses to budge until Ethan wins a game of
probability. Without looking, Ethan must pick out a dime from his
coin collection or two matching socks from his dresser, or do
something else improbable. If he doesn't, Odds is there to stay,
and Ethan has a 100% chance of missing his big soccer game.
A very improbable story about a challenging math concept.
When a valuable fraction goes missing, George Cornelius Factor
(a.k.a. GCF) vows to track it down. Knowing that the villainous Dr
Brok likes to disguise his ill-begotten fractions, GCF invents a
Reducer - a tool that strips away the disguise, reducing the
fraction and revealing its true form. Equal parts of action and
humour add up to a wholly entertaining introduction to simplifying
fractions.

The humor in LYSISTRATA is the focus of this latest adaptation.
Playwright Edward Einhorn, known for his comic absurdist plays,
translates the ancient Greek humor into something equally amusing
to a modern audience, without losing the flavor of the ancient
text. Complete with essays, selected music, and a second version of
the play for inventive directors, this newest adaptation of
Aristophanes' philosophical comedy focuses on three elements of the
human condition that have not changed in nearly 2500 years: war,
sex, and, most of all, laughter.
