Five performances--March 20 & 21 and March 26-28--MainStage Theater

A witty, bittersweet meditation on morality.  This provocative, darkly comic and perfectly bonkers play about the "mortal blocks" embedded in people's bodies (wait--you didn't know about those?!)  Most people have those tucked awary behind the heart, undetected, but some--such as themelancholy high-schooler Dale--are unlucky enough to have them ticking in their brains, like a time bomb.  Dale not only can hear her clock but can tell just by listening how much time she has left.  On line, box office and phone sales begin February 16.

*Friday, March 27 will be a EMU Faculty & Staff "Pay What You Will" performance.  All Faculty & Staff ticket proceeds will go directly to the EMU Theater Scholarship Fund

Seating: General Admission
Show Length: 2 hours
