Return to the 1970s with David Mamet’s eternal battle of men and women. SEXUAL PERVERSITY is an abrasive but honest look at the state of sex in the minds of adults during the post-collegiate and early career building years. Mamet, as in all of his plays, shows honest humanity in tangible, easily-believed characters. The language is obscene & perverse but horrifically true-to-life and natural. This play contains adult language. Performances are May 4-5, 10-12 and 17-19 at 7:30 PM. May 4 preview: all seats $10. Friday & Saturday evenings: $16 adult, $14 student and senior; Thursday evenings: $14 adult, $12 student and senior.
