    <description>&lt;br/&gt;Return to the 1970s with David Mamet&#8217;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 &amp; perverse but horrifically true-to-life and natural. This play contains adult language.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Performances are May 4-5, 10-12 and 17-19 at 7:30 PM. May 4 preview: all seats $10. Friday &amp; Saturday evenings: $16 adult, $14 student and senior; Thursday evenings: $14 adult, $12 student and senior. Student rush tickets, if available 30 minutes before each performance: $8 with I.D. Tickets go on sale April 17.&lt;br/&gt;
