<div><font size="4">Please consider joining OddyFest for its last show on Wednesday nights and its last in the <strong>Heights Arts Studio (2340 Lee Road) in one week's time (Wednesday, 8/19) at 7:15 for "From Mars & Venus,"</strong> our strange and oft-hilarious collection of gender plays and songs. Whether it's the zaniness of "football" commentary in With Flying Color or the self-referential The Play About Women or the burn-tastic battle rap "I Don't Wanna," this show has something for everybody.</font></div>

<div><font size="4">As a way of segue-ing to Year Two, when we'll be on Friday nights and won't charge admission, we have tons of Oddy merchandise available at low-low prices of $5-10, including <strong>Oddy-T's</strong>, the brand-new <strong>Hamilton's Revenge!
