<div><font size="4">Due to New Year's Day pushing the OddyFest schedule back a few weeks, we have a show next week (our last of the January program), and then a show the very next week (the first of our February program)-- quite an oddity for OddyFest. Please consider joining us <strong>Friday, January 29, at 7:15</strong> for the crowd-pleasing Bond spoof "Sometimes Never Is Twice More Than Enough for Tomorrow to Die with Diamonds" by Matt Greenfield and the intense "Not a Uterus in Sight" by Michael Oatman.</font></div>
<div><font size="4"></font> </div>
<div><font size="4">THEN, join us for our first-ever Sunday matinee the following week: <strong>Sunday, February 7th, at 3 p.m.</strong> This cross-cultural program is guaranteed to perplex and amuse, with plays, songs, and theatrical experiments jam-packed into the Cleveland Heights Library (2345 Lee Road).</font></div>
<div><font size="4"></font> </div>
<div><font size="4">Both shows are FREE and are located at our traditional venue: the Brody-Nelson MTG Room. Read on for details!</font></div>
