But tonight he’s ready to challenge his critics before riding his beloved electric currents into the Great Beyond.</span></p><p style="margin:0px;padding:0px;font-family:'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;font-size:13px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);"></p><p class="yiv2257674692MsoNormal" style="margin:0px;padding:0px;font-family:'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;font-size:13px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);"><span style="font-size:11pt;"> </span></p><p class="yiv2257674692MsoNormal" style="margin:0px;padding:0px;font-family:'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;font-size:13px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);"><i><span style="font-size:11pt;">The Chase Genius and His Deathray Gun </span></i><span style="font-size:11pt;">is directed by convergence-continuum director Geoffrey Hoffman.
