In this savagely hilarious comedy-thriller, three stories cross outside of Portland, Oregon including an illicit affair, a couple hanging on by a thread, bears at the window, the worst curiosity shop on the west coast, and an adorable missing dog named Mr. Bundles. No one's happy, people stop being nice, and blood spills. This mash up of myth, missing empathy, and "good neighbors" explores what happens when the mercury rises.* * February 20th, 21st, 26th, 27th, and 28th at 7:30pm* *February 22nd and March 1st at 3pm* *Kalberer Theatre at Maltz Performing Arts Center* * General Admission $15* *Adults 60+ and CWRU Faculty/Staff $10* *Students with ID $5* *For tickets call 216.368.6262 or visit Theater.Case.Edu/Tickets <http://Theater.Case.Edu/Tickets>*
