Empties

APRIL 15−20, 2010 Lab Theatre, Gordon Wilson Hall

Empties

By Andy Wolfendon

An unlikely trio of social drop-outs battle existential angst by keeping their eye on the prize;

building the perfect beer can sculpture. That is until big sister shows up,

determined to "save" them from themselves. Then all bets are off!

Funny and surprisingly touching, Empties is recommended for mature audiences.
