On the Fyda-Mar Stage…
This deliciously dark comedy centers around the infinitely-(trying-to-be-)optimistic Sherry Wickman. Despite having to move back in with her family after college, things take a turn for the better when she’s hired as an art teacher. Now, if only her mother would come downstairs, her sister would stop watching Top Gun from the couch, her first patient would do one assignment, her boss would leave his gun at home, and someone would catch the actual tiger that escaped from the local zoo, everything would be just perfect!
Recommendation: Ages 13 and up. Contains adult language.

Great Show!
It was perfect! Engaging, well-paced, and beautifully portrayed by the cast.
It was perfect!
I loved everything about the show. I can’t think of anything to improve the experience. If I lived in California, I’d purchase season tickets.
It was perfect.
One of the funniest yet touching shows I’ve seen in a long time. The cast was superb – incredible timing, and not a misstep to be had in a fast-paced production. Worth every penny – and then some!
Great Cast, Great set, Beautiful theater. You guys are first rate all the way.
FANTASTIC!
