Performances are Friday and Saturday, January 30 and 31, at 7:30 p.m. in Hillview School's multipurpose room, 1100 Elder Ave., Menlo Park. The play's "oddball characters seemingly ad lib their way through the wildest plot ever to come down the pike," said director Bob Crabb. Tickets -- at $3 to $5 -- are available from cast members and at the door.
