Welcome to Your Alternative Reality at Atwater Village Theatre

Take the edge off your week with a bracing tonic of laughter and lunacy! Highlights in this evening of interwoven one-acts and sketches include a liberal journalist working for a right wing news program; an octogenarian stressing about the future of the planet; high-level government leakers in love; and a dry cleaner who might be our next president. What do they all have in common? Each is stuck in this strange new post-election world we live in. Continues through Aug. 12: Fridays & Saturdays @ 8 p.m., Sundays @ 7 p.m; Open Fist Theatre Company at Atwater Village Theatre, 3269 Casitas Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90039; $15-$20; (323) 882-6912; www.openfist.org
