From War and Peace to Green Eggs & Ham, book brush-up is the name of the game as you become part of the hysterical plot to graduate from remedial high school English. Itis 90 minutes of belly-laughing fun, whether you read the books, skimmed the Cliffis Notes or vaguely recall the titles from a neglected summer reading list.
Limited preview tickets are available by calling the Studio Arena Theatre box office at 716-856-5650 or 1-800-77STAGE, or visiting www.studioarena.org.
