EAP will be there tomorrow night. We don't know too much about the show, but we have heard that it is very funny.

The synopsis reads:
Ali and Ali creators turn their idiosyncratic
brand of post-identity satire to a whole new world: the global
economy has tanked (sort of), the President of the World’s middle
name is Hussein and in Canada, fi ve Arab/Muslim men continue to
be held with no charges, and no access to the evidence against
them. How do you make sense of all that?
This is a Factory Theatre and Cahoots Theatre Company production.
Cahoots Theatre Company has a rich 25 year history of groundbreaking,
envelope-pushing theatre. Neworld Theatre is acclaimed by
both the National Post and the Globe & Mail as a driving force in
independent theatre in Vancouver.
