    What a unique and fun romp of eavesdropping on a first date in a Chinese restaurant, right down to the fortune cookie! Randall is one hilarious "Prairehead" nerd and Marie offers a great character counter-balance. Loved it that the Prairie Convention was slated to be held is Paramus, New Jersey! A sure hit at a ten minute play festival!
