One To Many...

…presented by Thunder Tangent Productions, is a post-dramatic collective creation about alcohol, substance abuse, and failure. We will plumb the very depths of the inner workings of our souls. We will explore substance abuse from a historical, scientific, and personal perspective. We will find ourselves and lose ourselves and find ourselves again, (probably), all while drunk and getting drunker. Imagine the shenanigans. Imagine the tomfoolery. We'll probably even learn some lessons.
