The country's mood and its military entanglements, the frustrations of unemployment and sex are on the menu. "Counter Men" is poignant and prurient - - a play punctuated by song compliments of a counter man who uses his laptop as his orchestra. This new play, both timely and touching, exposes the fundamental truth that in the end - - love is the solution.Tickets: Preview - $10 General Admission - $20Ticket Purchase/Information: (323) 960-5521 or www.plays411.com/countermen Whitefire Theatre 13500 Ventura Boulevard Sherman Oaks 91423
