Were we prepared for the first sound queue of tonight's cultured night of theater? No. Were we pleasantly surprised to see actress Jessica Saxvik as Mrs. Ubu contort and screw her face into all the looks we imagine ourselves to possess the morning after a midnight run to Taco Bell?

Probably. And let's face it are we also concerned for the mental health of all the minds involved in crafting Ubu II: Electric Boog-Ubu)?
