Earth, air, water, and fire - every vital element reaches critical risk level in Last Man Club, an engaging, dystopian mood piece from writer/director Randy Sharp at Axis Theater.

The idea of two companies in one community doing the same show within a few months of each other poses many questions.

In any case, nobody appeared to suffer any ill effects from the repetition.
