 It's a fiercely funny farce about "men and their befuddlements" — great for Spring!
Arthur is about to get married, but he has a secret problem. Unbeknownst to his fiery Texan fiancée, Lucille, Arthur has a sexual fetish: he cannot perform unless he is in sight of a particular pair of his father's argyle socks. Even though Arthur has sought therapy for six years, his brilliant but unconventional and wily psychiatrist, Dr. Block, has been unable to cure Arthur of his odd fixation, and therefore has resorted to thievery of the socks themselves.
Arthur must retrieve those socks, or the wedding will not happen! But since he cannot alone overcome the formidable Dr. Block, Arthur enlists his friend Howard for help.
Add to the mix Howard's gossip-loving wife, Ellie, and the foundation is set for an outrageous farce as big and funny as the human mind.
Arthur..........Dan Anderson
Lucille..........Caryn Hoagland-Trevett
Howard.......Damon Abdallah
Ellie.............Bethany Hart
Dr.Block.......John Hart
