Special Benefit Screening - Crazy People Thursday, March 25,
2010 Admission: $7.00 (all proceeds to benefit AAF Omaha) Warning: Crazy People Are Coming. Emory works in advertising, and is beginning to crack-up. His latest idea is honesty, e.g. "Volvos, Yes they are boxy, but they're safe". This doesn't go down too well with the boss, so Emory is sent to a psychiatric hospital to 'recover'. Meanwhile, back at the office, Emory's work is accidentally sent to the printers. His ads are a huge success. But now Emory has fallen for Kathy (another patient) and so doesn't want to leave.
