The Rubber Repstaurant: A typical Rubber Repertory performance in that it was 1) unlike anything else you've ever experienced, 2) deeply interactive and enjoyable, 3) equal parts brilliant and silly and weird and poignant, and 4) requiring a daunting amount of organization and labor behind-the-scenes.
