Rock Paper Scissors: A Brief History and Tournament

It's The Pitts Productions • Professional company

60 minutes•Nic 8 (Nicolson Square Gardens)
A rock, paper, scissors battle to the death (figuratively), where you might even learn a thing or two (literally). A comedy, a game show and, technically, a lecture. For example: did you know there have been legal cases decided by rock, paper, scissors? That's right, multiple. Fight for glory in multiple layers of rock-paper-scissorsdom – including for the most-coveted award: The Champion Of Losers. As seen at the Reykjavik Fringe and enjoyed by kids and grownups alike.
