Come for the magic, stay for the ham sandwiches! Nature Theater of Oklahoma presents a short 4 hour version of their legendary 11 hour melodramatic spectacle, No Dice. An epic of the everyday blown to transcendental proportions, No Dice takes over one hundred hours of the company's recorded telephone conversations and filters them through the conventions of amateur dinner theater to arrive at a uniquely mind-altering experience – with luxurious diversions along the way to address more pressing personal concerns such as: “Should I maybe stop drinking?”, “Am I going to get fired?”, and “How can we get to that big Hollywood money?”
In the fight of their artistic lives, on the edge of total failure, the performers engage in mighty battle to get to the heart of the “story” and perform the ultimate heroic task of transforming the coarse stuff of their own lives into art. Will they pull it off?

"t’s not easy, on a Saturday night in this maddening city, to feel that you have landed exactly where you want to be, and even, perhaps, where you need to be. But No Dice, performed by the Nature Theater of Oklahoma, is that rare, wondrous type of theatrical sustenance: You leave blissful and sated, yet wanting more… No Dice is a tour de force. Its limited, deeply human characters express the grandiose desire to engage the “universal cosmic murmur.” Instead, they embody it. Resistance is futile." - The New York Times
