The Apocalyptic Road Show With Your Hosts Gdjet and Lulu (July 25-28), by John Clancy and directed by Peter Clerke, brings a pair of entertainers to the stage who are guiding their audience through the coming apocalypse and bidding a fond farewell to the late, great, damned and doomed human race. And Ice Factory 2012 will conclude with Jeremy Bloom and Brian Rady’s The Girl of the Golden West (August 1-4), which, absed on David Belasco’s 1911 novel, revolves around what transpires as the only female in the entire Gold Rush town of Cloudy Mountain sets up her saloon.
