This Weekend in Mill Valley: July 28-31

Thursday-Sunday:

is a hilarious tale of greed, corruption, love and revolution in a time when water is worth its weight in gold. In a Gotham-like city, a terrible water shortage caused by a 20-year drought has led to a government enforced ban on private toilets. A hero decides he's had enough and plans a revolution to lead them all to freedom.
