Laced with cooking classes, swimming lessons, and a smorgasbord of illegal drugs, Jack Goes Boating is a story of date panic, marital meltdown, and the prevailing grace of the human spirit.  To get tickets for just $13, visit www.TheSeeingPlace.com and on the ticketing page, enter the discount code FRIEND01.
