    AWARDED BEST OF FEST @ BOULDER INTERNATIONAL FRINGE FESTIVAL 2008 Written by TJ Dawe and Rita Bozi Starring Gemma Wilcox & Sam Elmore Directed by Elizabeth Baron This Relationship is in the Cards...literally! 52 cards in a deck. 52 scenes about a couple's relationship. The title of each scene is written on a card. At the start of the show the deck is shuffled and tossed in the air. The actors pick up the cards one at a time, which determines the playing order of the scenes. The story: Very simple. They meet, they fall in love, they fall out of love, they break up. But with this concept you might see them break up before they meet. You might see the first kiss following an arguement, or a bed scene before their second date! Never the Same Show Twice! Well, it's very unlikely! The odds of two performances of 52 Pick-Up ever having the scenes in the same order are 1 in 80 658 175 170 943 878 571 660 636 856 403 766 975 289 505 440 883 277 824 000 00 000 000. More or less. Although this number is outrageously big, it is real. The formula for finding the maximum number of variations in a deck of 52 cards is 52 x 51 x 50 x 49 x 48 x 47... all the way down to x 3 x 2 x 1. The scientific notation for it is "52!" How will the cards fall when you see the show? VENUE: Salvage Vanguard Theater (2803 Manor Rd / Austin, Texas 78722)
