Geophysical Institute Machine Shop Manager Greg Shipman had a play selected for performance by the Fairbanks Drama Association. Members of the association's board of directors chose Shipman's "It's Just a Number," as one of the best 10-minute plays they recieved during their 8x10 Festival. This mean's Shipman's work will be performed April 13 - 14 at FDA's Riverfront Theater in Fairbanks. 

Shipman provided this brief synopsis of the play:

"Eighty-five-year-old Monroe is in love with his shiny red Porsche and in lust with 41-year-old Marcia, who is neither shiny nor red. His 93-year-old sister, Grace, is in both shock and disbelief. What follows is classic sibling sparring without the hindrance of gloves or referee."
