'Mercury'

From the event description:

This new play by Steve Yockey, a writer on TV's "Supernatural" is a mash-up of myth, missing empathy and "good neighbors" that explores what happens when the mercury rises. In short, it's a comedy about revenge. Three stories cross outside of Portland, Oregon, and, in each one, no one's happy, people stop being nice and blood spills.
