Brain Chemistry for Lovers considers the stages of a relationship (Lust, Attraction, Attachment, and Rejection), connects them to the brain chemicals occurring in each stage (Dopamine, Seratonin, and Oxytocyn, among others) – and then expresses each through familiar selections of American popular song.  Come see the latest incarnation of this multimedia show featuring new video from media artist  Jim Blashfield. $10 Cover.
