As a frequent reader and occasional poster, I thought I'd pass this along.

From the site:
Part improvisational theater, part rock & roll cabaret, part audience participation, The Ego & The Oracle is a live stage spectacular where "Ouija Board meets iPod Shuffle".
Audience members are invited on stage to ask personal questions of The Oracle. They then spin a giant wheel containing songs by Boston band, Jim's Big Ego.
When the wheel stops, the band spontaneously performs the chosen song, which afterward is interpreted as the answer to the question. The outcome can be humorous or moving, often both at once.
The Ego & The Oracle is a show about synchronicity and it's hard to experience it without getting the sense that the universe is not only in tune, but that it also has a great sense of rhythm.
