Those wacky Victorians are tackled by the Pima Community College Theater Department tonight as "Cloud 9" opens. The play, by Caryl Churchill, takes an inventive, surrealistic look at sexual roles, traveling from the British Colonialism of Africa in the 1880s to the freaky relations happening in London circa 1983. "An array of dramatic styles and tricks" is promised. "Cloud 9" runs Nov. 6-8 and 13-15, with performances at 8 p.m. and a matinee Nov. 9 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $7, $4 for students. Call 206-6988 for more information.
