Calling Something By Its Proper Silly Name

There are some shows that had me at, "Hello" - that hello being their very peculiar names. Sometimes they're outright nutty, sometimes they're just intriguing. Sometimes it's the name of the show, sometimes the name of its makers. To wit...

1.
Bette, My Fraudulent Welfare Queen: A Comic Bluegrass Opera In One Act

at the Brave New Workshop

2.
The company, Texas Red Liquid Players
The play, Better Being Bad
The place, Hey City Theater Upstairs

3.
James Berry, The Reluctant Hangman
Topsy-Turvy Theater
Hey City Theater, Downstairs

4.
The company, Fifty Foot Penguin Theater
The play, War Golems
The place, Loring Playhouse

and finally...

5.
Swing This: A Professor, an Orangutan and 15 Dancers
Rhythmn & Swing
In The Heart of the Beast Puppet Theater

Just five examples of oddities that say so right up front, and then dare you to look away.

Could be fun. Some of them will definitely find their way onto my final schedule. Always remember, a silly name will never hurt you at the Fringe Festival. Catching someone's attention is half the battle.
