Fringe 2009 - FFA 1 - The Mutant Squad!

"I love you."
"What?!"
"Nothing."

First on the Fringe-For-All 1 (FFA 1) hit parade,

Youth Performance Company's

The Mutant Squad!

Get your chainsaw and fight along side Axl, Walter, Winona, and Po as they crush mutant skulls with more style than Macaulay Culkin. Who knew the summer of '93 was so rad?!

This preview mostly consisted of a kind of adorably awkward rap about monsters and puberty. Lots of bravado from characters that folded like a house of cards at the slightest pushback. A last minute cameo by an brigt orange-skinned mutant. I'm a big fan of Youth Performance Company's work in general, so I'm willing to sit back and watch them be this weird. Among the Teen Fringe crowd, they're always a safe bet for quality product.

And they got it all done during the green light period of the first 2-1/2 minutes of their allotted three. Nice way to kick off the evening.
