ON THE FRINGE: Lickety Skits

POSTED: Tuesday, September 6, 2011, 4:00 PM

Only a few of these short plays (20 in 90 minutes) have actual stories, like Alex Dremann’s Skank by Proxy, or are genuinely clever, like Mark Harvey Levine’s The Order and Jeremy Gable’s Digital Verite. Most are ideas minus dramatic action, like What Can We ..., a masturbatory musing about what a five-minute play can do (hint: more than this) and The Cock Robin Porn Shop, oodles of naughty bird puns that don’t fly. One, despite Jessie Holder’s committed performance and hot dress, provides all in its title: “If Paris Hilton Wrote Poetry.”

Through Sept. 17, $15, Second Stage at the Adrienne, 2030 Sansom St. MORE INFO HERE.
