ON THE FRINGE: Sneak-peek Boat Hole party and Bad Poetry Slam tonight!

POSTED: Wednesday, August 18, 2010, 4:00 PM

Have you started filling up your Fringe dance card yet? We know, it's overwhelming. We've had our eye on Josh McIlvain's short-play bonanza, Boat Hole, for a while now, and we're happy to hear he's hosting a preview/"FUNdraiser" (get it?) tonight at Plays & Players' third-floor bar, Quigs Pub (which we didn't know had a name until just now). According to the press release, which opens with an amazing "fill the hole" pun, guests can expect $2 Lagers, a cash bar and free snacks, plus the opportunity to watch some preview performances and read your own bad poetry, if you dare. (I wrote a poem about the kitchen sink once in the ninth grade — that was pretty bad.) Here's some info on Boat Hole from the Fringe website: Boat Hole brings together 15 of Josh McIlvain's funniest and most popular short plays as well as world premiÃ¨res. Starring some of Philly's best comedic actors, expect smart, edgy and completely outrageous humor. And a sleazy clown in the lobby. And, Josh reminds us, even if you can't attend, you can donate anyway, since "the hole is really big." Heyo! Wed., Aug. 18, 7-9 p.m., $10, Quigs Pub, Plays & Players Theater, 1714 Delancey St., Third Floor, ticketleap.net. Boat Hole runs Sept. 15-18, 7 p.m., $15, Performance Garage, 1515 Brandywine St., 215-413-1318, livearts-fringe.org.
