Werewolves, Mafia, and puns in The Free Finge, 5/9/2012

[Roy Janik]

Here's the crazy plan for this week's Fringe. Between a pun-centric show and a narrative based on a party game, it's an extra geeky Free Fringe.

Full Moon Rises, produced by Zac Grantham

There is a party game called Mafia. It’s popular among geeks.

There is a variation of that game with werewolves instead of mafia.

Essentially people are either werewolves or villagers. Every night, the werewolves kill one villager. During the day, the villagers (and werewolves) investigate and kill one person they think is a werewolf. This repeats and eventually either all the villagers die or the werewolves are killed.

The Fringe version is set in a late 17th century New England village. The performers randomly draw cards to assign roles to people. The scenes take place during the day as people try to determine who the werewolves are.

Murder! Supernatural intrigue! Suspense! Improv!

The Pun Show, produced by Peter Rogers

The annual O’Henry Pun Off is coming on May 19th.

Improvisers traditionally clean up at the event, which consists of competitive punning. To prepare, Peter Rogers is putting together a show which will feature nothing but puns. It’ll be groan-inducing, but impressive.

You’ll laugh, you’ll cringe, you’ll find it un-bearable. Which, if you’re a bear, is a pun.

Firth&Arjet present their new format: Tomboys
It can be tough growing up as a girl who prefers trucks over dolls, getting dirty over being pretty, and adventure over politeness. It’s a lot easier with a friend who likes that stuff just as much as you. They might get into trouble but that won’t stop them, even as they get older.

“The show was original, interesting, and hilarious. I’d book them again anytime.” — Yvonne Landry, Theater Owner / Festival Producer, New Orleans

And if there is one thing the Internet is good for, it’s bringing together like-minded people, then convincing them that their opinion is the only valid one in existence.
