Drugs / Theater Now Playing: Transition
Posted by Brendan Kiley on Thu, Oct 15, 2009 at 3:24 PM
Reggie Watts and Tom Smith are two sometime Seattle boys who've moved to NYC and have returned to us bearing Transition.
From this week's theater calendar:
"Reggie Watts is a musician/comedian whose standup is more like verbal performance art—he makes quantum imaginative leaps, invents languages and false histories, he beatboxes and sings and speaks gibberish that sounds intelligent. Listening to him, you can feel new synapses hatching in your brain. Tommy Smith is a wickedly smart and sometimes sardonic playwright who writes cutting scripts about sex, politics, and varieties of power. They both have an affection for goofy jokes, high concepts, pop culture, A/V technology, and modern dance. When their brains rub up against each other, sparks fly up your nose and down your pants." (Brendan Kiley)

I'm not saying you must get stoned before seeing the show. I'm just saying it wouldn't hurt.
