[sic]

Friday, November 20 at Strand Theater, Baltimore

Stage

Melissa James Gibson's play [Sic] is about nothing, and not in a Jerry Seinfeld what's-the-deal-with-insert-innocuous-everyday-item-here kind of way--though it does have comedic elements. It has no plot to speak of and very little in the way of character development. Hell, the Strand's own description of the play states that it "has received mixed reviews" and is the "strangest play" it's ever done. [Sic] takes place primarily in the hallway of an apartment building as three people go through major life changes. But those big moments are depicted through the mundane, awkward language of everyday life rather than dramatic revelation. See how the Strand fares with it tonight at $5 preview night. [more]
