Onstage @ the Coolidge: MORTIFIED - DOOMED VALENTINES SHOW[views:1167][posts:0]_______________________________________ [Feb 10,2011 1:58am - boblovesmusic ""] Mon, Feb 14 @ 7:30 pm Commiserate and celebrate Valentine’s Day at the Coolidge with Mortified’s Doomed Valentines Show. From starter girlfriends and high-school crushes, to tumultuous off-and-on romances and adolescent “firsts,” the show relives teen angst with cringe-worthy material about juvenile ardor gone wrong (did it ever go right?). Hailed a "cultural phenomenon" by Newsweek, and celebrated for years by the likes of The Today Show, The Onion AV Club, This American Life, and Entertainment Weekly, Mortified is a comic excavation of the strange and extraordinary things we created as kids. Come hear ordinary adults bare their souls as they share their most hilariously embarrassing journals, letters, poems, lyrics, plays, home movies, and art from their tortured adolescence. Ah, the pain, the awkwardness, the necking, the clumsy fumblings – this one is not to be missed. The largest and longest-running project of its kind, Mortified produces comedic content for the stage, the page, and the web. Its latest book, Mortified: Love is a Battlefield, is in stores everywhere. (not sure what to make of this one, but figured people might be amused) |
