The Sh!t Show: An Original Turd

The Talentless Lumps—John Hirsch Theatre at the MTC Mainstage

It starts out very silly, but as my father once told me, nobody ever says anything 100 percent in jest. Knowing that helps a lot in appreciating this show.

I can see why after a few minutes some people might think “this is very juvenile” and tune it out. That would be a mistake: a mistake that some reviewers made. If you have the patience to watch what you are seeing, and keep asking yourself what it all might mean, there’s a great payoff.

As my father used to say, you get out of life what you put into it.
