RHINOFEST 2012 is Setting the World on Fire

Intelligent, funny, and packed with a medley of pop-culture and literature, the current production of writer Megan Lang and director Cortney Philip’s sci-fi comedy about bad poetry “World on Fire” is at the Prop Theater and it’s setting the stage on fire.

The use of space and transitions between scenes was very groovy. One of the best 5-6 second scene in a play is a quarter in when introduced to The Captains Time Machine. The acting well executed and well suited for their roles, most notably The Captain played by Tommy Hefron. What’s most engaging though are the lines usually coming out of moments of static which somehow makes it the more funnier. “But who will edit Harry Putter?” was by far my favorite line which was pleasantly snuck between one of the more dramatic scenes of the play.

There’s one more show left Saturday, February 11 at 1 p.m. and at the price of 15 smackaroos or pay what you can this is easily a good way to spend your Saturday. Emphasis on ‘pay what you can': I paid with two Twizzlers and a Cliff bar wrapper.
