Who's thirsty?

Thirst Theater embarks on another performance season tonight–this time at a new venue, Jitter’s. If you don’t know what Thirst is, it’s basically a program of little playlets by local writers, as performed by card-carrying union actors. And the brains behind the deal is none other than Alan Berks, the writerly fella responsible for this year’s very well written Fringe Festival hit, How To Cheat. Here’s something to ponder: I suspect that Thirst is part of a larger movement to take some sorts of professional theater out of the more expensive and, in some instances, intimidating traditional performance venues, in favor of putting on shows in more communal spots where a girl can more easily get a drink!
