As part of WaterTower Theater's annual Out of the Loop Fringe Festival, the Black Artists Collective presented three "play shorts" which included one elongated sketch, a two-person scene, and a one-act play, for two performances.
”The World's Greatest Game Show Ever,” a cable quiz show, consisted of a white hyped-up host, three hyper, buzzer- pressing contestants--two black males and a white female--and a hapless scorekeeper. The premise is: "Does a white suburban housewife know more about black trivia than black people?" This is not a play so much as a 30-minute sketch that runs 25 minutes too long. The sketch does have a comic ending. Would that the other 25 minutes could have been as funny. Director, Arlishia Cornist, does the best she can with this awful script.
