One that I helped put together in NYC in the mid-70s. It was by a recent Israeli writer-director who featured himself and his wife naked on stage in front of two huge cardboard columns decorated as penises and a gigantic mock mons pubis. The dialog was incoherent because their lines were mostly Hebrew gibberish, and I have no idea what it was supposed to be about. I built the "set" and did lights and sound. It was completely ridiculous. Must add that I was volunteered to do this by my actress girlfriend - none of it was my idea.

The Mystery of Irma Vep... It's Vampire (anagramicaly!!!) One of those dreadful shows where two actors play several characters. It was like a bad Saturday Night Live sketch that wouldn't end.

"Little Shop of Horrors" - which actually had some redeeming value... and "Grease" which i found pointless ... but had some good songs. Thanks to the miracle of High School drama departments, I have seen both multiple times, have applauded loudly, and will probably see them again ... along with "Bye Bye Birdie," "The Crucible," and "Our Town." By the way, back in the day (72 or so), I forgot about 2 pages of lines as Danforth in "The Crucible" and just made them up. That one might have made someone's list. :)
