Easy Targets

I saw both the men's and women's night of this production, and they were both an absolute blast. These shows are cathartic, in a couple of ways. First, I haven't laughed so hard in a long time. My face hurt. Second, you get to throw socks at the performers, while they perform the best of the worst one-person shows. So, if you've ever felt the need to punish a terrible one-person performer, or you just need to get out a little stress, there's nary a better way to do it. But backing up...when I say "worst" one-person shows, know that these are designed to be bad. They are performed by 8 of the most fearless, talented and hilarious actors. They barely bat an eye as literally hundreds of socks are being hurled at them. I cannot recommend ... full review

Ever wanted to throw something at a Republican congressman spurting right-wing platitudes, but you were worried about federal prosecution/ RWNJ harassment/ opening an FBI file? Scott Golden gives you an epic opportunity in the final segment of “America First,” the evening of EASY TARGETS devoted to male characters. The Burglers of Hamm serve up some fat bullseyes for communal sock throwing with game performances from Hugo Armstrong, Albert Dayan, Jon Beauregard and Golden. This production is a very welcome purgative for everyone who’s had to sit through a truly awful one person show.... full review

Tired of all the political rhetoric emanating from your TV screen and radio? How about all that stupid spewing from someone's mouth and feeling powerless because you just can't do anything physical—or even verbal—to make it ALL just stop?! Want to get that pent up aggression out of your system due to said stupidity and rhetoric? Well "Easy Targets" at Sacred Fools is here for you.... full review

I was having a crappy week when I saw the women's show, and I have not laughed that hard in AGES! I REALLY needed that. In addition to the healing laughter, there is something really cathartic about hurling socks at people--and something really cool, communal and shared about the experience! I subsequently dragged friends to the men's show and they loved it just as much as I did. Seriously--MUST SEE!!!... full review

Brilliant. Original. Zany. Cathartic. Roman.... full review

After several weeks of intensive theatrical experiences, this is the perfect catharsis. Take out all your passive aggressions on those hackneyed, egocentric, overdone tics and build muscle at the same time!... full review

Ultimately, Easy Targets is more immersive than some of the shows billing themselves as immersive this year. Putting socks in the hands of the audience adds a layer of humor that works in perfect contrast to the shocking words on stage. The talent of the actors, writers, and directors provides a focal point for our hatred and accomplishes what any good theater aims for: to make the audience feel. And boy do we feel; we feel with every single throw. And we buy more socks during the break to feel some more. When that one perfect throw smacks the actor right across the face, catharsis is achieved and we leave the show feeling both accomplished and a little lighter.
