In the spirit of the Great Recession, this year brings not a Top 10 but a high five. Condolences to "The Drowsy Chaperone" (Super Summer Theatre) "Bedroom Farce" (LV Little Theatre), "Zoo Story" (RagTag Entertainment), "Noises Off" (NV Conservatory Theatre) and "Theodora, She-Bitch of Byzantium" (Onyx Theatre), all of which missed out by the narrowest of margins, as the mask of tragedy eclipsed that of comedy. "Zoo Story"'s omission was arguably the most capricious: With a pair of 'two-handers' topping the list, there wasn't room for a third. And there ought to be a special kudo for Erica Griffin's one-two punch of black comedy ... "Casa de Nada" (Fringe Festival), which uncannily foreshadowed Occupy Wall Street, and her pocket masterpiece on genital mutilation, "That Atrocious Tradition" (Theatre7). She's got another play brewing and I, for one, can scarcely wait.
