“Panties On My Head: Real Stories from MN Roller Derby” at the 2014 Fringe Festival: Barely informative or funny

Panties On My Head: Real Stories from MN Roller Derby caught my eye as it was listed as “something different” in the MN Fringe Category. While there were scattered laughs, interesting blocking and a neat concept, I felt the show lacked intention. Was I supposed to be informed about the sport of roller derby as a whole or about what the players went through? I felt it was honestly giving me a half ass taste of both. The plot had no arch or buildup and the ending seemed forced and in your face. I don’t recommend seeing this show unless you are already a big derby fan, however I give kudos for actors on roller blades!
