What's in a name?

[lillibet]

I'm in the process of proposing that Theatre@First should do a series of staged readings in 2010. At the moment my working title is Bare Bones: Staged Readings at Theatre@First. Some people hate this name, but no one's come up with something better.

The objections are that it promises too little, that the name needs to get across that it's an intense and deep way to experience a play. I was thinking simple, spare, reduced to it's core.

Got a better idea?

Yeah, I like this idea. Something like "In the Raw: Staged Readings at Theatre@First".

"In the Raw" is very nice.

I like that too. I had been thinking "Naked Theatre" but this captures is a little less... misleadingly :)

I'm not sure it does, frankly! I would totally think it meant Naked Theatre if I saw this advertised under this title. :-}

I was thinking of something like "Naked Words".
