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?

"Pith and Marrow"

(From Hamlet a1s4)

I love it! I was going to propose using the word "essence" and calling it Dramatic Essences or something. But I love Pith and Marrow: it's short, has a theatrical genesis, and arouses curiosity.
