A collaborative effort combining talent from Cripple Creek and Goat in the Road Productions, Major Swelling was presented first at the New Orleans Fringe Festival and then enjoyed a thoroughly sold-out second run a month later. It was said to cure “Apathy, Corruption, Greed, Dysentery, Sore Throat, Poverty, Hunger, Consumption, Anger, Cynicism, Nervousness, Vague Paranoia and Death by Rejuvenating the Blood. ”

Times-Pic: “An exuberant, audacious mini-musical…”
