Mini Review
THE POWER OF IGNORANCE - Popular Fringe performer Chris Gibbs plays Vaguen, a self-styled master ignoramus who preaches the importance of ignorance in our lives. There are some funny bits -- notably the riddles of ignorance and whether or not to teach your dog to play Monopoly -- but too much, surprisingly, falls flat. Gibbs is an ingratiating performer, but the material in his previous shows has been better. NN (JK)
