A returning Fringe fave, Sorority Girls should have been force-screened to the Wayans Brothers before they spoofed the horror genre in Scary Movie and its terrifyingly bad sequel. This is all the ammo they needed, as five local university students remind us that horror films are already effective self-parody. With rousing song-and-dance numbers such as There's a Severed Head in the Toilet Bowl, and I Feel Like a Walk in the Basement ... Alone, the musical plumbs the depths of bad taste -- with hilarious results. Strong performances by all four sorority girls -- the slutty one Sonya Oliveira, the ditzy one Vanessa Peristy, the bossy one Heather Madill Jordan and the conflicted one Quyen Raceles -- are counterbalanced beautifully by hopeless Alvin, played by Ian Mikita. This will be a hot ticket by the end of the week, even in the spacious Prairie Theatre Exchange.
