TALES FROM MOM’S CRYPT III–DON’T LOOK IN TIFF’S MIRROR!, Corn Productions, at the Cornservatory. Robert Bouwman and Todd Schaner’s drag creations return once again to host an evening of “hot and nasty” stories in the latest installment of the ongoing adventures of the suburban mother-daughter duo Tiff and Mom. Tales From Mom’s Crypt III opens promisingly enough with Bouwman and Schaner sniping at each other throughout the introduction. But aside from a goofy riff on ‘N Sync and Britney Spears (which imagines the prefab teen pop sensations as slave laborers in a Sweeney Todd-esque meat-pie factory), the first act’s spooky tales are marred by clunky stagings and poor executions. And a rather tasteless segment about John Wayne Gacy doesn’t mesh well with the show’s otherwise lighthearted bits.
