Writer/actress Sarah King knows crazy: she spent two years working for Chicago's most outrageous export, The Jerry Springer Show. But she also knows that there are levels of crazy — or at least two major types. In her frenetic one-woman performance (recently extended through May 30), King asks audiences to decide which kind she is. The show weaves a loose narrative around her decision to donate eggs to her sister through a variety of sketches — including a tongue-in-cheek interview with her parents in Texas, and a bit starring "Mama Truth," a spoken-word diva bent on being the star of open-mic night.
