When you’ve already written and produced a show named one of the “10 Essentials at the Live Arts Festival and Philly Fringe” by Philadelphia Weekly, what do you do for a follow-up? That’s just one of the questions “Inside the Writer’s Mind” poses to Josh McIlvain, writer and director of “Deer Head: yet another – though equally hilarious and perhaps even more so as the first two – evening of outrageous short comedies,” part of the 2011 Fringe Festival.

“Deer Head” runs Wed., Sept. 14-Sat., Sept. 17 at the Performance Garage, 1515 Brandywine St., Philadelphia. For tickets and information, visit http://smokeyscout.com/ or http://ticketing.theatrealliance.org/sites/livearts/details.aspx?id=19848.
