Heartland America, post-Katrina: a pair of technicians working for the EPA in New Orleans after the flood discover a survivor who can not only name the chemicals in the water but tell where they come from. With the help of military dolphins, soccer moms and animatronic Indians, and fueled by Farmer Dave’s chili-mac, she leads them up the rivers to find that Katrina has displaced time itself – past and present collide as they retrace Lewis and Clark’s journey only to find the source of the terrible burning in the waters — Farmer Dave himself.

THE SCREW YOU REVUE

Wayburn Sassy is an 89 year old self-proclaimed “Entertainment Legend” and America’s Favorite Bigot. Wayburn fears Blacks, Jews, Hispanics, Japanese, Arabs, Islanders, the Taiwanese, bongo players, men in kilts, and above ALL he fears ” Whimsicals” (Wayburn’s word for Gay Men). Wayburn has the excellent fortune of sharing the stage with his “Amorous Amazon,” his “Leggy Lolita,” his “Girl-with-the-Gorgeous-Gams,” Miss Didi Panache. Didi loves everyone, but she loves Wayburn best. Together, this irreverent twosome transport the audience to a place where no subject is taboo and everyone takes part in the joke.

THE DOPPELGANGER COMETH AND OVERTAKETH

THE DOPPELGANGER COMETH AND OVERTAKETH
Presented as part of the Cincinnati Fringe Festival ’12
Emery Theatre
Over-the-Rhine 

Reviews: CityBeat |

Absurd, modern and fantastical, this play realizes the desire in all of us to forgo and escape our own responsibilities in favor of something a little further down the rabbit hole. Leah summons a doppelganger in order to shirk her responsibilities, only to find herself locked in a cell and being prepared for sacrifice, leaving her friends back home in terrible danger. A demon is involved, as well as some cannibalism (depending on what your rules are). With a semi-interactive set, a visible Twitter feed and local music, this play is exciting, strange and engrossing.

You may remember Kevin J Thornton from previous fringe hits like “Sex, Dreams & Self Control” in 2009 and “I Love You We’re Fucked” in 2011. Now he’s back with his award winning stand-up comedy and music exploring themes of love, sex and the meaning of life! Thornton is a comedian and musician who has been featured on NPR’s All Things Considered and is a New Faces Winner at The Comedy Store in Hollywood. He was also a guest lecturer at UC Berkeley recently. Pretty classy credits for a guy who’s made a career of juvenile dick jokes.
