STORMS BENEATH HER SKIN

Reviews: CityBeat | Enquirer | Behind the Curtain |

PSST! Hey! The person standing next to you, are they a boy or a girl? What about you? Are you a boy or a girl? You can only pick one, obviously, and you had better get it right. I’m transgender, which complicates things. This show is about that – my identity and experience as a transgender woman – but it’s about other things, too: apologies, surgery, the equations of sex, the weather (metaphorically speaking), boobs, and more. (PS — Not to brag or anything, but I’ve been described as “charming” and “smart” by the Chicago Tribune. No big deal.)

Meet Rodney Rumple, everyhuman. Really, you will want to meet him. Experience his life, his unflappable spirit, his daily grind — his dreams. This physical theatre modern fable, created by the ensemble cast, explores human existence through the story of one boy — he sallies forth — life, in all its joy and horror, ensues. He sallies forth again. A story told with love, pain and laughter.

QUAKE: A Closet Love Story

QUAKE: A Closet Love Story
Presented as part of the Cincinnati Fringe Festival ’12
Hanke 1
Over-the-Rhine 

Reviews: Enquirer | CityBeat | Behind the Curtain |

Joe and Hannah just broke up. Now they have to divide up years’ worth of collective belongings. But when a huge earthquake hits, they find themselves trapped in a storage closet. Can being confined to such a small space help mend the rift between them? With only each other to rely on, they learn about love and reconciliation, and belt out a cappella songs. Touching, physical and funny!

Directed by Jim Stump

Cast: Justin Baldwin & Lara Miller

ON HER PILLOW

In 1977 it was cool to be a multi-racial family if you lived in San Francisco, or New York…but we lived in Addyston, Oh. Not cool…and NOT O.K. Then my parents gave me the name Honour Pillow because I wasn’t going to stand out enough as the only curly headed, biracial giant at my school. Now I was a curly headed, biracial giant named Honour Pillow. Geesh. No ordinary life could follow this beginning. I would become a Model in New York, a Comedienne in Chicago, and a Cancer Patient in Las Vegas. Being biracial was the least of my worries.
