Death meets his match in Mrs. Fischer, a tenacious granny not ready to breathe her last. In this acclaimed work of imagination and whimsy, an aging grandmother confronts the question that we all must face: what is it to know your end is nigh? Can you ignore it? Can you escape it? Can you hit Death in the face with a frying pan? The recipient of four Best of Fest awards and named a “Fringe treasure”, “utter magic” and an “absolute must-see.” Watch as one woman’s fight for survival takes fantastical flight in a showdown with Death himself!

What’s behind the female facade? This dramatic collection of monologues attempts to uncover the truth of the complex female mind. Witness women grapple with modern day issues of love, lust, sexuality, religion and immigration as they give voice to their deepest insecurities and boldest desires. Every story is as intricate and unique as the woman behind it.

DON’T CROSS THE STREAMS: THE CEASE AND DESIST MUSICAL

DON’T CROSS THE STREAMS: THE CEASE AND DESIST MUSICAL

Reviews: CityBeat | Enquirer | Cincinnati Examiner | Behind the Curtain |

A popular early 80’s film about ghosts and the people who bust them is receiving a stage musical adaptation by a local theatre. When their world is shattered by a “cease and desist” letter from the lawyers of Columbia Pictures, the cast and crew give the show a new title, make delirious changes to an increasingly unrecognizable script and recruit a handsomely clueless soap opera actor to play the role of Peter Venkman. Silly string ion streams and a softshoe dance battle rule the day in a madcap theatrical farce a la NOISES OFF and Waiting for Guffman.

Written by Mike Hall and Joshua Steele
Directed by Michael Sherman
Music Direction by Steve Milloy

Cast: Nathan Noerr, Rodger Pille, Tom Highley, Sean Mette, Emma Greer, Phillip Webster, Christopher Stewart, Lauren Carr, Cameron Jamarr Davis, Randy Bailey & Steve Milloy

Splashy and charming seasoned Fringers, Psophonia Dance Company, return bearing treats for the eyes and the ears in their latest production, Delicious. In true Psophonia style, directors Noreiga and Torres unwrap a series of mini dances inspired by an eclectic collection of pictures, sound bites, text, props and musical interludes. What is delicious? In Psophonapolis it is a smorgasbord of colorful dancing characters serving your senses with strong neon visuals, luscious poetry, witty wordplay, and amusing songs, like Peter Percival’s Pet Pig Named Porky. Come take a taste of Delicious, a delectable delight ready to bite!
