THE CHRONICLE

THE CHRONICLE
Presented as part of the Cincinnati Fringe Festival ’12 Special Event
Hanke 2
Over-the-Rhine 

Inspired by one of the most popular shows to emerge from the Chicago improv scene, THE CHRONICLE is OTRimprov’s take on the Armando Diaz Experience. The Armando Diaz is long-form improvisation created at improvOlympic Chicago, where a special guest shares personal stories based on an audience suggestion that weave into scenes inspired by their monologues. Featuring 2012 Fringe artists who will peel the onion of their own dysfunction bare their soul, all in the name of improv. OTRi is Know Theatre’s house improv team and member of the Jackson Street Market.

Cincinnati’s True Theatre, now in its second season, continues to sell out every one of their one-night-only shows, advertising only “true stories told by real people” and a theme. Each of their shows (including trueFEAR, trueFOOLISHNESS, trueHUNGER, andtrueLOVE) have drawn storytellers from all walks of life. Last year, True Theatre joined the Festival with trueFRINGE, featuring only storytellers associated with the 2011 Fringe Festival. Back with the same idea, trueFRINGE (2) features 5 storytellers (all artists part of the 2012 festival) sharing true, personal stories that will give you that behind-the-scenes look at life in-and-around the theatre that will make you laugh, cry, and shake your head*. Don’t miss the chance to make your Fringe experience complete with this ONE NIGHT ONLY show! (*Laughing, crying, and head-shaking guaranteed.)

Reviews: Cincinnati Examiner |

Madcap Productions has gathered some of the best puppet slam pieces from around the country for this unique cabaret experience. The growing popularity of puppet slams has given puppeteers license to showcase some of the most brilliant and innovative and sometimes absurd and bizarre pieces of theatre you will ever see. No piece is longer than seven minutes, and each one has been honed and sharpened by previous puppet festivals. Featuring musicians, improv comedians, and a boundless variety of puppets, Madcap has strung together a truly remarkable group of experimental puppeteers. Let your curiosity get the best of you and get strung out on this fringy puppet cabaret!

The direct sequel to last year’s First Book of: The Bible. Featuring all the characters from the original Exodus story, a similar experience has been crafted using anachronisms and awkward situations as the foundation. Short musical numbers also spice up the comedy as well as dig into your mind with hypnotism, causing what’s commonly referred to as, “Ear Worm Syndrome.” The workshop will be directed by Brian Isaac Phillips of the Cincinnati Shakespeare Company.
