Untethered Theater Ends 2012/2013 Season With LOVE/STORIES

UTC_LoveStoriesUntethered Theater Company is thrilled to present LOVE/STORIES (or, BUT YOU WILL GET USED TO IT) July 12-27, 2013. The production stars Carter Bratton, Christopher Dooley, Leah Strasser, MaryKate Moran and Stephen Geering. Directed by Paul Morris—director of Untethered’s praised production of RED LIGHT WINTER in January. Written by Itamar Moses.

The show marks the end of the first full season for the fresh young collective.

LOVE/STORIES features five deceptively simple one-act plays about what men, women—and even actors—want. As is often the case with love, here, nothing is what it seems. An interview with a Russian director becomes an altercation. A play is stripped down to basic subtext and rebuilt as something else entirely. A writer must swallow his pride to meet the man who took his place. Through it all, there’s that universal truth about love: it hurts, but you will get used to it.

Performances are:

  • July 12 @ 8pm
  • July 13 @ 8pm
  • July 18 @ 8pm
  • July 19 @ 8pm
  • July 20 @ 8pm
  • July 21 @ 7pm
  • July 25 @ 8pm
  • July 26 @ 8pm
  • July 27 @ 8pm 

All shows are at the Clifton Performance Theatre (404 Ludlow Avenue). Tickets are $18 at the door or $15 in advance at untetheredtheaterco.com or by calling 513.939.0599.

About Untethered Theater
Untethered Theater is an actor-driven collective creating intimate theater. Untethered pulls from within its ensemble to produce, act, and more, but also reaches out to local artists to collaborate. It staged Apartment 3A by Jeff Daniels in April and Red Light Winter by Adam Rapp in January, both to much acclaim. In May, Red Light Winter won a League of Cincinnati Theatres award for Best Actress and the Audience Award for Best Play. They are a resident company at the Clifton Performance Theatre (www.cliftonperformancetheatre.com).
