Written by Alison Vodnoy Wolf

FRINGE DEVELOPMENT. Russian folklore depicts Baba Yaga as a child-eating crone. But, who was Baba Yaga when she eighteen? What if her energy was eternally alive in our political, familial, and sexual relationships? Travel through space and time to meet Yaga at three different ages, in three different eras and locations. HUNGRY MOTHER explores Baba Yaga as a contemporary archetype, asking: when should we eat and when should we be eaten? Come ready to play Bingo.

First Lutheran Church 1
Over-the-Rhine 

Written by Linnea Jean Bond
Directed by Lindsey Augusta Mercer

Cast: Kaleigh-Brooke Dillingham as Esther, Cal Harris as Dave, Hallie Hargus as Angela, Zach Robinson as Ben, Tracy Schoster as Dr. Taylor, Mia Vera as Helen/Janice & Tara Williams as Catherine/Dr. Mitchell

Haunted by her dark religious upbringing, Esther hears voices that help her separate the world outside from the safety of the world within. When exposing her inner life shatters her fragile stability, the fallout leads her on a journey she can’t control – but perhaps one that will finally give her the freedom she needs to overcome her past.

CFF15: FIXATE

Nast Community UMC
Over-the-Rhine 

Written by Jon Kovach
Directed by Billy Chance

Cast: Rex Martinez as Wesley & Sara Mackie as April

Wesley is desperately trying to overcome his OCD since being dumped due to “poor priorities.” During an episode with his light switch, a stranger named April appears in his apartment; a curious payoff of desires to escape her child-nephew’s birthday party. In effort to understand how they’ve been brought together, Wesley and April reveal more about themselves than either typically would. Through this, “why” they’ve been brought together becomes particularly evident.

CFF15: ESCAPE ROUTES

ESCAPE ROUTES
Presented as part of the Cincinnati Fringe Festival ’15

FRINGENEXT. What could you get if you broke down this wall? This question, among many others, is addressed in the production ESCAPE ROUTES. When promising student and potential valedictorian Clark Jacobsen is forced to pair up on a philosophy project with delinquent slacker Johnny Carter, the pair seems extremely different at first glance. However, as the boys’ friendship grows, it is apparent that the two are not as different as it would seem statistically.
