Tammy Faye Bakker was the sweetheart of Christian TV in the 1970’s and 80’s, until it all came crashing down. As she nears the end of her life, she attempts a comeback. In a fevered dream, she enlists the men in her life to audition for one final TV show. “Tammy Faye’s Final Audition” goes beyond the makeup and the tears to the naked truth.

CFF15: SUCCESSION

Presented as part of the Cincinnati Fringe Festival ’15
Gabriel’s Corner
Over-the-Rhine 

SUCCESSION is rich in texture, intertwining extreme explorations of human behavior while exhibiting raw power mixed with delicate human vulnerability. Ms. Green has thread together segments from her body of solo works to create a life cycle journey. From channeling fluid movements of a fetus in the amniotic sac, to interim life stages, and the immediacy of. Emotions, the cyclical journey continues with a metaphor for transformation, aging, and the disruption of order amidst an installation of hundreds of flowers. Succession concludes in a rite of passion, with a spiritual burial of the past followed by a symbolic rebirth in the planting of oneself. This powerful solo work, executed through cunning sensuality, relies on exposing aspects of the archetypal female, all sourced from the deep recesses of the character’s psyche.

CFF15: SQUARES

Presented as part of the Cincinnati Fringe Festival ’15
SCPA Playground
Over-the-Rhine 

The rules of the playground were simple: play nice, play fair, and have fun. But the rules of life? More complicated. Play nice, and you’re not assertive enough; play fair, and fall behind. And only winners have fun. Sometimes it seems like the bullies are still king. That hardly seems fair, or right, or… American. Can you retake the blacktop and square game, for all of us?

Over-the-Rhine 

Folk and Fairy Tales provide a rich moral tapestry to explore – full of surrealism, magical and ridiculous moments and gory content that make our modern sensibilities uncomfortably tingly. This ensemble devised work uses ancient story content to create an energetic romp into the questionable world of morality and how it has been imposed on us through the cautionary tales of our childhood.
