‘These were your children; you threw them out and I took them in.’ Charles Manson, Gardener of the Haight, tended to the Flower Children. In a time of free love, why was war their first, last, and only hope? In the shadow of the horrific murders of 1969, Charlie’s Girls explores the space in which the impressionable prey becomes the merciless predator. Join us as we relive the infamous crime and the end of not only the Summer of Love, but the innocence of a nation.

InBocca Performance utilizes experimental theatre methods to create devised works, which build actors’ craft and produce a unique experience for the audience. Actors (ranging in ages from 8 to adulthood) construct their own scenes, choreograph dance segments, and work with diverse musical genres, all under general direction from Caroline Stine. Ms. Stine, a graduate of Highlands High School, received her Bachelor degree from Butler University, and her masters in Contemporary Performance from Naropa University in Boulder, CO. She received theatrical training in Italy and Russia and recently participated in the Crisis Arts Festival in Arezzo, Italy. She is currently teaching at Northern Kentucky University and Notre Dame Academy.
History of the Company
InBocca Performance humbly began as the Cliffview Players in Caroline Stine’s basement in 1997 on Cliffview Avenue. It then moved to her backyard in 1999, and became a main stage company in 2008. Notable past performances for the Ft. Thomas Community Theatre at Highlands High School were Peter Pan in 2008 and Into the Woods in 2010. Caroline began working with young actors to devise theatrical pieces in the summer of 2011 at The Village Players in Ft. Thomas, KY. In 2012, they created The Maid of Orleans an emotionally charged production about Joan of Arc. In the summer of 2013, they created Romeo y Margarita, a story that combined the lyricism of Shakespearean verse with the romance of the Spanish language. Since 2013, they have expanded to create art within the greater Cincinnati area. This includes a sellout production of Swan Lake: A Waking Dream performed at The Southgate House Revival last winter and a piece in the 2015 Cincinnati Fringe Festival, My Twisted Face, which addressed the concept of rape as a part of our society. This winter, they presented a collaboration with Say Yes Dance and Nicole Hershey to create
