Coffee Emporium
Over-the-Rhine 

Written & performed by Sadie Bowman & Donna Kay Yarborough

The Rat Pack is back! Those hip swingers who epitomized mid-century male swagger live on–and face their own music. Forced to broaden their horizons in the bodies of a couple of broads, Frank and Dino ring-a-ding-ding away their time in purgatory examining timeless gender issues via classic songs with new opinions. The Fresno Bee calls it “razor-sharp…blisteringly funny…a MUST-SEE.” From the creators of The Famous Haydell Sisters. 60 minutes.

CFF16: RYAN AND ALICE?

Part of the Cincinnati Fringe Festival ’16
Graydon Head
Over-the-Rhine 

By Libby M. Gardner
Directed by Emma Miller

Cast: Julia Greer & Aaron Lynn

Ryan and Alice weren’t expecting to be trapped in the run-down bathroom at a Louisville apartment party – and they aren’t too thrilled with the situation. Can tales of sex, adolescent humiliation, and giant cream puffs distract them from a doomed attraction? Witty dialogue and honest observation drive this contemporary look at the unexpected strangers who shape our lives. A must-see comedy! 60 minutes.
