We create. We listen. We choose. We make small scenes with strict rules. We make plays with invented rules. We do this in front of an audience. When we do it well (and we always do it well), you laugh. And laugh. And laugh. Voted best Improv Troupe in Cincinnati in 2014 and 2015 by the readers of CityBeat, you owe it to yourself to see what happens when OTRimprov takes the stage. 60 minutes.

August and Violet, two cosmically drawn, generally dissatisfied high school seniors, are sucked into a memory wasteland containing neglected moments from their pasts. They are forced to confront their histories in order to come to terms with who they have become. They grapple with the concept of trust as they relive past harms ranging from religious condemnation to volatile family dynamic. The ultimatum: reconcile with their pasts, or never reenter the physical world. 60 minutes.

Hale is just trying to get through life. Things aren’t perfect (they rarely ever are), but Kenric complicates things even further. Seen, but not Touched is a show that focuses on the toxic relationship between the two and explores the way interactions that are seemingly innocent can have lasting impacts on all those they touch. Join Hale as he tries to define these connections and see if he can withstand all that is attached to them. 50 minutes.

Some things in life are just too absurd to be taken seriously. Like high school, for example. It’s a delicate juggling of Calculus homework, master prank heists, lightsaber battles, and a wish and a prayer that the FAFSA comes out in your favour. Digital Middleground presents a satirical peek at one week in the life of five high school students; homework, heist, and lightsabers included. 60 minutes.
