WHITE PRIVILEGE tells the story of a middle-age white man and what it took to finally wake him from his privileged slumber. A hard humorous look at racial bias, and the uncomfortable conversation that White America needs to start having with itself.

CFF17: WHERE THERE WERE WOODS

CFF_Where There Were WoodsWHERE THERE WERE WOODS
Part of the Cincinnati Fringe Festival ’17
Memorial Hall Studio
Over-the-Rhine

Written and performed by Samara Lerman

What happens when your family lineage stops with you? What happens to the stories and memories of generations past? When the ghost of her grandmother starts visiting her at night, Samara is compelled to travel through interwoven family stories of survival. Where There Were Woods is a train-hopping, border-crossing story of danger, adventure, magic, loss, and the power of storytelling.

CFF17: WHAT SHE FOUND THERE

CFF_What She Found ThereWHAT SHE FOUND THERE
Part of the Cincinnati Fringe Festival ’17
Memorial Hall Ballroom
Over-the-Rhine

Directed by Caroline Stine

Cast: Brandi Botkin, Amanda Miller, Kate Crotty, Ellie Conniff, Kellyn Dolezal, Ashley Morton & Caroline Stine

WHAT SHE FOUND THERE, a young woman opens the bloody chamber of her husband’s secrets. Will she suffer the fate of the wives that came before her? In this retelling of the French fairy tale of Bluebeard, we examine the danger in asking for what you have been shown you may not have and what happens when a woman shatters the masculine world of power with her refusal to obey the rules forced upon her. Note: This play is NOT for children.

CFF17: TOTALLY UNTRUE STORIES – TOTALLY UNLIKE ANY NOCTURNAL FLYING INSECT

CFF_Totally Untrue StoriesTOTALLY UNTRUE STORIES – TOTALLY UNLIKE ANY NOCTURNAL FLYING INSECT
Part of the Cincinnati Fringe Festival ’17

Written and performed by Bil Lepp

TOTALLY UNTRUE STORIES – TOTALLY UNLIKE ANY NOCTURNAL FLYING INSECT: I lie. I started telling stories at the West Virginia Liars’ Contest. You can see why I’m chagrined that the sort of storytelling sweeping the nation is all about the Truth. Who cares about the Truth? I mean, there’s a time and a place for Truth, but in storytelling? Storytelling is about Truths- eternal, ephemeral, spiritual, societal- but that doesn’t mean it has to be true.
