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

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.

THE MONSTER SONGS
Part of the Cincinnati Fringe Festival ’17
Coffee Emporium
Over-the-Rhine

Dr. Dour pours forth tales both horrible and wondrous in a torrent of musical stylings. And Peach helps. Together they deliver never-before-told tales of lovesick mummies, giant lizards, bargain-hunting zombies, and other hapless creatures of the night in a cabaret cocktail of original songs. The mysterious is scrutinized. The strange is eternalized. And the dangerous is epitomized in song. Dr. Dour (vocals, 10-string touch-guitar) and Peach (cello, banjo, cute) elucidate all.
