CFF16: WE DID IT, GIRL!

Art Academy Studio
Over-the-Rhine

Written by Kevin Crowley
Featuring Kevin Crowley & Torie Wiggins

Our goal with We Did It, Girl! is the eradication of racism in America by the end of our run. Anything else is a waste of time. You might also laugh, cry, sing along and find yourself utterly horrified by the end and that’s ok too. But we’ve got no more time for broad assumptions and lazy generalizations about people who are different and so we are putting a stop it here and now. Enjoy. 45 minutes.

The creators of Edgar Allan (recipient of the 2015 Full Frontal Pick of the Fringe) return with a gothic rock opera inspired by the notorious 1978 interview with necrophile Karen Greenlee. “The musical staging is endlessly inventive, Katie Hartman’s voice is a remarkable instrument.” -Minnesota Playlist. 50 minutes.
