Art Academy Auditorium
Over-the-Rhine

Jim Loucks returns to the Cincy Fringe with his new rollicking solo performance. Based loosely on his childhood, The Biscuiteater is told in Loucks’ distinctive Southern storytelling style with songs and humor. Granddaddy was his hero, a big man with a bigger personality, haunted by demons from his days as Chief of Police in small-town Georgia. A moving tribute to an imperfect hero. Loucks’ previous show Cemetery Golf was a “Critic’s Pick” by the Cincinnati CityBeat. 60 minutes.

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.
