CFF15: SQUARES

SCPA Playground
Over-the-Rhine 

The rules of the playground were simple: play nice, play fair, and have fun. But the rules of life? More complicated. Play nice, and you’re not assertive enough; play fair, and fall behind. And only winners have fun. Sometimes it seems like the bullies are still king. That hardly seems fair, or right, or… American. Can you retake the blacktop and square game, for all of us?

Folk and Fairy Tales provide a rich moral tapestry to explore – full of surrealism, magical and ridiculous moments and gory content that make our modern sensibilities uncomfortably tingly. This ensemble devised work uses ancient story content to create an energetic romp into the questionable world of morality and how it has been imposed on us through the cautionary tales of our childhood.

CFF15: SHELTER

Presented as part of the Cincinnati Fringe Festival ’15
Gabriel’s Corner
Over-the-Rhine 

A theater/dance mashup, Shelter is a collaboration between Pones Inc. (Traffick, 2014 Cincy Fringe Full Frontal and Producer’s Pick, as well as League of Cincinnati Theatre’s Fringe Favorite) and Queen City Flash (Slut Shaming, 2014 Cincy Fringe Artists’ Pick). At the end of the world, a teenage couple seek refuge in a backyard fallout shelter. As lights flicker and sirens blare, their internment reveals the cracks between them and their reliance on each other. They soon discover that survival isn’t what you escape, but what you bring with you.

CFF15: RADIO GOMORRAH LIVE!

CFF_Radio Gomorrah LiveRADIO GOMORRAH LIVE!
Presented as part of the Cincinnati Fringe Festival ’15
Nast Community UMC
Over-the-Rhine 

Written by John Ray

Directed by Michael Burnham & Paul Morris
Produced by Ramona Toussaint

Cast: Daniel C. Britt, Wendy E. Braun, Mel Hatch Douglas, Keisha L. Kemper, John Ray, Dan Robertson,
Glenn Schaich, Ramona Toussaint, Don Volpenheim & Derek Snow

It’s the future: Ecosystems in collapse. The One-Percent cavorts in Mercedes escape pods while the rest of us – enslaved by our micro-chip implants – roast rats over toxic waste fires. Only three people can save humanity: a foul-mouthed social dropout, a pathologically cheerful religious fanatic, and a Cyber-Babe with a past. It’s a radio serial, live on stage, with the audience as sound-effects artists. It’s Radio Gomorrah LIVE! It’s the future. Ooops.

Vacancy: Sarah. Applications are now being taken for the above name. We wonder if you can help us decide who she is and who will get the job. This award winning group brings a piece of devised, interactive theatre exploring identity and what makes us, us.
