When Audrey grew up dreaming of a job in her favorite comedy theater, this is not what she had in mind. Phone call after phone call, she is reminded that her potential is not being met, her goals are not being accomplished, and her fellow human beings are truly not very kind or intelligent. If only they would leave her alone long enough to prepare for auditions, write her Oscar acceptance speech or, at the very least, finish her peanut butter sandwich.

When a shockingly self obsessed girl moves to a small town, a wealthy vampire and an often shirtless Mummy vie for her attention. Unsure of what draws them to her, they soon learn that she is a “Job Creator” — A rare breed of human that, through sheer random circumstance, has stumbled into having enough wealth to set her aside from the common rabble of ninety-nine percent of humanity. But as the shallow love triangle churns to an angst ridden eventuality, a powerful secret cabal of hedge-fund managers seeks to wreak havoc on her funds.

Heartland America, post-Katrina: a pair of technicians working for the EPA in New Orleans after the flood discover a survivor who can not only name the chemicals in the water but tell where they come from. With the help of military dolphins, soccer moms and animatronic Indians, and fueled by Farmer Dave’s chili-mac, she leads them up the rivers to find that Katrina has displaced time itself – past and present collide as they retrace Lewis and Clark’s journey only to find the source of the terrible burning in the waters — Farmer Dave himself.

THE SCREW YOU REVUE

Wayburn Sassy is an 89 year old self-proclaimed “Entertainment Legend” and America’s Favorite Bigot. Wayburn fears Blacks, Jews, Hispanics, Japanese, Arabs, Islanders, the Taiwanese, bongo players, men in kilts, and above ALL he fears ” Whimsicals” (Wayburn’s word for Gay Men). Wayburn has the excellent fortune of sharing the stage with his “Amorous Amazon,” his “Leggy Lolita,” his “Girl-with-the-Gorgeous-Gams,” Miss Didi Panache. Didi loves everyone, but she loves Wayburn best. Together, this irreverent twosome transport the audience to a place where no subject is taboo and everyone takes part in the joke.

THE DOPPELGANGER COMETH AND OVERTAKETH

THE DOPPELGANGER COMETH AND OVERTAKETH
Presented as part of the Cincinnati Fringe Festival ’12
Emery Theatre
Over-the-Rhine 

Reviews: CityBeat |

Absurd, modern and fantastical, this play realizes the desire in all of us to forgo and escape our own responsibilities in favor of something a little further down the rabbit hole. Leah summons a doppelganger in order to shirk her responsibilities, only to find herself locked in a cell and being prepared for sacrifice, leaving her friends back home in terrible danger. A demon is involved, as well as some cannibalism (depending on what your rules are). With a semi-interactive set, a visible Twitter feed and local music, this play is exciting, strange and engrossing.

Written by Tyler Smetts
Directed by Leah Strasser

Cast: Leah Strasser, Ben Dudley, Stephen Geering, Jon Nutter & MaryKate Moran
