ON HER PILLOW

In 1977 it was cool to be a multi-racial family if you lived in San Francisco, or New York…but we lived in Addyston, Oh. Not cool…and NOT O.K. Then my parents gave me the name Honour Pillow because I wasn’t going to stand out enough as the only curly headed, biracial giant at my school. Now I was a curly headed, biracial giant named Honour Pillow. Geesh. No ordinary life could follow this beginning. I would become a Model in New York, a Comedienne in Chicago, and a Cancer Patient in Las Vegas. Being biracial was the least of my worries.

Reviews: CityBeat | Cincinnati Examiner | Behind the Curtain |

Inspired by a true story, NOTHING is a multi-media play about Ben, a young man with autism who is struggling through the social grind that is high school. He retreats to a world of technology (MP3, video cameras, online gaming) in order to escape the tragic reality of constant bullying. When Ben meets Barbie in a divine online connection, he builds up the courage to venture out of his comfort zone and visit her in the flesh. This overwhelming escapade leads Ben into a dangerous situation, putting his own life at risk.

Cast: Daniel Britt- Metalwork Teacher, Kathleen Ferrini- Maaike, Bren Harper- Barbie, Jon Kovach- Ben, Robert Livingston- Bogaert, Max Meyers- Desmet, Michael Peake- Headmaster, Grace Poganski- Psychiatrist, Tracy Schoster- Mother, David Stone- Coppola

THE MISTAKES MADELINE MADE

THE MISTAKES MADELINE MADE
Presented as part of the Cincinnati Fringe Festival ’12
Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati
Over-the-Rhine 

Reviews: CityBeat |

What happens if you just stop showering? THE MISTAKES MADELINE MADE is a twisted and hilarious coming-of-age story about a girl who develops Ablutophobia, the fear of bathing. Struggling with a soul-crushing job as a personal assistant, she wages a furious, funny war against all things complacent, pampered and clean. As her smell starts to overwhelm her co-workers and many casual lovers — a series of bad poets — the play raises the questions: Is dirty living a political act? And is clean living even possible in these times of unrest? An unlikely story of love and dirty people.

Cast: Rachel Berger as Edna, Sara Kenny as Beth, Christopher Ziegler as Wilson, Michael Carr as Buddy & Andrew Maloney as Drake, Jake + Blake

METHTACULAR! is the story of Steven Strafford’s life in Chicago as a Crystal Meth addict. Steven tells this story with humor, grace, panache and, perhaps most importantly, with honesty and without fear. You will laugh, cry and laugh again as he takes you on a roller coaster ride of humanity.
