DON’T CROSS THE STREAMS: THE CEASE AND DESIST MUSICAL

DON’T CROSS THE STREAMS: THE CEASE AND DESIST MUSICAL

A popular early 80’s film about ghosts and the people who bust them is receiving a stage musical adaptation by a local theatre. When their world is shattered by a “cease and desist” letter from the lawyers of Columbia Pictures, the cast and crew give the show a new title, make delirious changes to an increasingly unrecognizable script and recruit a handsomely clueless soap opera actor to play the role of Peter Venkman. Silly string ion streams and a softshoe dance battle rule the day in a madcap theatrical farce a la NOISES OFF and Waiting for Guffman.

Written by Mike Hall and Joshua Steele
Directed by Michael Sherman
Music Direction by Steve Milloy

Cast: Nathan Noerr, Rodger Pille, Tom Highley, Sean Mette, Emma Greer, Phillip Webster, Christopher Stewart, Lauren Carr, Cameron Jamarr Davis, Randy Bailey & Steve Milloy

Splashy and charming seasoned Fringers, Psophonia Dance Company, return bearing treats for the eyes and the ears in their latest production, Delicious. In true Psophonia style, directors Noreiga and Torres unwrap a series of mini dances inspired by an eclectic collection of pictures, sound bites, text, props and musical interludes. What is delicious? In Psophonapolis it is a smorgasbord of colorful dancing characters serving your senses with strong neon visuals, luscious poetry, witty wordplay, and amusing songs, like Peter Percival’s Pet Pig Named Porky. Come take a taste of Delicious, a delectable delight ready to bite!

DANCES FOR A RECESSION

DANCES FOR A RECESSION
Presented as part of the Cincinnati Fringe Festival ’12

Reviews: CityBeat |

What should dances be in a recession? Intimate, cozy, conversational, with a profound payoff to remind you that dance matters. No fluff, no frills, no additives: just dance that is stripped down and vital. What’s left? — the magic and vigor of human bodies and human stories. These dances will warmly invite you in, leave you gasping with laughter and sorrow, and will sneak in a little philosophical epiphany along the way. This show fully embraces its own contradictions: it is risky, yet warm and inviting; lighthearted, yet sorrowful; hilarious, yet intellectually challenging. Scrappy dance for a gutsy hereafter.

CECILY AND GWENDOLYN’S FANTASTICAL CINCINNATI ANTHROPOLOGICAL INQUISITORIAL PROBE

CECILY AND GWENDOLYN’S FANTASTICAL CINCINNATI ANTHROPOLOGICAL INQUISITORIAL PROBE

Reviews: CityBeat | Enquirer |

The Fantastical… is an ongoing, ever-evolving, theater/social science experiment. Cecily Marlborough and Gwendolyn Hamm are time-traveling Victorian Social Anthropologists. Finishing their sure-to-be-definitive study, “A history of human cultures — from nascent tool makers to the baffling architects of their own, seemingly inevitable, doom –” they gather vital, missing data on 21st Century American Culture by conducting anthropological field studies/experiments on willingly gathered test subjects. Turning a slightly wacky Victorian lens on the unexamined aspects of our everyday lives, The Fantastical generates discoveries, conversations, super goofiness and an instant community in a room initially filled with strangers.

The autobiographical solo show of a Vietnam-era draftee who fights against the military bureaucracy for his right to organize his fellow GIs against the war. “Petrick’s smooth writing and linear flow makes his story super-engaging and yes, very funny.” -Winnipeg Uptown. “It’s a dazzling display with a self-deprecating honesty.” -Kings River Life. “It’s an engaging tale, often funny…Petrick’s writing is strong…valuable as a piece of history in a time when for much of the population, Vietnam is just a vague, long-ago event.” -Fresno Bee “…relevant and real” -Culture Vulture Victoria “Fascinating… engaging.” -CBC
