Everyone’s favorite elf Crumpet, the elf fixated on spastic children, obnoxious parents, nutty co-workers and, oh yeah, One Life to Live, is back in our alternative holiday favorite! Then, in THE 12 DATES OF CHRISTMAS: what happens when Mary sees her fiancé making out with his co-worker on national TV at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade? She dumps him and then spends the next year being set up, hooked up, strung up, and fed up as she navigates her life “alone” as a New York actor in her thirties.

GRIM AND FISCHER runs Nov. 9-10

GRIM AND FISCHER: A Deathly Comedy in Full Face Mask
Presented by Cincinnati Fringe Festival
Nov. 9-10
Over-the-Rhine

Death meets his match in Mrs. Fischer, a tenacious granny not ready to breathe her last. An aging grandmother is pit against none other than the Grim Reaper and confronts the inevitable question: what is it to know your end is nigh? Can you ignore death? Can you escape death? Can you hit death in the face with a frying pan? A tender telling of an absurdly epic journey; one woman’s fight for survival takes fantastical flight in a showdown with Grim himself. Ages 10 and up.

GRIM AND FISCHER is a new dish made of old ingredients. It is performed in full-face mask, a wordless, whimsical form rarely seen on North American stages which audiences have described as watching a living cartoon, or ‘live-action Pixar’. And like a cartoon, the power of GRIM AND FISCHER lies in its ability to step away from the sharpness of reality and offer a different lens though which to examine a deeper, darker universal struggle: our fear of death. In this distinct style of storytelling, with a rich soundscape, timeless slapstick and masterful physical performances, GRIM AND FISCHER takes its audience on a profound journey that is at turns both hilarious and heart-breaking.

  • Fri, Nov. 9 at 8pm
