THE CHRONICLE
Presented by Know Theatre Cincinnati as part of the Fall Fringe Festival
Sept. 19
Over-the-Rhine

Lives deconstructed. Because we care. OTRimprov, heading into their Fall Series starting October 6th, is proud to once again present their flagship production, first introduced to Cincinnati audiences at the 2012 Cincinnati Fringe Festival. Inspired by one of the most popular shows to emerge from the Chicago improv scene, THE CHRONICLE is OTRimprov’s take on the Armando Diaz Experience, a long-form improvisation created at improvOlympic Chicago, where a special guest shares personal stories that weave into scenes inspired by the monologues. OTRi will once again tap Fringe artists as their storytellers for this encore production where we do whatever the hell we want with other people’s lives. OTRi is Know Theatre’s house improv team and member of the Jackson Street Market.

THE SCREW YOU REVUE
Presented by Know Theatre Cincinnati as part of the Fall Fringe Festival
Sept. 21 & 22
Over-the-Rhine

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.

Kevin J. Thornton: UNFRINGED
Presented by Know Theatre Cincinnati as part of the Fall Fringe Festival
Sept. 20 & 22
Over-the-Rhine

Kevin J Thornton (Sex, Dreams & Self Control 2009, I Love You We’re F*#ked 2011, Strange Dreamz 2012) returns with “Kevin J Thornton: UNFRINGED.” Expect his signature mix of comedic storytelling and original music, but this time with a twist. The entire hour is completely unscripted and spontaneous! He knows he’s probably going to talk about the time he worked on a cruise ship in South America and then play you the joke ideas he records into his phone in the middle of the night when he’s super stoned, but that’s about it. One thing is certain, this will be never before heard material. Could be thrilling. Could be moderately thrilling. Could be something else entirely.
