Plastic animals come to life. Teenagers get left out of history books. And we’re gonna find that yellow Frisbee if it kills us. From the minds behind 2017’s Producer’s Pick comes a glimpse into three different worlds and the loose threads that bind them. There’s no time. Stop making sense. Join the party.

First Lutheran Church Lounge
Over-the-Rhine

In SHOW UP, internationally acclaimed solo performer Peter Michael Marino uses his decades of solo expertise to turn the clichés of the genre on their clichéd heads. Using an arsenal of Post-it Notes, Pete transforms the audience’s experiences into a comedic life-story that’s different each time. You control the content, set, and sound for this socially-anxious show about you. And there’s a party!
