Part of the Cincinnati Fringe Festival ’17
1201 Main
Over-the-Rhine 

Sex or sickness? Laziness or comfort? Messy or well made? What does “bed” mean to you? You were probably born in bed and might be destined to die there. If you are lucky, you will sleep in one tonight. Beds are a strange mixture of comfort, pleasure, vulnerability and pain. We live there in dreams or nightmares. Join us for this theatrical exploration in words and movement of this mysterious and intimate place – our bed.

Gabriel’s Corner
Over-the-Rhine 

ANONYMOUS uses the language of dance, poetry, and original music to explore challenges of identity and belonging in a city where it’s too easy to remain unseen. Directed and choreographed by Mandie Reiber with a script devised from hundreds of nameless letters written by citizens of Over-the-Rhine, Anonymous creates an honest, intimate window into the challenges and victories that make up this city.

CFF17: 8×10

Part of the Cincinnati Fringe Festival ’17
MOTR Pub Basement
Over-the-Rhine 

Imagine you’re locked inside an 8″ x 10″ room for 23 hours a day. You’re allowed to exercise for one hour a day in a small chain-link cage. You haven’t touched another person in decades. You don’t know when you’re getting out. This is the reality of solitary confinement in the U.S. An intimate and harrowing experience, 8×10 tells the story of one man’s path to solitary, and illuminates his fight against the invisibility he experiences there.

CFF17: FIGHT FOR 52¢

Part of the Cincinnati Fringe Festival ’17
Coffee Emporium
Over-the-Rhine

Performed by Howard Petrick

V. R. Dunne’s whole life and character had prepared him for the Minneapolis truck drivers strike of 1934. The workers knew him as a good organizer, who smoked union-made cigarettes, was fond of the movies, didn’t get drunk, and was honest. He never raised his voice or wrote someone off without giving them a chance. The men followed his leadership and many of them, if the occasion offered, would be willing to die for him.
