Directed by Brian Isaac Phillips

This Tony Award winning play tells the true life tale of Joseph Merrick, whose severe physical deformities landed him in a Victorian freak-show. Joseph is rescued by Frederick Treves, a young doctor who discovers that behind the disfigured visage, lies not an animal, but an intelligent mind and a sensitive soul. As their friendship develops, Frederick endeavors to show the world to Joseph, who discovers it is both more beautiful and more cruel than he could have imagined. Note: This production contains nudity.

THE ANXIETY PROJECT – Encore on Oct. 10

QCQTC_The Anxiety Project logoTHE ANXIETY PROJECT – ENCORE
Queen City Queer Theatre Collective
Oct. 10
Below Zero Lounge [Over-the-Rhine]

Directed by Lindsey Augusta Mercer

Original cast: Erin Griff Bludworth, Kaleigh Brooke-Dillingham, Hannah Gregory, Andrew Maloney, Erin McCamley, Spenser Smith, & Robert Carlton Stimmel

A new song cycle that explores true stories of suffering, loss, struggle, alienation, friendship, brokenness, love, hate and everything that comes with anxiety and depression disorders. The show combats one of the last great stigmas, giving voice to the people who live it – using the actual words of those for whom this disease is a large part of their lives. At once poignant and touching, this new musical explores the effects of mental illness on our collective minds – and how ignoring it leaves ripples in our social existence.

An encore presentation of The new musical THE ANXIETY PROJECT which was work-shopped and performed this past June. The Encore reading will feature nearly all of the original cast, and will introduce some newly developed material not previously seen.

Please note: performance is in the second floor Cabaret space, which is not handicap accessible.

Free, donations accepted.

  • Mon, Oct. 10 at 7:30pm
