Reviews: CityBeat |

Hey there, fringers! The six of us have decided to accept ourselves in all our varied, neurotic, and often contradictory glory. We’re applauding our triumphs, cringing at our failures, and rooting for each other as we learn to just be. We sing, dance, and talk, about relationships and stuff. Our passion is mixed with self-doubt, but we promise to give you everything we’ve got! Let’s laugh and cry together, shall we?

Mix a Hitchcock masterpiece with a juicy spy novel, add a dash of Monty Python and you have The 39 Steps, a fast-paced whodunit with nonstop laughs. A man with a boring life meets a woman with a thick accent who says she’s a spy. When he takes her home, she is murdered. Soon, a mysterious organization called “The 39 Steps” is hot on the man’s trail in a nationwide manhunt that climaxes in a death-defying finale! This hysterical thriller features an on-stage plane crash, handcuffs, missing fingers and some good old-fashioned romance.

CFF14: AROUND DARK MATTER

Presented as part of the Cincinnati Fringe Festival ’14

Over-the-Rhine 

The piece deals with the remembrance of the Holocaust and explores it from the collective point of view and from my personal point of view. Are my obsession with the Holocaust and the intensity of my remembrance of it a result of my personality or are they influenced by the way my country wants me to remember it. I try to understand the force that keeps pulling me to immerse myself in this dark matter.
