Cincinnati’s True Theatre, now in its third season, continues to sell out every one of their onenight- only shows, advertising only ‘true stories told by real people’ and a theme. Each of their shows (including trueFEAR, trueFOOLISHNESS, trueHUNGER, and trueLOVE) have drawn storytellers from all walks of life. For the past two years, True Theatre joined the Festival with trueFRINGE, featuring only storytellers associated with the Festival. Back with the same idea, trueFRINGE (“3”) features 5 storytellers (all artists part of the 2013 festival) sharing true, personal stories that will give you that behind-the-scenes look at life in-and-around the theatre that will make you laugh, cry, and shake your head*. Don’t miss the chance to make your Fringe experience complete with this ONE NIGHT ONLY show! (*Laughing, crying, and head-shaking guaranteed).

Presented as part of the Cincinnati Fringe Festival ’13

Coffee Emporium

Barry Sanders, the mostly forgettable roller coaster tycoon you met back in high school, is celebrating his 30th birthday, and you’re invited. Get ready to revisit all of those people you were hoping you’d never have to see again, participate in a series of joyless party games and interact with a cast of sociopaths who showed face tonight for their own selfish reasons. This is one shitty party, and it wouldn’t be the same without you. This immersive, interactive piece from the twisted minds of Endless Chili Productions will have you wishing you never RSVPed, “Yes.”

CFF13: THE WAVE

Presented as part of the Cincinnati Fringe Festival ’13

Art Academy Auditorium

Reviews: Enquirer | CityBeat | Behind the Curtain |

Based on a true story, THE WAVE by Ron Jones, is a narrative about a young 1960’s California history teacher who wanted to deter his students from the allure of totalitarianism. His daring social experiment succeeded beyond his wildest expectations, creating a fascist state on campus. Replete with salutes and Gestapo-like informants, 30 students grew to 200 as this exercise in fascism spiraled out of control. The “experiment” illustrates how individual freedoms can be quickly abandoned and willfully repressed for collective goals and racism as happened in the rise of Nazi Germany and the treatment of the Jews during World War II.

CFF13: THE SPACE BETWEEN MY HEAD AND MY BODY

Presented as part of the Cincinnati Fringe Festival ’13

Reviews: Enquirer | CityBeat |

THE SPACE BETWEEN MY HEAD AND MY BODY explores the lives of seven people whose paths collide in flight on an airplane. In the unquantifiable space between departure and arrival, male and female, physical body and identity, we examine what defines each one of them. As the characters weave in and out of different times and space, different flights and even different bodies, they remain connected by the same journey. A journey that is forever pushing forward towards the fate of the passengers, their relationship to one another and their own survival in a sea of lost travellers.
