CFF17: WILDERNESS SURVIVAL

CFF_Wilderness SurvivalWILDERNESS SURVIVAL
Part of the Cincinnati Fringe Festival ’17
Memorial Hall Studio
Over-the-Rhine

Written and performed by Jimmy Grzelak

Jimmy Grzelak is an Eagle Scout, spiritual voyager, and “winningly offbeat imagination” (Washington Post). Sometime in the early 2000s, somewhere in rural America, young Jimmy was initiated into the ways of a world ruled by adolescent boys. In 2017, older Jimmy woke up and realized that knowledge is now nationally relevant. He comes to Cincinnati to do his duty as a scout – to serve as your guide into the wild.

Directed by Torie Wiggins

Cast: Jim Hopkins

WHITE PRIVILEGE tells the story of a middle-age white man and what it took to finally wake him from his privileged slumber. A hard humorous look at racial bias, and the uncomfortable conversation that White America needs to start having with itself.

Part of the Cincinnati Fringe Festival ’17
Memorial Hall Studio
Over-the-Rhine

Written and performed by Samara Lerman

What happens when your family lineage stops with you? What happens to the stories and memories of generations past? When the ghost of her grandmother starts visiting her at night, Samara is compelled to travel through interwoven family stories of survival. Where There Were Woods is a train-hopping, border-crossing story of danger, adventure, magic, loss, and the power of storytelling.

CFF17: WHAT SHE FOUND THERE

CFF_What She Found ThereWHAT SHE FOUND THERE
Part of the Cincinnati Fringe Festival ’17
Memorial Hall Ballroom
Over-the-Rhine

Directed by Caroline Stine

Cast: Brandi Botkin, Amanda Miller, Kate Crotty, Ellie Conniff, Kellyn Dolezal, Ashley Morton & Caroline Stine

WHAT SHE FOUND THERE, a young woman opens the bloody chamber of her husband’s secrets. Will she suffer the fate of the wives that came before her? In this retelling of the French fairy tale of Bluebeard, we examine the danger in asking for what you have been shown you may not have and what happens when a woman shatters the masculine world of power with her refusal to obey the rules forced upon her. Note: This play is NOT for children.

Three people: a survivalist, an artist and a Silicon Valley bro – hunted refugees blown out of their comfortable lives by a universal catastophe.
