One part Legend of Zelda, one part theatre, YOU ARE THE HERO is your chance to save the world from Evil! Fresh off a run at the Philadelphia Fringe Festival and a North American tour, this adventure hands the controls (and Starburst) to you. You’ll have to be brave, powerful, and wise to bring the story to a victorious end. But be careful, because ‘Game Over’ does exist…. 10-120 minutes.

Part of the Cincinnati Fringe Festival ’16 SPECIAL EVENTS

The Woodward
Over-the-Rhine

We create. We listen. We choose. We make small scenes with strict rules. We make plays with invented rules. We do this in front of an audience. When we do it well (and we always do it well), you laugh. And laugh. And laugh. Voted best Improv Troupe in Cincinnati in 2014 and 2015 by the readers of CityBeat, you owe it to yourself to see what happens when OTRimprov takes the stage. 60 minutes.
