Art Academy Auditorium
Over-the-Rhine

Long ago, the Dream Keeper (DK) was assigned the task of watching and recording the dreams of people in a certain region. For the first time ever, she is being put in front of a live audience. DK, over-excited, but underprepared narrates while presenting her favorite group of people’s dreams and subsequent real-life sequences. It’ll be a thought-provoking night supplemented with laughter, music, and dreams—one of the most fascinating complications of the human mind. 65 minutes.

CFF16: WE DID IT, GIRL!

Part of the Cincinnati Fringe Festival ’16
Art Academy Studio
Over-the-Rhine

Written by Kevin Crowley
Featuring Kevin Crowley & Torie Wiggins

Our goal with We Did It, Girl! is the eradication of racism in America by the end of our run. Anything else is a waste of time. You might also laugh, cry, sing along and find yourself utterly horrified by the end and that’s ok too. But we’ve got no more time for broad assumptions and lazy generalizations about people who are different and so we are putting a stop it here and now. Enjoy. 45 minutes.
