CFF_ShirtzencockleSHIRTZENCOCKLE
Presented by Performance Gallery as part of the 2015/16 Fringe Encore and Extra Series
Sept. 18-19
Over-the-Rhine 

Directed byRegina Pugh

Cast: Willemien Patterson, Jodie Linver, Derek Snow, Sydney Ashe & Jacob Biel

Folk and Fairy Tales provide a rich moral tapestry to explore – full of surrealism, magical and ridiculous moments and gory content that make our modern sensibilities uncomfortably tingly. This ensemble devised work uses ancient story content to create an energetic romp into the questionable world of morality and how it has been imposed on us through the cautionary tales of our childhood.

CFF_A Little Business at the Big TopA LITTLE BUSINESS AT THE BIG TOP
Part of Know Theatre of Cincinnati’s 2015/16 Fringe Encore and Extra Season
Sept. 3-5
Over-the-Rhine

Written and performed by David Gaines

From the creator of 7(X1) SAMURAI, a fast-paced spectacular circus comedy full of danger and romance – like Popeye meets Chaplin in a Bugs Bunny cartoon! The aerialists, the animals, the clowns, the brutal ringmaster!

The drama, the fight, … the thrilling escape across the high wire, … all by just one performer! “A tour de force of storytelling and physical theatre.  Mr. Gaines is an extraordinary theatre artist.  … It’s dazzling!” – Milwaukee Mag

Bruce Bane is a hired hand who shoots first and doesn’t ask questions.

Join Joe Bone and Ben Roe for this one man, one musician film noir comedy trilogy. Each installment is about an hour, and can be enjoyed individually as self contained stories, or in any order. (Though there is a special delight to experiencing them sequentially.)

Joe Bone is the Guinness world record holder for most characters portrayed by one actor in an evening. Following each episode will be a talkback about how this story came to be, and the process of touring the world, speaking before international crowds.
