Presented by Know Theatre of Cincinnati
Feb. 26-27
Over-the-Rhine

Initially presented as part of the 2014 FringeNext Series, Meddling Kids returns with Ikelos as part of Know Theatre’s Fringe Encore programming.

Diagnosed with narcolepsy at a surprisingly young age, awkward teenager Ike is learning to adjust to a life riddled with untimely and unpredictable spurts of sleep. As he struggles to pass his final semester of high school, Ike does his best to distinguish his whimsical dreams from his unpromising reality. Ike’s relatable narrative explores both the tragedy and humor of our fantasies.

The American frontier, 1867- A young woman flees her war-torn home to start a new life in an unfamiliar land. A thirteen-song cycle of love, betrayal and redemption in Western Kansas, sung by the ghost of Anna Morgan Faber.

“A series of magnificent narrative songs, performed just perfectly… An absolute triumph of music, production and mischievous willingness to unnerve.” -Edmonton Journal (Five Stars)

“The stand out musical performance of the 2013 Kansas City Fringe Festival… The Coldharts have a not to be missed hit on their hands.” -KCMetropolis.org

“Splendidly moving vocals, exquisite guitar aristry and rich emotional range convey genuinely epic storytelling. This production evokes an atmosphere, forlorn, spectral and sacred.” -Minneapolis Star Tribune

SOMETHING SOMETHING NEW VAGINA Runs Jan. 9-10

Presented by Cincinnati Fringe Festival
Jan. 9-10
Over-the-Rhine 

A 2014 Cincy Fringe Encore. SOMETHING SOMETHING NEW VAGINA is a solo performance about loving one’s self and one’s body. It’s also about a vagina: Rebecca Kling’s fancy new vagina. Kling was previously seen at CincyFringe in 2012 with Storms Beneath Her Skin; now she’s back (she was never one to call it clits) and is ready to tackle issues of identity without ovary-acting. Climaxing with a Strip Q&A, you’d be doing yourself a dis-cervix if you miss it.

Rebecca Kling is a transgender artist and educator who explores gender and identity through solo pieces and educational workshops. Her multidisciplinary performances incorporate conversational storytelling, personal narrative, humor, movement, and more. Kling takes the position that sharing accessible queer narrative with a wide audience is a form of activism, and that understanding combats bigotry. She regularly tours to colleges, universities, and theatre festivals across the country, and has received praise from media outlets coast to coast.
