Decadence and excess are the life of the party in this jazzy 1920s whodunnit. Lovers Queenie and Burrs decide to throw the party-to-end-all-parties in their Manhattan apartment. After the colorful arrival of a slew of guests living life on the edge, Queenie’s wandering eyes land on a striking man named Black. As the party’s decadence and destruction reaches a climax, so does Burrs’ jealousy. Tickets will not be available for purchase at the venue.

THE BLIND DATE PROJECT Runs March 5-7

CAC_The Bling Date Project logoTHE BLIND DATE PROJECT
Presented by The Contemporary Arts Center at Know Theatre of Cincinnati
March 5-7
Over-the-Rhine

Cast: Bojana Novakovic & Jon Kovach on Friday, Darnell Pierre Benjamin on Saturday

A theatrical experiment, THE BLIND DATE PROJECT was created by Serbian/Australian actress, writer and producer Bojana Novakovic and Marc Winter, with the intention of learning about the social experiment of blind dating. Just like her character Anna, Novakovic, who sits alone in a bar, has no idea who her date will be until the show begins. Each date follows the same basic structure, in which karaoke is involved, but no two dates are the same.

The director provides each actor with a unique direction, defining what they would like each character to get out of the date. Guided only by text messages and phone calls from the director, each performance promises to be as unpredictable as it is dangerous. Premiering in Australia in 2012, the show aims to demonstrate the vulnerable, thoughtful, hilarious and humiliating moments that can happen on a first date.

  • Thu-Sat, March 5-7 at 8pm

CANCELLED DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER

True Theatre has become a phenomenon in Cincinnati, regularly playing to sold out audiences with curated collections of stories told by regular, untrained people with something unforgettable to say. For this special, one-night only edition of True Theatre the curators have gathered stories from a cross-section of people who have made the CAC what it is today. From the attorney who defended the organization against charges of obscenity and the man whose name is on the building, to those allowed to touch the art, get brides to glide down the stairs and turn audiences into artists, you’ll discover a whole new side of an organization that just turned 75. Truly.
