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

Off-Broadway Success STOP KISS Gets Stripped-Down Treatment on Local Stage‏

QCQTC_Stop Kiss logoQueen City Queer Theatre Collective proudly announces the March 9 production of STOP KISS, starring Mia Vera, Linnea Bond, Billy Chase, and Jared Hudson. Extended three times off-Broadway in 1998, STOP KISS follows the touching love story of two women who are brutally attacked after their first kiss.

This will be the fifth production of QCQTC made possible through the support of Nigel Cotterill and Absolute Vodka’s ongoing sponsorship. This production will feature young actors from Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati, Know Theatre of Cincinnati, and Cincinnati Shakespeare Company stages, as well as Abby Rowold playing the part of Mrs. Winsley and the Nurse.

Ms. Vera, playing the news reporter who finds herself falling for a new friend, has been a part of the collective from it’s inception six months ago. Of her personal connection the play, she says, “Even before I came out, I was drawn to Diana Son’s writing… So often we have to dig to find others like us, and that glorious moment when you can go, ‘look, they’re just like me!’ is the moment of community we live for. The feeling of sameness after a lifetime of Other. STOP KISS was and is that play for me. The characters leapt out at me, the tragedy and the romance seduced me, and now I feel like I know why.”

The Queen City Queer Theatre Collective seeks to be a safe space for LGBTQ stories and conversation. Actors perform readings monthly on the second Monday at 7:30 pm in the Cabaret space at Below Zero Lounge. Tickets are free, with $5 suggested donation.

IKELOS Runs Feb. 26-27

KTC_IkelusIKELOS
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.
