Presented by Know Theatre of Cincinnati

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.

Presented by Know Theatre of Cincinnati
March 13-14
Over-the-Rhine

Originally presented as part of the 2014 Cincinnati Fringe Festival, The Coldhearts return from Brooklyn, NY as part of our Fringe ENCORE programming.

A folk opera sung by the ghost of Anna Morgan Faber.

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

SATURDAY THE 14TH presented by Know Theatre of Cincinnati through Feb. 14. Click here for more information on the production. I attended the opening afternoon performance.

Just in time for that damn Hallmark-holiday, Know Theatre of Cincinnati re-stages a popular entry from last summer’s SERIALS.

Leads Nik Pajic and Miranda McGee are very cute together and have a fun, every-man chemistry that makes them easy to root for. Rounding out the cast as “everyone else” is Chris Wesselman who tackles the multiple roles with unabashed enthusiasm and takes butt-crack humor to a whole new level.

Co-writer of the piece, Elizabeth Martin comes to Cincinnati to direct. She successfully stages the work on the existing set, with a few minor modifications, of Know’s current mainstage production. Martin and co-writer Lauren Hynek have added some new material to the piece to create a nicely-flowing, 60-minute play. Andrew Hungerford’s lighting and sound design works well to establish the various locations.

Overall, a quirky and laugh-out-loud funny, anti-romantic comedy. Perfect for the hopelessly romantics, and the hopeful ones.

My rating: 3.75 out of 5

I would enjoy hearing what you think about the show or my review. All I ask is that you express your opinion without attacking someone else’s opinion. You can post your comments below.
