KTC_Series2SERIALS 2: THE THUNDERDOME
Presented by Know Theatre of Cincinnati
Feb. 2-March 30
Over-the-Rhine

SERIALS is Know Theatre’s Monday Night program of new plays by local writers, told in fortnightly installments over the course of 10 weeks. Season 1 featured 6 complete plays over the course of 6 episodes in Summer 2014. And this winter it’s time for SERIALS 2: THE THUNDERDOME

How does it work? 15 minute episodes, every two weeks, a total of 5 installments.In each installment, we’ll present 5 shows. At the end of the evening, the audience will vote on which 3 plays get to continue for another episode.

There’s an element of competition, but we’re also hoping to build a strong community, both in the artists putting the shows together and the audiences that are directly invested in what appears onstage.

THE HANDMAID’S TALE
Presented by Know Theatre of Cincinnati

Over-the-Rhine

Adapted for the stage by Joe Stollenwerk

Directed by Brian Isaac Phillips

Starring Corrine Mohlenhoff

In the near future, what’s left of the United States has become a theocracy known as the Republic of Gilead. As with many women in Gilead, Offred has had her name and family taken from her, forced to become a Handmaid, a vessel for population growth, valued only for her viable ovaries. In the midst of the oppressive new regime, and armed with memories of life before the revolution, Offred struggles to maintain her individuality, personhood, and hope for a better possible future.

SOMETHING SOMETHING NEW VAGINA Runs Jan. 9-10

KTC_Something Something New VaginaSOMETHING SOMETHING NEW VAGINA
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.
