EXIT, PURSUED BY A BEAR
Queen City Queen Theatre Collective
Feb. 13
Below Zero Lounge [Over-the-Rhine]

Directed by Hannah Gregory

Cast: Ally Mellick, Noah Berry, Ellyn Broderick, Jack Manion & Rhys Boatwright

In this play loosely inspired by Shakespeare’s “A Winter’s Tale,” Nan has decided to teach her abusive husband Kyle a lesson. With the help of her friend Simon (acting as her emotional — and actual — cheerleader) and a stripper named Sweetheart, she tapes Kyle to a chair and forces him to watch as they reenacts scenes from their painful past. In the piece de resistance, they plan to cover the room in meat and honey so Kyle will be mauled by a bear. Through this night of emotional trials and ridiculous theatrics, Nan and Kyle are both freed from their past in this smart, dark revenge comedy.

Please note: performance is in the second floor Cabaret space, which is not handicap accessible.

THE ANXIETY PROJECT – ENCORE
Queen City Queer Theatre Collective
Oct. 10
Below Zero Lounge [Over-the-Rhine]

Directed by Lindsey Augusta Mercer

Original cast: Erin Griff Bludworth, Kaleigh Brooke-Dillingham, Hannah Gregory, Andrew Maloney, Erin McCamley, Spenser Smith, & Robert Carlton Stimmel

A new song cycle that explores true stories of suffering, loss, struggle, alienation, friendship, brokenness, love, hate and everything that comes with anxiety and depression disorders. The show combats one of the last great stigmas, giving voice to the people who live it – using the actual words of those for whom this disease is a large part of their lives. At once poignant and touching, this new musical explores the effects of mental illness on our collective minds – and how ignoring it leaves ripples in our social existence.

An encore presentation of The new musical THE ANXIETY PROJECT which was work-shopped and performed this past June. The Encore reading will feature nearly all of the original cast, and will introduce some newly developed material not previously seen.

Please note: performance is in the second floor Cabaret space, which is not handicap accessible.

Free, donations accepted.
