THE MOST FABULOUS STORY EVERY TOLD
Queen City Queen Theatre Collective
March 14
Below Zero Lounge [Over-the-Rhine]

Directed by Rob Bucher

Cast: Erin Ward as Stage Manager, Darnelle Pierre Benjamin as Adam, Matthew Wilson as Steve, Patrick E. Phillips as Man 1, Andrew Maloney as Man 2, Lori Kirstein as Woman 1, Lisa Dirkes as Woman 2, Sara Mackie as Mable & Burgess Byrd as Jane

A stage manager, headset and prompt book at hand, brings the house lights to half, then dark, and cues the creation of the world. Throughout the play, she’s in control of everything. In other words, she’s either God, or she thinks she is. Act One recounts the major episodes of the Old Testament, only with a twist: Instead of Adam and Eve, our lead characters are Adam and Steve, and Jane and Mabel, a lesbian couple with whom they decide to start civilization (procreation proves to be a provocative challenge). Act One covers the Garden of Eden, an ark, a visit with a highly rambunctious Pharaoh and finally even the Nativity. Along the way, Mabel and Adam invent God, but Jane and Steve are skeptical. Act Two jumps to modern day Manhattan. Adam and Steve are together again. It’s Christmas Eve, and Jane is nine months pregnant even though she always thought of herself as the butch one. The two women want to marry and want Adam and Steve to join them in the ceremony. Advisory: Adult themes and language.

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

Free, donations accepted.

THE BALTIMORE WALTZ
Presented by Queen City Queen Theatre Collective
Jan. 11
Below Zero Lounge [Over-the-Rhine]

Directed by Lindsey Augusta Mercer

Cast: Billy Chace, Maggie Lou Rader & Justin McCombs

When Anna, an unmarried schoolteacher, is diagnosed with ATD, Acquired Toilet Disease, a fatal new malady with a high risk factor for elementary school teachers, she and her brother Carl take flight to Europe. Anna decides she wants to drown herself in the sensuality of food and sex, while Carl becomes involved in a wild Third Mannish espionage scheme to find a cure for his sister on the Continent. Something is not quite right with the scenario, and the largest hint is dropped when Anna shows slides of their trip to Europe where each frame looks exactly like Baltimore. Carl’s quest for a cure dead ends with a mad Viennese quack.
