Second Thursday Fringe Update

Sunday’s full day of performances brought a swarm of people down to Over-the-Rhine, resulting in seven sell-out performances.

CFF_Edgar AllanThe Coldharts’ EDGAR ALLAN sold out its third consecutive performance on Thursday.

Eleven year old Edgar Allan has one goal: to be the most remarkable boy at boarding school. He has only one obstacle: Edgar Allan. A manic lullabye inspired by the childhood and short stories of Edgar Allan Poe.

Their final performance is Sat, June 6 at 7:25pm

CFF_DungeonAlso selling out their penultimate performance was DUNGEON from Hit the Lights, Dad Theater Co. from New York City.

A young man falls into the unknown to rescue something he holds dear. Inspired by kabuki, video games, horror movies, and pixar shorts, Hit the Lights, Dad Theater Co. build a world where the darkness speaks louder than the light.

The last chance to it Sat, June 6 at 4:00pm.

CHEMISTRY from The Cake Shop Theater Company enjoyed its first full house with hits next to last performance.

Steph struggles with chronic depression. Jamie just overachieved himself off the deep end. When they meet in their psychiatrist’s office, they can’t deny their chemistry, but can they survive it?

You can still catch their final performance on Sat, June 6 at 9:00pm.

SHELTER, a collaboration between Pones Inc.and Queen City Flash enjoyed its third sell out with its final performance of the Fringe.

At the end of the world, a teenage couple seek refuge in a backyard fallout shelter. As lights flicker and sirens blare, their internment reveals the cracks between them and their reliance on each other. They soon discover that survival isn’t what you escape, but what you bring with you.

CFF_TruefringeAs is pretty much the norm for all trueTHEATRE events, last night’s special event, trueFRINGE was a sell-out.

There are 15 performances to choose from on Friday and 23 performances on Saturday.

Although great storytelling is not limited to true, personal stories, True Theatre believes that these real moments of our lives, from the mundane to the extraordinary, give both the speaker AND the listener the ultimate sense of being part of a larger community than they were aware.

Come join us for an evening of True Theatre …where time slows down and we can listen.

CANCELLED DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER

True Theatre has become a phenomenon in Cincinnati, regularly playing to sold out audiences with curated collections of stories told by regular, untrained people with something unforgettable to say. For this special, one-night only edition of True Theatre the curators have gathered stories from a cross-section of people who have made the CAC what it is today. From the attorney who defended the organization against charges of obscenity and the man whose name is on the building, to those allowed to touch the art, get brides to glide down the stairs and turn audiences into artists, you’ll discover a whole new side of an organization that just turned 75. Truly.
