2013 Speakers for Thursday’s trueFRINGE

TRUE_logoFor the third year in a row, True Theatre has been invited to the Cincinnati Fringe Festival to provide an evening of entertainment of “true stories told be real people.” In this case, all the “real people” are artists associated with the 2013 Festival!

If you’ve seen any of these people’s shows as part of the Festival, then you’ll know already what a treat it will be to hear each one tell a true, personal story about life as a performing artist.

If you come to trueFRINGE (8:30pm, Thu, June 6, at the Coffee Emporium on 110 Central Parkway, downtown) you will hear from:

With Live Music by Andrea Young Lee!

Cincinnati’s True Theatre, now in its third season, continues to sell out every one of their onenight- only shows, advertising only ‘true stories told by real people’ and a theme. Each of their shows (including trueFEAR, trueFOOLISHNESS, trueHUNGER, and trueLOVE) have drawn storytellers from all walks of life. For the past two years, True Theatre joined the Festival with trueFRINGE, featuring only storytellers associated with the Festival. Back with the same idea, trueFRINGE (“3”) features 5 storytellers (all artists part of the 2013 festival) sharing true, personal stories that will give you that behind-the-scenes look at life in-and-around the theatre that will make you laugh, cry, and shake your head*. Don’t miss the chance to make your Fringe experience complete with this ONE NIGHT ONLY show! (*Laughing, crying, and head-shaking guaranteed).

TRUE Seeks Mischief Stories

TRUE_logoTrue Theatre is looking for stories on “MISCHIEF” for their next show (Monday, April 8, 2013)

We know you’ve been up to know good! …or have been the victim of someone who was. True Theatre is producing trueMISCHIEF, which will run for one night only on Monday, April 8 at the Know Theatre in downtown Cincinnati. They are now making appointments with people to hear their true, personal, MISCHIEF-related stories for possible inclusion in the show. Appointments will be for Saturday, March 9 or by arrangement. If you have a story you would like True Theatre to consider for this show, reach out to them at truetheatre.com/contact.html or by writing stories@truetheatre.com. They will work with you to set an appointment and provide directions.

On the night of the show, stories will be expected to fit into a 10-15 minute time window and be told without notes. For the initial appointment, it is hoped, but not mandatory, that candidates can come close to these constraints. Unique approaches to the theme are welcome.

Following the consideration period, True Theatre will select five (5) stories for the show which fit the theme, have a good structure, and which balance nicely against the other stories selected.

If your story is selected for the show, you will be expected to work with True Theatre to find time to participate in 1 – 3 rehearsals (as needed) and then participate in the show.

More details about True Theatre’s selection process can be found at http://www.truetheatre.com/auditions.html.

The last show that True Theatre is producing this season (and for which they are looking for storytellers) include:

July 29, 2013, trueCRIME: The crime rate in the summer is higher than at any other time of the year. Duck for cover with True Theatre for these stories of crime and punishment.

[All shows are at 7:30PM]

If you have a story that you think fits one of these themes or just have one that you gotta share, reach out to True Theatre by the methods listed above.
