Emily Abigail a local blogger living in OTR has created a beautiful video essay on being alone.

Character is key to most theatre.  The characters in a blue collar neighborhood of St. Paul, Minnesota are as plentiful as bodies of water in the Land of Lakes.  Blue Collar Diaries, presented by Bridge Productions, is a one woman show exploring the depth of those characters.  Playwright Michelle Myers Berg performs each of the characters with sharp detail.  Using nothing more than a slight clothing change or few props, Berg transforms into each person with ease.

Nevermore, a play by Amy Pttinella and presented by Twilight Productions, tackles the formidable topic of the mental state behind great writers and does so with the life of Edgar Allen Poe.  Poe's sad lifestory is summarized during his haunting of a modern day writer's attempted suicide.

Allison Vodnoy (CincyFringe veteran and Model for the Fringe posters) has an interesting article in Soapbox this week about a couple of Cincinnati Fringe performing groups that both use movement/dance in their productions: Cincinnati's Pones, Inc. and Chicago's The Space/Movement Project.
