SEE THEIR SHOWS THEN COME HEAR THEIR STORIES!
4 artists from the 2022 Cincinnati Fringe Festival share their true, personal stories about the highs and lows of being a working artist. This is our 11th appearance at the Festival and this show is always a crowd pleaser!
Our storytellers for trueFRINGE 2022 include:
Caitlin McWethy (Cincinnati, OH), co-producer and director of “Wuthering: A Musical on the Moors” ~ In this explosive folk musical, Cathy and Heathcliff live life like roman candles––wild and uncontainable. Their kinship is born from a defiance against a world determined to extinguish their flame, and one is haunted by the memory. ~ The team of Gregory & McWethy have won awards for both of their past Cincinnati Fringe Festival contributions!

Laura Anne Harris (Vancouver, WA), creator and star of “Destiny, USA” ~ In November 2016 Laura moves from Toronto to Syracuse, New York. She wasn’t expecting to be residing in Trump’s America. Gaining her first job as a Relay operator for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing causes her to question whether she can discover the hidden humanity of the American people. This production integrates ASL video performance featuring three Deaf actors, and closed captioning. ~ The Toronto Star called this piece a “testament to empathy and the belief that wherever you are, you are exactly where you need to be”!

Jon Bennett (Adelaide, Australia), creator and star of “Fire in the Meth Lab” ~ Dear Brother, How’s jail? I’ve written a show about you, is that ok? You’re in jail so you can’t really say no. Love from your little brother, Jon. ~ This show has played all over the world and has earned many awards! Deets and tix: https://cincyfringe.com/jon-fire-in-the-meth-lab/
Kevin James Thornton (Nashville, TN), personality in front of and behind “An Evening With Kevin James Thornton” ~ Kevin tells stories about his religious upbringing and coming of age in the 90s with absurdity and a splash of autotune. ~ This singer/song writer, photographer, film-maker, stand-up comedian, and storyteller has built a huge online following with 1.5 million followers and nearly a billion video views on TikTok!
