That's right, it's that time of year once again.

We missed you in in 2007, Cincy Fringers, so we're back in oh-eight with Jennifer Fawcett's amazing then after water. The Columbus Dispatch called it "one of the year's best" and praised "Available Light's haiku-like production."

The show runs May 29-June 4 at the beautiful Main Street home of the New Stage Collective.

Samantha Blossom's day moves you from her Upper East Side apartment to a funeral in Queens, from a trendy Midtown magazine deep into an online relationship, before dragging you through the chaos of the meat-packing district club scene as she tracks down a punk-rock genius poet girl and desperately avoids her husband's mistress.

"[DEAD CITY] dissects the line between brilliance and just plain ol' crazy, blurring it even further... impressive." -Village Voice

"A thrilling theatrical trip...awe-inspiring." -Flavorpill

"For a hundred minutes, the city becomes like an oyster filled with infinite pearls... Callaghan has created a fluid, lyrical world that riffs on reality as if it were jazz." -New Theatre Corps

"Weirdly funny and haunting... a jagged stage poem." -Time Out Chicago

I Google Myself is the unusual story of three very different men with the same name. One is a gay porn star with a dirty little secret. One is a stoner mechanic who blogs poetry and has anger management issues. And another is a wily stalker with a balloon fetish, desperate to make a connection. Their worlds collide in a chain of events that will leave you asking yourself: what would I do to become a top search term on Google?

From NYtheatre dot com: "I Google Myself is a canny Internet Age thriller, but it's really finally about something eternal in human nature".

As usual, admission is FREE, coffee and cookies provided.

Free parking lot in front. If you haven't been attending the Theatreforte Reading Series, now is the time to start. It's the only place in Ohio you can bear witness to some of the best and brightest talents on the planet. Chicago playwright Marisa Wegrzyn is a face-to-watch in the middle of the country and on the coasts. Her comedy, The Butcher of Baraboo was part of Steppenwolf's 2006 First Look Repertory before opening in Philadelphia and New York. TheaterMania says "Wegrzyn has an already sharpened knack at trotting out lively characters primed to clash with each other the minute they come into the same room." Catch-up with Marisa's blog here.
