A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM IN A BAR
Shakespeare On Tap
This forest is full of fools! Lost lovers, fighting fairies, and failed theatre majors are all tossed together for a night of hijinks you'll never forget. Enjoy Shakespeare's classic comedy in the madcap Shakespeare on Tap style. Real actors. No director. One rehearsal. In a bar.
The Lemonade Stand
This woman is in a play right now and the play is so bad and she thinks that maybe she’s maybe getting haunted by the bog man (the play is about a bog man) and this could all be one big coincidence and she just really needs health insurance—wait what was that?
Do you hear that too?
BoyGirl Gymnastics
mimebaby
Gymnastics is hard, but so is life. And their life? Is Gymnastics. And their sleepovers? Full-time jobs. First to fall asleep? Youre fired. Youre dead. This is basically the olympics. Olympic sized stakes. Served rare, bleeding.
Like Seriously: What would you do??? if your best friend was lying??
Bride To Be

Don’t Kill Daisy
Soleil Kohl
Daisy accidentally opened a wormhole. Oops! Now it's your job to keep her alive through an endless array of evil villains, beasts, and environmental dangers. A glitching, interactive comedy and jarringly poetic adventure through nostalgia, and what it means to confront collapse in the digital age.

Jane Eyre Wasn’t A Whore
Carly Polistina
Brontë enthusiast and actor Anne Brauer is staunchly opposed to modern dating. Suddenly, she finds herself in a situationship of GOTHIC proportions. Much like in a musical where characters break out into song, in this she breaks into passages from Brontë novels. Part Rom-Com, part Period Piece.
My Carmilla
Asha Bagal Kelly & Sabrina Caruso
My Carmilla is a queer folk horror theatre piece inspired by J. Sheridan Le Fanu’s 1872 novella, reimagined through a feminist, queer, and postcolonial lens. The actors playing Laura and Carmilla will alternate roles each performance, highlighting the question: who is predator, and who is prey?

Your Best Odd Girl Out
Adrian Collins
Enough sapphic desire and earnest yearning to fill a U-Haul. This love letter to lesbian longing is a first date, a one-night stand, an ode to life as a dyke in the 21st century. After a sold out run at Dixon Place’s HOT! Fest, Adrian Collins brings her hilariously passionate solo show to Fringe.
