Just a Few More Hours

According to the Zombie Outbreak timer, we are down to about 10 hours and some spare change before Zombies invade the Cincinnati Fringe.  Creating this show has been a wild ride and unlike any other show I've put together.  It really is a summary statement of everything that I have done before.  It combining the emotion of Only When I Bleed (my play on cutting and self-injury), the tight dialogue I have been honing through my work with ten minute and one minute plays, and the comedy of Extreme Puppet Theater, and Dada, As Translated to Stage.

I will let all your fine folks see the results for yourself.  Because I realized I did not put in specific information about dates/times/ticket prices, etc., I have included that below.

Take care and I hope to see you sometime during the run of this show.
