Cincinnati Fringe Festival won’t announce its 2008 line-up till mid-March, but some VERY interesting proposals are in the mix, including a song cycle entry directed by Richard Hess, who brought original musical work by Adam Wagner and Mark Halpin to the festival in previous years, both big hits. If this new idea comes together, so will it be.

Other admired theater artists on the local scene who have pitched ideas are director/actor Ed Cohen, currently busy at work with studio projects at College-Conservatory of Music and Northern Kentucky University, as well as getting Madisonville Community Arts Center open for business, and actor Charlie Clark, who opens in February in the regional premiere of “Take Me Out” for New Stage Collective.
