Summer is here (not technically, but close enough) and Oddy Festival is
celebrating with a bit lighter of theatrical fare. Please consider coming
on out to the *Heights Arts Studio (2340 Lee Road) on Wednesday, June 3rd,
at 7:30* for a delightful evening of Shakespeare mash-up, intertextual song,
and a Judd-Apatow-esque piece on texting, "Stand Down". It'll be lol, no
jk. As always, to help facitilate you rotflyao, we are offering *NEOhioPAL
referencers admission for HALF-PRICE ($5*). Hope to see you in a week!
<3, Matt
*txt-ing: The TENTH ODDY FEST SHOW*
* *
*“The Fog” by William Shakespeare*
*Arranged & adapted by Matt Greenfield*
This ambitious short work takes individual iambic pentameter lines from all
of the Bard’s works and re-arranges them to create a Beckettian mash-up that
explores the meaning of theatre and the theater of meaning.
*Intermission music featuring the rap “Drop the Mic”!*
Opening and closing the set are short folksy works from OddyFest troupe
members, but stuffed in between is some hard-core minimalistic rap!
*Stand Down: A Morality Play for the Modern Era**
*by Matt Greenfield & Matt Goldman*
Based on real-life events, this hilarious work takes a close look at why so
many of today’s young people choose to envelop themselves in a comforting
world of ipods, texting, and minimalized human contact.
With a crazy gamut of characters, it’s pretty easy to see why such an
isolated world is preferable...
