[NEohioPAL] ODDYFEST JUNE PREMIERES WED.!

[Oddy Festival]

June has arrived and, with it, those pesky little white things that make
allergy-sufferers sneeze so much.  Instead of ODing on Claritin this
Wednesday nite, why not come out to the OddyFest June show, "txt-ing"?  It's
an intertextual mix of Shakespeare, rap, reggae, and a Judd-Apatow-esque
piece called "Stand Down" that is guaranteed to flush out those allergens in
your eyes with laughter-induced tears.  Come on out to the *Heights Arts
Studio (2340 Lee Road) this Wednesday, June 3rd, at 7:30 p.m.  As always,
NEOhioPAL referencers get in for HALF-PRICE (all of $5)!!*  Hope to see (and
hear) you then!


*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...
