New Stage Collective presents RADIANT BABY
Directed
by NSC Producing Artistic Director Alan Patrick Kenny
June
21-23, 28-30, July 5-7, 12-14 @ 8pm
New Stage Collective Theatre 1140 Main St (@ 12th St), Cincinnati, OH 45202
NSC is thrilled to present the regional premiere and third U.S. production of the innovative new musical Radiant Baby. Utilizing an explosive combination of rock, punk and pop music, Radiant Baby tells the story of 1980's pop artist Keith Haring and his symbol-inspired graffiti line art created in the New York subways which catapulted him to international superstardom, before tragically dying of AIDS at age 31.
Haring, a rare artist who achieved widespread public accolades but only minimal appreciation from the art world during his lifetime, used his art-accessible-to-all approach to encapsulate the turbulent generation living in the 80's and celebrate the vitality of their human spirit. Originally developed and directed by distinguished theatre director, writer, and producer George C. Wolfe, Radiant Baby received its World Premiere staging at New York 's Public Theatre, and was further developed in a later production at New York University. NSC is proud to present this fascinating and energetic musical's first ever regional production, directed by NSC Producing Artistic Director Alan Patrick Kenny.

A WOMB WITH A VIEW by Debra Barsha May 22 – June 3, 7PM
18 West 18th St. - 6th Floor
A WOMB WITH A VIEW explores a year in the life of a lesbian's journey through the process of alternative insemination.
From collecting donor samples in her living room, to having her partner (a NYC police officer) inject her with fertility drugs, to her day-to-day job as a 4th grade theatre teacher in a Brooklyn private school, this primal rush to beat the biological clock is not your ordinary view of conception. As one fashion conscious 5-year-old put it, "all you need to have a baby is an egg and a perm." Debra Barsha writes and stars in this inventive, uproarious piece filled with storytelling and song. CAP21's Executive Artistic Director Frank Ventura directs. Visit http://www.cap21.org/coming.htm for info.
