Performance Gallery

Cincinnati, OH


Vocal sounds giving new context to conventional language.

Celebrate 20 years of Cincinnati Fringe with Performance Gallery as they return (for their 20th year!) to deftly dissect and reorganize the sound mechanics of human speech. Like past fan favorites, fricative and Vox Box, plosive! is an entertaining vocal collage concert of fricatives, diphthongs, triphthongs, plosives, and more!!!

Please note there is no late seating for this production.

Based on current infection rates and active cases, Cincy Fringe plans to make masking encouraged, but optional in performance spaces for audiences for the 2023 Festival.

Please note that we will re-evaluate this policy if infection rates rise significantly before or during the Festival, in the interest of keeping the festival accessible to our most vulnerable artists, patrons, and staff.

Thank you for your understanding.
