Bowling Green siblings Genevieve Simon and Martin Simon are teaming up to produce “Delivery” at the Cincinnati Fringe Festival June 5, 6, 8, and 9.
Genevieve Simon, a playwright and actor now based in New York City, wrote and performs in “Delivery,” a three-part surreal comedy with music presented by NYC theatre company The Functional Shoes.
Her younger brother Martin Simon, specializing in Technical Design as a theater major at Bowling Green State University, acts as the technical operator for “Delivery” at the Cincinnati Fringe Festival.
Both siblings are alumni of Horizon Youth Theatre and the Bowling Green High School Drama Club.
“Delivery” serves up three strange worlds and asks you to find the connections among them. Three women fail to get the message across, plastic animals come to life, teenagers get left out of history books, and fresh new, original music is created and distorted in this funny, hyper-aware, and delightfully abstract hour-long triptych.
“Delivery” received a workshop production at The Tank in New York City in May. This three-part, 60-minute adventure is a must-see at the Cincinnati Fringe Fstival
The Functional Shoes www.sthefunctionalshoes.com is an award-winning pop-up theatre company based in New York City.
