Ice Factory Festival 2019

In the helter-skelter of summer theater festivals, the cool curatorial heads of Ice Factory always provide a welcome breeze. All seven shows in the fest's 26th edition, curated by New Ohio artistic director Robert Lyons, are directed by women, and each production runs for a single week. The first two offerings are Byzantine Choral Project's Outside of Eden (June 26–29) and Limited Liability Theater Company's The Drinking Bird (July 3–6). Future scheduled shows are Radical Evolution's Songs About Trains (July 10–13), Charly Evon Simpson's Sex Play (July 17–20), Rat Queen Theatre Co.'s Judy Doomed Us All (July 24–27), Gethsemane Herron-Coward's Lordes (July 31–Aug 3) and Maya Macdonald's Raw Pasta (Aug 7–10).
