Without Fear Theater is showcasing ““Find Me: A Modern Rock Opera” – a neurodiversity-affirming story of two strangers learning to connect using more than words. It features a live band that acts as a narrator with a 1970’s rock vibe. Alone in her apartment, Allie is eagerly awaiting a guest she’s met. When she finally arrives, Allie is stunned that the person she’s been expecting is nothing like Allie imagined. Together, two strangers learn to connect through more than words. With a live band acting as narrator, inner voice, spirit guide & kid’s TV show… FIND ME explores our most vulnerable relationship, the one we have with ourselves.
“We are incredibly proud to present our first original productions from the inaugural Collective program,” says Orlando Fringe Artistic and Marketing Director Desiree Montes. “This program was born out of Orlando Fringe’s belief in amplifying voices and uplifting our artistic community, along with our position in the Central Florida arts community as the beginning pipeline for organizations to create, experiment and grow at our annual festivals. We are very excited to welcome an incredible second season at our year-round space, which includes showcasing our very own local talent through all of the Collective productions, which we cannot wait for our highly supportive arts loving community to come out and experience.”
