Producer Biography

InBocca Performance aims to produce collaborative, bleeding edge theatre within and for our community that will ask you to #getdefiant. Created by Caroline Stine in a basement, we’ve been making art in Cincinnati for over twenty years. Our goal is to make theatre that shines light in dark places and offers a voice to the voiceless. “There is something wonderfully anarchic about all [InBocca’s] productions. And dangerous. And quite potent, as well.” -Cincinnati Enquirer
