David A. Centers Earns a League of Cincinnati Theatres Award for Children’s Theatre Production of RAPUNZEL! RAPUNZEL!
(CINCINNATI, MARCH 27, 2012)– David A. Centers, scenic designer for The Children’s Theatre of Cincinnati, has been recognized with a League of Cincinnati Theatres (LCT) Award for the company’s production of RAPUNZEL! RAPUNZEL! A Very Hairy Fairy Tale. Centers received an LCT Award in the same category earlier this year for his work on the company’s production of Disney’s MY SON PINOCCHIO JR.
Centers scenic design for the show was described as “simple and very well executed in a style that was great for the play.” In addition to the show’s signature tower, the set also boasts a forest that “wasn’t too dank, dark and dismal, but instead had personality.”
RAPUNZEL! RAPUNZEL! is a world premiere musical that offers numerous new twists on the classic fairy tale thanks to its playwrights/composers, the local team of Janet Yates Vogt and Mark Friedman. Still front and center is a beautiful princess with extra long hair, locked by the evil Lady Zaza in a tower guarded by a 17-foot dragon. Lady Zaza aims to keep Rapunzel from her rightful place as ruler of the kingdom, until the arrival of a handsome suitor who’s not entirely certain for what he’s searching.
Performances for RAPUNZEL! RAPUNZEL! continue through March 31. Ticket information is available at www.thechildrenstheatre.com.
