SENSE & SENSIBILITY runs Feb. 17-March 18

Jane Austen’s SENSE & SENSIBILITY
Presented by Cincinnati Shakespeare Company
Feb. 17-March 18
Downtown

Reviews: Enquirer | CityBeat |

Fortune lost to fate. Romance lost to folly. When a lack of luck makes for difficult marriage prospects, the Dashwood sisters set sail on the volatile seas of courtship. Both are seeking husbands, but have completely opposite approaches. The sisters soon discover that neither reserved Elinor’s common sense nor impulsive Marianne’s passion offer the key to happiness. Scandalous secrets, burning betrayals, and suave (and some not-so-suave) suitors line the path to true love in this fresh adaptation of SENSE & SENSIBILITY.

Presented by Fairfield Footlighters
Feb. 17-26
Fairfield

Unger and Madison are at it again! Florence Unger and Olive Madison, that is, in Neil Simon’s hilarious contemporary comic classic: the female version of The Odd Couple. Instead of the poker party that begins the original version, Ms. Madison has invited the girls over for an evening of Trivial Pursuit. The Pidgeon sisters have been replaced by the two Constanzuela brothers. But the hilarity remains the same.

Directed by Tom Hanson

Cast: April Osborne as Sylvie, Teresa Riestenberg as Mickey, Joan Kirsch as Renee, Peggy Allen as Vera, Renee Marie as Olive Madison, Heidi Schiller as Florence Unger, Dan Schindler as Manolo Costazuela & Kevin Noll as Jesus Costazuela

We are also looking for any attractive young women to play showgirls. 
Call times are 10am to 3pm.

Anyone who is interested, please email me asap at davidgpro@gmail.com, or phone me at 513-582-2827.

“The Last Race” is being shot across the United States with an all volunteer cast and crew. 100% of the proceeds will go to the American Cancer Society for research for a cure to cancer.
