NET Presents THE CANTERVILLE GHOST

New Edgecliff presents THE CANTERVILLE GHOST
Original Oscar Wilde story adapted by resident playwright O’Keefe

One Night Only! Saturday, October 20, 2012

New Edgecliff Theatre’s annual Sweet Suspense Radio Drama returns with a family-friendly radio style adaptation of the Oscar Wilde classic, adapted for the stage by NET’s Playwright-in-Residence, Catie O’Keefe. This one-night-only event includes the re-creation of an early 30’s-era radio studio, complete with live sound effects. This year, we bring our annual event to the Cincinnati Art Museum for a truly unforgettable night!

Where others have run screaming in terror, the Otis family seems quite comfortable in their new haunted house. After moving to England and into Canterville Chase, this family of Americans finds nothing frightening about the famous Canterville ghost, whose attempts to replenish an old blood stain are seen only as annoying, while efforts to scare the family usually end with the ghost himself hiding in fear. It’s not until the young daughter, Virginia, takes an interest in helping the murderous spirit, that the family and the ghost find peace and quiet. Directed by Bob Allen.

During an extended intermission, the audience will also enjoy a dessert buffet, sampling delectable desserts from area restaurants & bakeries, making this suspenseful evening truly “sweet!”

Sat, Oct 20, 7:30pm, Cincinnati Art Museum, 953 Eden Park Dr. Event parking is free. Special pricing for this one-night-only event: $35/adults $20/ages 13 and under. To reserve, call 513.399.6638, or go to www.newedgecliff.com.

Clifton Players’ A BRIGHT NEW BOISE Earns Two LCT Nominations

Kevin Crowley as Will & MaryKate Moran as Anna.

Panelists for the League of Cincinnati Theatres (LCT) have recognized the Clifton Players’ production of A BRIGHT NEW BOISE with LCT nominations for Ensemble Acting in a Play and Sound Design (David Levy) as well as distinguishing it as a recommended production.

Samuel D. Hunter’s A BRIGHT NEW BOISE is an earnest comedy about the meager profits of modern faith. In the bleak, corporate break room of a craft store in Idaho, someone is summoning The Rapture. Will, who has fled his rural hometown after a scandal at his Evangelical church, comes to the Hobby Lobby, not only for employment, but also to rekindle a relationship with Alex, his brooding teenage son, whom he gave up for adoption several years ago. As their manager, foul-mouthed Pauline, tries ceaselessly to find order (and profit) in the chaos of small business, these and other lost souls of the Hobby Lobby confront an unyielding world through the beige-tinted impossibility of modern faith.

Panelists thought the ensemble was “superb…a seamless, well balanced team”, “fresh ‘new faces’ who were engaging and played solidly”. David Levy’s “soundscape was textured, astoundingly detailed, realistic, and effective”. Overall, panelists recommended it as “a powerful, thought-provoking evening of theatre.”

A Bright New Boise continues through October 28th. Tickets can be purchased at http://cliftonperformancetheatre.com.

Final LCT awards will be determined at the end of the season and announced at the LCT gala in the spring.

The League of Cincinnati Theatres was founded in 1999 to strengthen, nurture and promote Cincinnati’s theatre community. LCT provides its member companies and individual members with education, resources and services to enhance the quality and exposure of the theatre community in Cincinnati and increase community awareness, attendance and involvement. More information about the League can be found at www.leagueofcincytheatres.com.
