LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS
Presented by UC College-Conservatory of Music
Oct. 11-13
University Heights

Directed by Thom Christopher Warren
Music directed by Ryan Shirar
Choreographed by Joey Dippel

Based on the low-budget film directed by Roger Corman, LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS is a comedy-horror-rock musical about a hapless florist who raises a plant that feeds on human blood. With a score in the style of 1960s rock and roll, doo-wop and Motown, the show “satirizes many things: science fiction, ‘B’ movies, musical comedy itself, and even the Faust legend.” It won the New York Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Musical, the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Musical and the Outer Critics Circle Award, becoming the third-longest running musical and the highest-grossing production in Off-Broadway history. Come and see – but please, don’t feed the plant!

Admission is free, but reservations are required. Tickets become available at noon on Monday, Oct. 8. Visit the CCM Box Office or call 513-556-4183 to reserve. Limit two tickets per order.

MRS. MANNERLY
Presented by Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati

Over-the-Rhine

Reviews: CityBeat | Enquirer | iSpyCincy |

Local media: Enquirer article | WVXU interview |

Directed by Ed Stern

Cast: Raymond McAnally as Jeffrey & Dale Hodges as Mrs. Mannerly

REGIONAL PREMIERE. This irreverent, yet poignant comedy is inspired by the hilarious memories of a childhood etiquette class, wherein playwright Jeffrey Hatcher conjures up the world of a ten-year-old studying manners. Set in 1967, Mrs. Mannerly is a demanding teacher, and no student in her thirty-six years of etiquette classes has ever achieved a perfect score. But, when he discovers her secret past, Young Jeffrey is determined to be the first to achieve this feat. This unique comic tale reveals truths about the face we present and the real selves that lie inside.

Will Nick abandon family to pursue a glamorous and exciting career move, the opportunity he has hoped for?
