The Passing of Bill Winkler

Dear Friends,

I are very sad to report that Bill Winkler has passed away. Bill was a dedicated and hard working member of Footlighters who was always available for any job who needed a volunteer.

He was humble and loved fixing and building sets for all our productions. We will miss his kindness and generosity in helping in the upkeep of our Stained Glass Theatre.

We send our deepest condolences to the Winkler family.

Visitation services will be on Wednesday, June 20th from 5:00-7:00pm with a memorial service at 7:00pm at Dalbert, Woodruff, Isenogle Funeral Home: 2880 Boudinot Avenue, Cincinnati, OH 45238. Burial will be at a later time for immediate family only. His obituary can be seen at http://www.funeralplan2.com/dw&isenoglefuneralhome/Obituaries?id=243629

Sincerely,
Freida Houck

There will be a celebration of his life held at the Glenmore Playhouse, home to The Drama Workshop, after the service at the funeral home. Please come and tell you great stories about working with Bill.

Glenmore Playhouse (formerly the Glenmore Bowling Alley) is at the corner of Glenmore and Gamble Ave. one block down from Harrison Ave.

Actor Needed for BELOVED MY FRIEND

Friends of Marjorie Book Continuing Education –

We are currently looking for someone to act in a few small roles in our current play production, BELOVED MY FRIEND, by Nancy Pahl Gilsenan, about two pen pals from the United States and Zimbawbe. We have a $250 stipend to offer the actor. The actor could be male or female, but we need them to be able to step into roles quickly and be flexible.

We have about 5 evening rehearsals over the next 10 days, and then we take a break from June 20 – July 6. We start up again on July 6 and rehearse and perform every night the following week, ending altogether on July 13.

Anyone interested should drop Joe Link a line at linkj@xavier.edu, and we can talk further.

Thanks, as always, for your support of Marjorie Book’s theater program.

Saturday Morning Road Closure Information for OCTAFest

There is a race on Saturday morning near Miami University Hamilton. There will be some street closures: both University and Williams will be closed and part of Neilan.

The man in charge of the race logistics says they will be allowing cars to travel on University if they enter from Knightsbridge.

The roads should only be closed from 7am-10am so hopefully it won’t be too much of a hassle. If people come down Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd, they would normally enter from Knightsbridge.

Those coming from Hamilton/Pleasant Avenue will need to continue on a few blocks and turn left on Knightsbridge.

Showboat’s ARSENIC AND OLD LACE Earns LCT Nomination

Panelists for the League of Cincinnati Theatres (LCT) have recognized the Showboat Majestic’s ARSENIC AND OLD LACE with a nomination for scenic design.

ARSENIC AND OLD LACE is an American comedy classic, in which we meet the charming and innocent old ladies, the Brewster sisters, who populate their cellar with the remains of socially and religiously “acceptable” roomers; the antics of their brother who thinks he is Teddy Roosevelt; and the murderous activities of another brother while the younger brother Mortimer is trying to get married to a regular girl.

Matt Lape was nominated for scenic design. Panelists thought it was an “impressive” and “ingenious” use of space, which made “every inch of it workable for the actors”.

ARSENIC AND OLD LACE continues through July 1st. Tickets can be purchased at http://www.cincinnatilandmarkproductions.com/sbm.

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