LAC_Dixie Swim ClubTHE DIXIE SWIM CLUB
Presented by La Comedia Dinner Theatre
Jan. 17-March 3
Springboro

Reviews: Dayton Examiner |

Five Southern women, whose friendships began many years ago on their college swim team, set aside a long weekend every August to recharge those relationships. Free from husbands, kids and jobs, they meet at the same beach cottage on North Carolina’s Outer Banks to catch up, laugh, and meddle in each other’s lives.

THE DIXIE SWIM CLUB focuses on four of those weekends and spans a period of thirty-three years. As their lives unfold and the years pass, these women increasingly rely on one another to get through the challenges that life flings at them.

Auditions are

  • Friday, January 11, 2013 from 4-9pm

Characters include:

 

  • Katerina – German immigrant girl who arrives in Cincinnati with her family around 1848
  • Conner – Young Irish immigrant who arrives in Cincinnati in 1852
  •  Bessie – Former slave who walked from her home in Alabama to Cincinnati in 1866

History comes to life with CINCINNATI: CITY OF IMMIGRANTS, written by celebrated playwright, Joseph McDonough. The story follows six fictional characters that immigrated to Cincinnati over a 150-year period. German, Irish, African-American, Jewish, Appalachian, and Hispanic characters weave together their common experiences-meeting new people, encountering discrimination, overcoming adversity, and bringing parts of their culture to a new home.

CINCINNATI: CITY OF IMMIGRANTS is the perfect forum for both students and members of the community to learn about regional history and gain a perspective and insight into other cultures.

Mariemont Players presents MOONLIGHT AND MAGNOLIAS, a comedy by Ron Hutchinson, at the Walton Creek Theater, 4101 Walton Creek Road (just East of Mariemont), January 11th through January 27th, 2013.

It’s 1939 and legendary Hollywood producer David O. Selznick has shut down production on his new epic, “Gone With the Wind.” Selznick pulls in famed screenwriter Ben Hecht and formidable director Victor Fleming for a complete script rewrite. On a hilarious, yet sometimes emotional roller coaster, they labor behind locked doors over five days to fashion a screenplay that will become the blueprint for one of the most successful and beloved films of all time.

MOONLIGHT AND MAGNOLIAS is directed by Dee Anne Bryll , produced by Ed Cohen, and features A.J. Ford as Victor Fleming, John Langley as David O. Selznick, Joel Lind as Ben Hecht and Rilla Foster as Miss Poppenghul.

Performances will be at 8:00pm on January 10th (preview), January 11th, January 12th, January 17th, January 18th, January 19th, January 24th and January 25th; at 7:00pm on January 13th; at 2:00pm & 7:00pm on January 20th; at 4:00pm & 8:00pm on January 26th; and at 2:00pm on January 27th.

For more information or to order tickets for Moonlight and Magnolias, call Betsy at 513-684-1236. All seats are reserved and cost $17 each; non-reserved seats for the preview only are $10 each.
