PIP_A Trip to BountifulTHE TRIP TO BOUNTIFUL
Presented by Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park

Cast: Lizan Mitchell as Carrie Watts, Tyrone Mitchell Henderson as Ludie Watts, Rachel Leslie as Jessie Mae Watts, Shannon Dorsey as Thelma, Doug Brown as Roy/Ensemble & Stephen Bradbury as Sheriff/Ticket Agent/As Cast

Trapped in a cramped Houston apartment with her son and his self-indulgent wife, Carrie Watts fantasizes about realizing her greatest ambition: returning to the Gulf Coast town of Bountiful and seeing her beloved childhood home one last time. Armed with her latest pension check, a wily stubbornness and limitless determination, Carrie embarks on the inspirational journey of a lifetime. Horton Foote’s gentle Southern humor shines anew, as an African-American cast offers a subtle new perspective on the universal themes of this life-affirming play.

PIP’s LEVELING UP Earns LCT Nomination

PIP_LevelingUp_1Panelists for the League of Cincinnati Theatres (LCT) have recognized Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park’s LEVELING UP with an LCT nomination for featured actor (Bobby Moreno), as well as distinguishing it as a recommended production.

Four 20-somethings struggle to transition from college to a “real” life that is rarely spent outside the glare of the video game monitors in their Las Vegas basement. What they find is a world of grown-up relationships that require levels of intimacy far beyond the social shield of technology. When one member of the circle is recruited by the NSA to pilot remote missiles, he’s ill-equipped to handle the moral ambiguities raised in this thought-provoking and often humorous world premiere about a generation straddling the fuzzy line between reality and virtual reality.

Panelists praised Bobby Moreno as Chuck, saying he gave the play “life and heart”; he was “the glue that held the show together.” Overall, the panelists thought the show was “an interesting look into the minds of today’s youth”: “thought-provoking”…”a tight and emotional ride”.

LEVELING UP continues through March 10th. Tickets can be purchased at www.cincyplay.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.
