LOVE RIDES THE RAILS For One More Weekend

TDW_Love Rides the Rails1(CHEVIOT, OHIO) The Drama Workshop’s production of “Love Rides the Rails” is on track for one more weekend at The Glenmore Playhouse this coming weekend. The show opened to large audiences opening weekend, selling out Saturday night. Ticket sales for the remaining performances are brisk.

“Love Rides the Rails” is an old-style melodrama, with strong heroes, lovely damsels in distress, and dastardly villains who will do anything to con a widow out of her stake in the Cheviot, Westwood and Dent Railroad. It’s family-friendly fare that will delight people of all ages.

Audiences from the opening weekend raved about the production. Milford resident Renee Maria gushed, “What a fun experience from the minute we walked into the lobby! Thank you!” Fellow patron Deb Joyner Dennemann agreed. “This was a great matinee,” she said. “We had the best time. What a fun day! This was the first time we’ve been here, but we will go to the Glenmore Playhouse again!”

Part of the excitement for “Love Rides the Rails” is that TDW encourages the audience to participate in the fun. Patrons will be coached to boo at the villains, and cheer the heroes during the performance. Pre-show activities includes face-painting for the kids (so you can get your own dastardly mustache) and a photo booth. Popcorn is available before the show and during intermission for use as ‘ammunition’ to throw at the villains during the performance.

“Love Rides the Rails” continues August 9 through 11. Showtimes are 8 pm on August 9 and 10; matinees will be held August 10 and 11 at 2 pm. All tickets are $15, and reservations are strongly recommended. Tickets may be reserved through the TDW ticket line at 513.598.8303 or through the website at www.thedramaworkshop.org.

Season tickets are also available at the price of $50 for a four-show package, or $60 for a five-show package. Interested parties may inquire at the TDW ticket line, listed above. Other shows in TDW’s 2013-2014 season are Nunsense (October 2013), A 1940’s Radio Christmas Carol (December 2013), Twelve Angry Men (March 2014), and Suite Surrender (May 2014).
