West Price Hill

Directed by Tim Perrino
Music direction by Steve Goers
Choreographed by Molly O’Brien Peters

Official cast list |

Here is Rydell High’s senior class of 1959: duck-tailed, hot-rodding “Burger Palace Boys” and their gum-snapping, hip-shaking “Pink Ladies” in bobby sox and pedal pushers, evoking the look and sound of the 1950s in this rollicking musical. Head “greaser” Danny Zuko and new (good) girl Sandy Dumbrowski try to relive the high romance of their “Summer Nights” as the rest of the gang sings and dances its way through such songs as “Greased Lightnin'”, “It’s Raining on Prom Night”, “Alone at the Drive-In Movie” recalling the music of Buddy Holly, Little Richard and Elvis Presley that became the soundtrack of a generation.

TOIL AND TROUBLE Runs July 26-Aug. 24

KTC_Toil and TroubleTOIL AND TROUBLE
Presented by Know Theatre of Cincinnati
July 26-Aug. 24
Over-the-Rhine

Directed by Eric Vosmeier

Cast: Breona Conrad, Joshua Murphy & Chris Wesselman

Two ambitious young men and one badass lady fight the recession with dictatorial dreams and sketchy plans. Adam, Matt, and Beth are Bay Area 30-somethings with too much college education (and not enough employment) for their own good. Adam has a plethora of ideas, but none seem viable and all of them involve robots. But when three fortune cookies, delivered with their takeout, change the course of their lives, the trio settles for taking over a small island nation off the coast of Chile populated by… miniature vicuña? Seriously. Alliances form, friendships are tested, and murders are attempted. Did we mention this is a comedy? Production contains adult language and adult situations.
