Beechmont Players, Inc. announces its 2014-15 season
ANDERSON TOWNSHIP – JANUARY 21, 2014 – Beechmont Players, Inc. (BPI) is proud to announce its 2014-15 season, which contains a mix of farcical comedy – including a U.S. premiere – and drama.
Crazy Horses by Mark Norman: Oct. 17-25, 2014
BPI kicks off its season with the U.S. premiere of the British comedy Crazy Horses, directed by husband and wife duo James and Sarah Updike. Heaven is in chaos. The Department of the Apocalypse is in shambles, overheads are rocketing and the lead time on mortality isn’t cost-efficient. Some consultants have suggested God shakes things up a bit by swapping the roles of the Horsemen – or, rather, Horsepeople – of the Apocalypse. But that only brings its own set of problems.
Move Over, Mrs. Markham by Ray Cooney and John Chapman: Feb. 20-28, 2015
In a farce directed by Vern Burns, filled with mistaken identities and misunderstandings, Mr. and Mrs. Markham have only one bedroom in their apartment. Against his better judgment, Mr. Markham allows his friend, Mr. Lodge, to borrow the bedroom for one evening to engage in a romance. Against her better judgment, Mrs. Markham allows Mrs. Lodge to borrow the bedroom for an evening with someone else. Here’s the catch – it’s the same evening.
Inherit the Wind by Jerome Lawrence and Robert Edwin Lee: May 8-16, 2015
Directed by Jerry Wiesenhahn, Inherit the Wind, a drama drawn largely from the Scopes Monkey Trial, examines the story of a teacher who is tried for teaching evolution to his class. The teachings of Darwinism and the Bible clash with each other as two powerful lawyers battle their respective sides in court.
BPI presents its shows at the Anderson Center Theatre (7850 Five Mile Road, Cincinnati, Ohio 45230). Single tickets are $15 general admission and $13 students, seniors and active military.
