One of the most respected comedians in the country, Brian Regan is a legendary performer selling out large venues from coast to coast, and earning praise from the press, the public, and fellow comedians:

“He is one of my favorite, favorite stand-up comedians.” – Jerry Seinfeld

“Honestly, Brian Regan’s the best stand-up working today. Period.” – Patton Oswalt

“You’re the guy people look up to…Brian Regan’s the funniest guy…there’s Brian Regan and then there’s other people.” – Marc Maron

“I’ll take all of that guy you got…Very funny man.” – David Letterman

With his first appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman in 1995, Regan solidified his place on the show and recently made his 26th appearance, the most of any comedian on the CBS show.

Regan’s non-stop theater tour visits close to 100 cities each year since 2005, and continues through 2014. Last August, Regan sold out the legendary, 8600-seat Red Rocks Amphitheater outside of Denver, and in February 2014, Regan performed two sold-out shows at the 12,500-seat EnergySolutions Arena in Salt Lake City.

Occasionally venturing off the stand-up stage, Regan recently appeared in Seinfeld’s Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. He will also be seen in the upcoming Chris Rock movie Finally Famous, and he voiced the character of Weib Lunk for the 40th episode of The Looney Tunes Show titled, Spread Those Wings and Fly. Recently, Regan was nominated for a 2014 American Comedy Award for Best Concert Comic.

DEARLY BELOVED Runs May 10-18

SC_Dearly BelovedDEARLY BELOVED
Presented by Stagecrafters Inc.
May 10-18
Sharonville

Directed by Michael L. Morehead

Cast: Kevin Noll, Cynthia Ballard Mottel, Renee Maria, Nancy Marchese, Eric Thomas, Richard Zenk, Elizabeth Beatty Penrod, Marcia Nugent Grant, Ray Lebowski, Traci Taylor & Betty Coulter

The Futrelle sisters, Frankie, Honey Rae and Twink, are throwing a wedding. Frankie has almost made herself sick with elaborate preparations for her daughter Tina Jo’s antebellum inspired wedding and the rumor mill in their small town of Fayro, Texas, is working overtime. No surprise there, the Futrelle Sisters have never been strangers to gossip. After all, they did survive the scandalous break-up of their almost-famous gospel singing trio, the Sermonettes. In spite of her own marital problems, Frankie has held steadfastly to the hope that she could pull off one “final Futrelle occasion” with style and elegance, with the help of the cantankerous wedding coordinator, Miss Geneva, who runs the local flower shop/bus depot. But on the day of the nuptials Frankie’s hope begins to dim. Will the wedding come off without a hitch and what has Clovis Sanford’s House of Meat got to do with it? Will the Sermonettes reunite? You’ll just have to see this rollicking comedy to find out.

Women in Theatre (WIT) and St. John UCC in Bellevue, Ky. Combine Forces for WALTER CRONKITE IS DEAD

Donna Hoffman, Director of WIT.

Donna Hoffman, Director of WIT.

WIT-Women in Theatre, a professional, non-union, acting company, and St. John United Church of Christ at 520 Fairfield Ave., Bellevue, KY, are co-producing the first of many stage productions.

The first offering is WALTER CRONKITE IS DEAD by Joe Calarco, a comedy/drama that, according to Dramatist Play Service, “expertly unspools two very different stories not to pick at where they conflict but instead to lay bare where they closely align.” Patty (played by Cate White) is chatty and is almost incapable of silence. Margaret (played by Cat Cook) has no intention of sharing her thoughts or her table. The conversation and action that pursues is funny, difficult, deeply revealing and astonishingly frank. Yes, Walter Cronkite is dead, but his wisdom and compassion lives on.

Mr. Calarco wrote CRONKITE primarily because of his concern for the lack of civil discourse in our society.

Donna Hoffman, the Director of WIT-Women in Theatre, formed the acting troupe in 2012 because of the lack of plays featuring substantial, non-stereotypical roles for women and she wanted to direct plays written by, for, and about women. Ms. Hoffman has a BFA in Theatre/Performance and Directing, a BA in English Literature, an MEd in Secondary Education, and Special Certification to teach Gifted and Talented people

WALTER CRONKITE IS DEAD opens on Friday, April 25, at 8:00pm. The doors open at 7:30pm on the parking lot side of the building. Subsequent performances are on Saturday, April 26, Friday, May 2, and Saturday, May 3.

A special performance in the sanctuary of the church is on Sunday, April 27, at 1:00 pm with the doors open at 12:30pm. This special performance is for those who cannot do steps and those with hearing impairment. This performance will be signed for the deaf.

The cost of this professional performance is only $15. And, if you bring a piece of luggage that is bigger than a carry-on to any of the Friday or Saturday night performances you will get a rebate of $5 at the door. This offer applies only to those who order their tickets in advance by phone or email.

Order your tickets by calling the box office at 859-441-6882 or by emailing wit.women.in.theatre@gmail.com.
