A Restoration Comedy with a twist, the rake Whitestone, after faking his own death, finds his escape plans interrupted when he learns that every beautiful woman in town wept at his funeral. He chooses to stay and seduce the ladies by appearing as his own ghost, but the townsfolk believe him to be an angel, and soon all of the women are hoping to be divinely inspired by this messenger of God. When a visitor who is truly from beyond arrives, however, the town will never be the same.

ENCORE, ENCORE
Presented by Northern Kentucky University as part of the Y.E.S. Festival
April 16-25
Highland Heights

Directed by Ed Cohen

Cast: Victoria Hawley as Dorothy Parker, Hunter Henrickson as Edwin Pond Parker II, Connor Moulton as Robert Benchley, Andrew Wiemann as Robert Sherwood, Chandler Taylor as Frank Crowinshield, Melissa Cathcart as Other Women &.Andy Burns as Other Men

A bittersweet tragicomedy about the legendary wit and caustic critic, Dorothy Parker. ENCORE, ENCORE traces Parker’s turbulent marriage and the pain it caused through to the meteoric rise of her career as a drama critic. Her fight comes at a price, positioning Dorothy to live in public denial of her painful personal life and stapling her inexorably to a witty, unabashed public persona that is not allowed the luxury of emotion. The play paints a deeply vulnerable portrait of a woman forced to live her life in the spotlight.
