CCM’s award-winning Musicals Redux series returns with a gem from the storehouse of forgotten American musicals. Based upon the play The Rainmaker by N. Richard Nash, 110 IN THE SHADE tells the tale of Lizzie Curry, a forthright “old maid” living on a ranch with her father and brothers in the American southwest. When a charismatic con man posing as a rainmaker promises to bring relief to the drought-stricken area, he awakens new feelings of love and self-discovery in the heart of the lonely woman. With a lush score by the composers of The Fantasticks, 110 IN THE SHADE is a lovely reminder of the “Golden Age” of American Musical Theatre.

Admission is free, but reservations are required. Tickets become available at noon on Monday, April 6. Visit the CCM Box Office or call 513-556-4183 to reserve. Limit two tickets per order.

Know Theatre Welcomes Back THE LEGEND OF WHITE WOMAN CREEK For Fringe Encore March 13 & 14

KNOW THEATRE welcomes back
THE LEGEND OF WHITE WOMAN CREEK for Cincy Fringe Encore Performances!

The ghost of Anna Morgan Faber will be summoned
to perform her thirteen­-song cycle on March 13th and 14th.

CFF_The Legend of White Woman CreekTHE LEGEND OF WHITE WOMAN CREEK is a presentation for lovers of music, ghost stories, and the North American West, a tale told from the perspective of a spirit who cannot rest until she sings the record straight. Created by The Coldharts (Katie Hartman and Nick Ryan), THE LEGEND OF WHITE WOMAN CREEK is a one­ woman music ­theater piece inspired by a ghost story from Western Kansas. It weaves a narrative through thirteen original folk songs based on the traditional music that first inspired Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan, and Joan Baez. With only her guitar and powerful voice, Katie evokes the desolation of the Kansas plains, the oppressive times, the brutal conflict between two warring people, and the small joys one manages to find amidst such turmoil.

THE LEGEND OF WHITE WOMAN CREEK appeared at the 2014 Cincinnati Fringe Festival and captivated audiences in the basement of MOTR Pub on Main Street. Know Theatre and the Cincy Fringe are thrilled and delighted to welcome back this talented group from New York City and invite you to join us and experience this truly one-of-a-kind performance. This will mark the 76th and 77th performance of The Legend of White Woman Creek. The piece premiered at the 2012 Twin Cities Horror Festival in Minneapolis and has been performed across the United States and Canada, including other Fringe Festivals in New York City, Toronto, Winnipeg, Edmonton, and Vancouver.

Video: VANYA AND SONIA AND MASHA AND SPIKE: Getting to Know Cassandra (Torie Wiggins)

VTA_Vanya and sonia and marsha and spike promoAward-winning playwright Christopher Durang has created a witty and incisive new farce for our modern hyperconnected world. In bucolic Bucks County, PA, Vanya and Sonia have frittered their lives away in their family’s farmhouse full of regret, angst and the alarmingly ambiguous prophecies of their addled housecleaner Cassandra. Enter their sister, self-absorbed movie star Masha, with her prized 20-something boy toy Spike, and the stage is set for an absurd weekend of general hilarity and global warming.

Performances run March 10-22. For more information on this production, click here.
