CRIMES OF THE HEART Runs May 9-17

SC_Crimes of the Heart logoCRIMES OF THE HEART
Presented by Stagecrafters
May 9-17
Sharonville

Directed by Michael L. Morehead

Cast: Elizabeth Beatty, Kate Brauer-Bell, Michael Gettinger, Russ D. McGee, Liz Nelson Wyan & Amanda Wilson.

Warm-hearted, irreverent, zany and brilliantly imaginative, the play teems with humanity and humor as it examines the plight of three young Mississippi sisters betrayed by their passions. In the end the play is the story of how its young characters escape the past to seize the future-but the telling is so true and touching and consistently hilarious that it will linger in the mind long after the curtain has descended.

HENRY V
Presented by Cincinnati Shakespeare Company
May 8-30
Downtown

Directed by Brian Isaac Phillips

Cast: Geoffrey Warren Barnes II, Billy Chance, Sara Clark, Giles Davies, Frank Delaney, Jeremy Dubin, Andrew Gehrlein, Jim Hopkins, Josh Katawick, Courtney Lucien, Justin McCombs, Miranda McGee, Caitlin McWethy, Paul Riopelle, Nicholas Rose, Tess Talbot & Brent Vimtrup

The prodigal Prince Hal has cast off the unruly ways and unruly companions of his youth, and has ascended to the throne of England. But the civil wars that allowed his father, Henry IV, to ascend to the throne, have taken their toll. The country is bankrupt, and civil unrest bubbles just under the surface, threatening to erupt again. In order to refill the royal coffers and unify the country against a common enemy, the young King Henry sets his sights on the conquest of France. But his fervent army of nobles and commoners soon find themselves in hostile territory, surrounded and woefully outnumbered. At the center of Shakespeare’s history cycle, and featuring some of the most powerful oratory in the canon, Henry V tells the unforgettable tale of those few, those happy few, that band of brothers who stood up against overwhelming odds to fight for God, King and Country. Don’t miss this history cycle favorite, as Shakespeare’s game of thrones continues.

TWELVE ANGRY JURORS Runs May 8-24

The Cast of TWELVE ANGRY JURORS.

The Cast of TWELVE ANGRY JURORS.

TWELVE ANGRY JURORS
Presented by Mariemont Playerse Inc.
May 8-24
Mariemont

Directed by Dan Maloney
Produced by Laura Bathe

Cast: Jamie Ball as Foreman, Caitlyn Maurmeier as Juror #2, Bill Hartnett as Juror #3, Patrick Kramer as Juror #4, Tony Wright as Juror #5, Barbara Karol as Juror #6, Cathy Roesenor as Juror #7, Arny Stoller as Juror #8, Naz Khodadad as Juror #9, Tom Storey as Juror #10, Art Kibby as Juror #11, Jim Black as Juror #12 & Jennifer Rhodes as Baliff

A 19-year old man has just stood trial for the fatal stabbing of his father. “He doesn’t stand a chance,” mutters the guard as the 12 jurors are taken into the bleak jury room. It looks like an open-and- shut case – until one of the jurors begins opening the others’ eyes to the facts. One of the jurors says, “We should not make it a personal thing.” But personal it does become, with each juror revealing his or her own character as the various testimonies are re-examined, the murder is re-enacted, and a new murder threat is born before their eyes!
