CINCINNATI, OH – May 21, 2015 – The season will open with Terrence McNally’s Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune and will continue with The Santaland Diaries by Joe Mantello based on the writings of David Sedaris and The Shape of Things by Neil LaBute. “These plays are about how people see the world and how each person’s view can affect another’s,” says Producing Artistic Director Jim Stump. “Our perceptions of our world are constantly evolving. And more often than not, it’s the people in our lives who change them … for better or for worse.”
In addition to their regular season, New Edgecliff Theatre will also produce their annual Sweet Suspense Radio Drama Fundraiser this year featuring the classic suspense story of Strangers on a Train. This special performance directed by New Edgecliff Theatre’s Artistic Associate Bob Allen will feature live sound effects from Radio Heritage’s Mike Martini and special dessert buffet.
