Directed by Rebecca Baker

A romantic comedy set in the ‘50s, was later made into a movie with Spencer Tracy and Elizabeth Taylor. It all starts when Stanley Banks first hears that his daughter, Kay, is engaged. Everyone else is happy—they like Kay’s football-playing fiancé—but the news is a shock to Stanley.  He struggles not only with the chaos of a growing guest list, and florists and furniture movers taking over the house, but with the realization that his little girl has grown up.

MAD RIVER RISING Runs Oct. 17-Nov. 14

PIP_Mad River Rising promoMAD RIVER RISING
Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park
Oct. 17-Nov. 14
Eden Park

Directed by Blake Robison

Cast: Billy Finn as Spencer Eddy, Grant Goodman as Charlie Stewart, Rob Hogan as Angus Stewart, Ty Joseph Shelton as Young Angus/Nick Stewart, Sheila Tousey as Mae/Marie Cousino Stewart & Terry Weber as Hopley Stewart

Determined to save the land he loves, Angus Stewart escapes from his nursing home and is found hiding in the family barn. As a boy, the cantankerous 85-year-old witnessed his Ohio farmhouse wash away in the catastrophic flood of 1937. Now, the floodgates of progress are threatening to sweep it aside once again. Mad River Rising flows from past to present and remembered moments in between as its unforgettable characters wrestle with the uncompromising bonds of family, responsibility and legacy. What results is a poetic, poignant and utterly captivating drama.

Advisory: MAD RIVER RISING is appropriate for adults and teenage audiences. The show’s cantankerous protagonist has reached an age where he says whatever he wants, even when that results in slightly saltier language.

WAIT UNTIL DARK
Written by Frederick Knott
Directed by Patrick Downey
Stage Managed by Rachael Hawkins

September 18, 19, 20, 24, 25 & 26

A sinister con man, Roat, and two ex-convicts, Mike and Carlino, are about to meet their match. They have traced the location of a mysterious doll, which they are much interested in, to the Greenwich Village apartment of Sam Hendrix and his blind wife, Susy. Sam had apparently been persuaded by a strange woman to transport the doll across the Canadian border, not knowing that sewn inside were several grams of heroin. When the woman is murdered the situation becomes more urgent. The con man and his ex-convicts, through a cleverly constructed deception, convince Susy that the police have implicated Sam in the woman’s murder, and the doll, which she believes is the key to his innocence, is evidence. She refuses to reveal its location, and with the help of a young neighbor, figures out she is the victim of a bizarre charade. But when Roat kills his associates, a deadly game of cat and mouse ensues between the two. Susy knows the only way to play fair is by her rules, so when darkness falls she turns off all the lights leaving both of them to maneuver in the dark until the game ends.
