Featuring Kathleen Wise

Directed by Michael Evan Haney

An unexpected pregnancy ends an ace fighter pilot’s career in the sky. Reassigned to operate remote-controlled military drones in the Middle East from a windowless trailer outside Las Vegas, she hunts terrorists by day and returns to her family each night. As the pressure to track a high-profile target mounts, the boundaries between the desert in which she lives and the one she patrols half a world away begin to blur. The struggle to navigate her dual identities may be her toughest mission yet. Content advisory: This production contains adult language may not be suitable for all audiences.

IPHIGENIA AND OTHER DAUGHTERS on Jan. 25

SHE_Imphigenia and Other Daughters logo2IPHIGENIA AND OTHER DAUGHTERS
SHEatre: Cincinnati Women’s Theatre
Jan. 25
Cincinnati Shakespeare Company [Downtown]

Directed Caitlin McWethy

Cast: Torie Wiggins, Sarah Fischer, Tess Talbot, Petrea Whittier & Patrick E. Phillips

Staged reading. This three-play cycle is a modern retelling of the fall of the House of Atreus. It follows the children of Clytemnestra and Agamemnon, siblings who are both players in the family tragedy and victims of it. The cycle  of blood and vengeance seems inescapable until the final reunion of a lost sister and brother brings the bloody family saga to its mystical and unlikely end.

NATIVE GARDENS Runs Jan. 23-Feb. 21

PIP_Native Gardens logoNATIVE GARDENS
Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park
Jan. 23-Feb. 21
Eden Park

Directed by Blake Robison

Cast: Karen Ziemba as Virginia Capanini Butley, John Lescault as Frank Butley, Gabriel Ruiz as Pablo Del Valle & Sabina Zuniga Varela as Tania Del Valle
Landscape technicians: Xavier Blanco, Miguel Casanova, Darlene Estela & Michael Urriquia

Gardens and cultures clash, turning friendly neighbors into feuding enemies in this funny world premiere by the author of The Book Club Play. Pablo, a high-powered lawyer, and doctoral candidate Tania, his very pregnant wife, are realizing the American dream when they purchase a house next door to community stalwarts Virginia and Frank. But a disagreement over a longstanding fence line soon spirals into an all-out war of taste, class, privilege and entitlement. The hilarious results guarantee no one comes out smelling like a rose. Advisory: NATIVE GARDENS is appropriate for adults and teenage audiences.
