Take an award winning veteran stage actress like Dale Hodges, have her direct a play by Pulitzer Prize Winning writer Will Eno and showcase it in one of Cincinnati’s most intimate theatre’s and you have the makings of a top theatrical treat of the season. The award winning Hodges takes a turn in the directors chair with THE REALISTIC JONESES at the Clifton Performance Theatre. Hodges was last seen at CPT in the pivotal role of family matriarch Violet in August: Osage County.
THE REALISTIC JONESES is a voyzeaurs “up close and personal” view of the family next door and their relationships. Two couples both named Jones, get to know on another amid fear, loneliness, all wrapped inside unspoken love. A peak into one small town, and, perhaps everyone’s reality. Part comedy, part drama, this four character play reveals the secrets one only whispers.
The play opens with the meeting of the Jonses. Veteran CPT actor Carter Bratton is joined by Mindy Siebert, Miranda McGee and Phil Fiorini for this exchange of secrets, lies, laughs, and sometimes tragic truths. Cincinnati born Florin cut his acting chops on the Chicago stage and made his Cincinnati acting debut in 2007, when he played Pumbaa the warthog in the national tour of “The Lion King” at the Aronoff.
CPT continues to bring in the best local actors, equity and non-equity.The play opens January 21 and runs through February 7. The Clifton Performance Theatre is located in the Clifton Gaslight District at 404 Ludlow Ave., Cincinnati, OH 45220.
