What does family mean to you?
From the award-winning playwright of Love! Valour! Compassion! comes a gripping new drama about change, reconciliation and what it means to be a family. Cal and his husband Will have built a happy life with their 6-year-old child. Then the mother of Cal’s former lover makes a surprise visit to their Manhattan home — 20 years after her son’s untimely death. She’s a vibrant reminder of how much and how little has changed for a generation of gay men facing a future they never imagined. A 2014 Tony nominee for best play. Advisory: Appropriate for adults and older teenage audiences. It’s a lovely story of reconciliation, but it does contain some strong adult language and other mature themes.

Mariemont Players presents Hay Fever, a comedy by Noël Coward, at the Walton Creek Theater, 4101 Walton Creek Road (just East of Mariemont), March 4th through March 20th, 2016.
Unconventional, risqué, and often downright rude, the Blisses are everything an upper-crust English family should not be. This is made abundantly clear when each family member invites a guest for the weekend. Alliances form, affairs begin, and formality is thrown to the wind. Noël Coward’s perfect comedy will send you home laughing.
Hay Fever is directed by jef brown, produced by Wayne Kirsch & Amy Stier, and features the talents of Kenny Tessel, Barbara Karol, Mitch Worden, Elizabeth Beatty, Lon Nease, Jeanette Tacon, Bryce Wilson, Darcy Schwass, and Jan Costello.
Performances will be:

CINCINNATI, OH – The acclaimed, award-winning PBS KIDS® television show, WILD KRATTS, is coming to the live stage. The Cincinnati Arts Association is proud to present Wild Kratts LIVE! at the Aronoff Center’s Procter & Gamble Hall on Saturday, April 16 for two shows only at 1:00 PM and 4:30 PM. The much-anticipated show is part of CAA’S 2015-16 Season, celebrating the 20th Anniversary of the Aronoff Center.
Tickets are on sale now at CincinnatiArts.org, (513) 621-ARTS [2787], and the Aronoff Center Ticket Office. Tickets are $25, $35, and $45, plus applicable service fees (ticket prices/fees subject to change).
In this live version of the wildly popular PBS KIDS® television show, animated Kratt Brothers, Martin and Chris, “come to real life” in a classically Wild Kratts story. Off “to the Creature Rescue,” the Emmy-nominated Kratt Brothers activate some fan favorite Creature Power Suits to confront a comic villain. Through hilarious pratfalls and amazing animal “wow facts,” the Wild Kratts team rescues their favorite invention from Zach’s clutches so the animals of the creature world are safe once again.
Wild Kratts LIVE! is created for the stage by the imaginative minds of Martin Kratt and Chris Kratt from Zooboomafoo, Kratt’s Creatures, and Be the Creature. The Kratt Brothers’ national tours draw tens of thousands of creature-crazy kids and their families and the not-for-profit Kratt Brothers Creature Hero Society, together with kids, has successfully protected critical wildlife habitats through the creation of nature reserves.
In its fourth season, Wild Kratts was created and developed by real life brothers and zoologists Martin and Chris Kratt (both nominated for Daytime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Writing in a Children’s Animated Series). Wild Kratts features the brothers on incredible expeditions to meet wild creatures from the far corners of the earth, diving into the habitats of these unusual animals with the use of futuristic technology and Creature Powers Suits that allow the brothers to take their funny and exciting adventures to where they’ve never gone before. Wild Kratts has received numerous awards since its inception in 2011, including Parents Choice, Kidscreen, Aurora, and two Emmy nominations. The series is a co-production of The Kratt Brothers Company and 9 Story Entertainment.
