Cast Announced for THE FISHERMAN’S WIFE at Know Theatre of Cincinnati

KTC_The Fisherman's Wife CastKnow Theatre has one more MainStage trick up its sleeve before we put Season 18 to bed.

That’s right, after the Fringe, you still have one more MainStage adventure to enjoy–and, trust us, it’s like nothing you’ve seen at the Know (or anywhere else) before!

Our own Andrew Hungerford takes the helm of THE FISHERMAN’S WIFE–a sex farce…with sea creatures.

Joining him is a cast of comedic powerhouses sure to keep him (and you) on your toes.

Miranda McGee (currently onstage as Margie in Silent Sky) is joined by Cal Harris (making his MainStage debut, after being seen in Serials: Roundhouse over the summer). Returning to the Know for his Season 18 hat-trick is James Creque, whose comedic chops you enjoyed in All Childish Things and whose tender side you witnessed in Hundred Days. And two old friends from OTRimprov round out the cast as the aforementioned sea creatures: Eileen Earnest and Andrew Ian Adams.

Synopsis: Vanessa’s and Cooper’s marriage is on the rocks. She wants adventure. He needs to fish.

Throw in a pair of magical sea creatures with Erotomania and an “Alternatively Attractive” traveling salesman who might have just the cure to what ails you, and you are in for a wild night by the seashore.

Playwright Steve Yockey (Pluto) draws inspiration from famous Japanese erotic woodcut, The Dream of the Fisherman’s Wife, to craft a story that’s naughty, hilarious, and a little shocking.

And did we mention puppets?

Actors Needed for A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE at WIT-Women in Theatre

MISC_Casting call2WIT-Women in Theatre has two roles available for A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE which goes up on July 15 and runs 16, 22, 23 as Summer Dinner Theatre at The Avenue Stage in Bellevue, KY.  This is your invitation to join a talented and experienced cast of mature actors on a minimalist set in the present time.

The male role is The Collector which is a wonderful role for a young man who looks 18.  This is a role that looks great on any resume.  In WITs production, The Collector is shown as the ghost of Blanche’s dead husband.  This role might be filmed rather than played out on stage.

The female role is Eunice Hubbard, Stanley and Stella Kowalski’s upstairs landlord.  Eunice and her husband, Steve, are a volatile couple who represent where Stanley and Stella could be 15 years in the future.  She is Stella’s friend and confidant, someone Stella runs to easily and often.  The actress who plays Eunice should be able to play someone in her 40’s-50’s.

All inquiries should go to the Director, Donna Hoffman, Sumytra@fioptics.com
