SUMMERLAND Runs Feb. 4-March 5

pip_summerland-logoSUMMERLAND
Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park
Feb. 4-March 5
Thompson Shelterhouse [Eden Park]

Directed by Michael Evan Haney

Cast: Whitney Maris Brown as Mrs. Mumler, Billy Finn as Joseph Tooker & Michael Rothhaar as William H. Mumler

Based on mesmerizing true events, SUMMERLAND tells the riveting tale of William H. Mumler, a spirit photographer with a talent for taking haunting images of the dead. Set in 1869, the story follows Mumler’s meteoric rise and fall, from his wildly successful studio business, which boasted Mary Todd Lincoln as a client, to his indictment for fraud. Did Mumler really capture the visits of loved ones from beyond the grave? Or were his living subjects the victims of unspeakable deception meant to prey upon their longing to believe? SUMMERLAND is a gripping and suspenseful world premiere in which the camera provides an invitation to the truth between two worlds. SUMMERLAND is appropriate for adult and teenage audiences. It contains minimal adult language, but the play’s supernatural themes may be too spooky for younger audiences.

Xenia Area Community Theatre
Feb. 3-12
Xenia 

Directed by Cheryl Dern

Cast: Sandy Coleman as Doris & Wayne Wolfe as George

New Jersey accountant George Peters and Oakland housewife Doris meet at a Northern California inn in February 1951. They have an affair, and agree to meet once a year, despite the fact both are married to others and have six children between them. Over the course of the next 24 years, they develop an emotional intimacy deeper than what one would expect to find between two people meeting for a clandestine relationship just once a year. During the time they spend with each other, they discuss the births, deaths, and marital problems each is experiencing at home, while they adapt themselves to the social changes affecting their lives.
