Glenmore Playhouse [Cheviot]

Directed by Ray Lebowski

Cast: Eric Thomas as Walter Bryce, Jeff Nieman as Vincent, Rusty Lacy as Celia Bryce, Elizabeth Beatty as Angie & Adam Drake as Withers

This is a laugh-out-loud tale of Vincent and his unusual occupation as a “professional suicide merchant.” When Vincent is invited to Walter’s lovely country house to assist in the disposal of Walter’s wife, Celia, he senses something is wrong. Why are the suicide notes unsigned? What is the role of Walter’s attractive secretary? Why has the Samaritan been sent for? Will any of them die, willingly or unwillingly, from natural causes?

CMC’s Insights Lecture Series: COSTUMES, COSMETICS, AND CONTEXT CLUES: BRINGING A CHARACTER TO LIFE on Sept. 19

CMC_Insights Lecture Series logo

With Melanie Mortimore, Costume Designer at Playhouse in the Park, Miranda McGee, Associate Artist and Residential Ensemble Member at Cincinnati Shakespeare Company and Amber Johnson, Educator and Make-Up FX Artist at the Art Academy of Cincinnati

7pm on Tue, Sept. 19, 2017 at the Cincinnati Shakespeare Company

This is a FREE lecture, but reservations are required at http://www.cincymuseum.org/content/insights-lecture-series

How do theatres create original characters and communicate their personalities to the audience, or take iconic roles and make them their own? Cincinnati Shakespeare Company is working in conjunction with Cincinnati Museum Center’s Star Wars™ and the Power of Costume and Shakespeare and the Queen City exhibitions, to provide a unique glimpse behind the curtain and the unique development processes that are used to bring new and beloved tales to life.

Costumer Designer Melanie Mortimer will discuss her work with Playhouse in the Park and how clothing choice relates to personality, identity, and communication. She will highlight the use of fabrication to inform audience perception of characters and their complexity. Art Academy of Cincinnati educator Amber Johnson will use her experiences as a Make-Up FX artist to examine how such (special) effects aid viewers in determining the good guys from the bad, and actors in defining who their characters are and sharing their stories. The Art Academy will also provide a live make-up demonstration as a Jedi and Sith are transformed right before your eyes. Finally, how does the Cincinnati Shakespeare Company use context clues to ascertain the directions William Shakespeare envisioned? From iambic pentameter to punctuation, antithesis to alliteration, Associate Artist and Resident Ensemble Member Miranda McGee will examine how they “unlock” Shakespeare’s texts to develop their characters the way they believe he intended.

In collaboration with the Cincinnati Shakespeare Company, Playhouse in the Park, and the Art Academy of Cincinnati.

Dayton Theatre Guild
Oct. 6-22
Dayton

Directed by Jared Mola

Cast: Barbara Jorgensen as Marjorie, Ryan Shannon as Walter, Wendi Michael as Tess & K.L.Storer as Jon

In the not-too-distant future and the age of artificial intelligence, 85-year-old Marjorie is trying to cope with the loss of her deceased husband through the use of a prime, an exact replica programmed to interact with her in human-like ways. What would we remember, and what would we forget, if given the chance? Would we rewrite the past? This play explores loss and memory, the mysteries of human identity and the limits (if any) of what technology can replace.

THE SÉANCE Runs Oct. 6-21

LTC_The Seance logoTHE SÉANCE
Lebanon Theatre Company
Oct. 6-21
Lebanon

THE SÉANCE is an interactive playlet. You are playing you, with just a bit of embellishment. You’ve been asked by a close friend to come to 10 S. Mechanic Street for the evening, to help an acquaintance of your friend’s. Due to your interest in the paranormal and/or ghost stories in general, your friend thought you would be of assistance to this acquaintance. Your friend has otherwise been quite vague and evasive as to the evening’s purpose. Despite some misgivings, you couldn’t resist passing on the mysterious request from your friend. Seating limited to 12 guests per performance. Due to the nature of the performance and the subject matter relating to the supernatural and paranormal, this event is not intended for young children. Adults and mature teens over 16 years old are recommended.

  • Fri-Sat, Oct. 6-7 at 8pm
  • Fri-Sat, Oct. 13-14 at 8pm
