THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG IN THE NIGHT-TIME
Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park
Oct. 14-Nov. 11
Marx Theater [Eden Park]

Directed by Marcia Milgrom Dodge

Winner of five Tony Awards, this Broadway smash hit puts you inside the brilliant mind of a boy who sees the world as most of us can only imagine. Fifteen-year-old Christopher is acutely sensitive and highly intelligent, but he has trouble adapting socially. When he’s unfairly accused of murdering his neighbor’s dog, Christopher puts his analytical skills to work to clear his name. His investigation leads him on a sometimes frightening quest that unearths a second, more personal mystery. Based on the bestselling novel, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is a breathtaking theatrical experience that will fill you with hope. Appropriate for adults and older teenage audiences. While this is a hopeful story about a young man’s personal quest, it contains strong adult language, mature themes and intense moments that reflect the psychological perspective of the protagonist.

Don’t miss it—the fate of the world could be at stake (see what we did there?).

MOON OVER BUFFALO Rises at the Arts Center at Dunham

SSP_Moon Over Buffalo logo

CINCINNATI, OH – September 14, 2017 — The hilarious MOON OVER BUFFALO by Ken Ludwig and directed by Allen Lindsey and Don Frimming rises to kick off Sunset Players’ 38th season at the Arts Center at Dunham.

The play centers on fading 1950s stars George and Charlotte Hay who learn they might have one last shot at stardom: Frank Capra is coming to see their matinee show and might cast them in his next movie. Unfortunately, everything goes wrong with a visit from their daughter’s clueless fiancé and hysterical uncertainty about which play they’re performing caused by Charlotte’s old stage-manager mother who hates George.

The cast includes:

  • Allen Lindsey as George Hay
  • Katrina Reynolds as Charlotte Hay
  • Karen Vosseberg as Ethel
  • Mary Vosseberg as Rosalind
  • Brandon Stout as Howard
  • Brenden Blackburn as Paul
  • Victoria Marie Garcia as Eileen
  • Rob Bucher as Richard

Performance dates are September 22, 23, 29, 30, October 1, 5, 6 and 7 at the Arts Center at Dunham, 1945 Dunham Way, Cincinnati, OH 45238. All shows are at 8PM, except Thursday at 7:30 PM and Sunday at 3 PM.

Tickets are $14 general admission or $12 for seniors, students or groups of 10 or more and can be purchased online at the Sunset Players website (www.sunsetplayers.org) or at the door. Tickets can also be reserved by calling 513-588-4988.

Sunset Players, Inc. is a community theater group located on the west side of Cincinnati. Founded in 1979, the group performs at the Arts Center at Dunham and has produced more than 120 plays. Its mission is to bring a smile, and its plays include comedies, farces, dramatic comedies and musical comedies—as long as there is some “comedy” in the performance somewhere. For more information about the 38th season, visit our website at www.sunsetplayers.org or like us on Facebook.

VANITIES Runs Sept. 22-Oct. 1

FFL_Vanities logoVANITIES
Fairfield Footlighters
Sept. 22-Oct. 1
Fairfield Community Arts Center

Directed by Pat Ganz
Produced by Dan Schindler

Cast: Kendra Thomas as Joanne, Hannah Brown as Kathy & Maggie Gardner as Mary

In 1963, Joanne, Kathy, and Mary are aggressively vivacious cheerleaders. Five years later in their college sorority house, they are confronting their futures with nervous jauntiness. In 1974, they reunite briefly in New York. Their lives have diverged and their friendship, which once thrived on assumption as well coordinated as sweater sets, is strained and ambiguous. Old time banter rings false. Their attempts at honest conversation only show they can no longer afford to have very much in common.
Rated PG-13 for some situational humor and strong adult language.

  • Fri-Sat, Sept. 22-23 at 8pm
  • Sun, April 24 at 2pm
  • Fri-Sat, Sept. 29 & 30 at 8pm
