CINCINNATI, OH – February 12, 2018 — Sunset Players announces auditions for the Cincinnati community theater premiere of the musical IF/THEN, music by Tom Kitt with lyrics and book by Brian Yorkey.
Directed by Jerry Yearout with music direction by Allen Lindsey, IF/THEN will run at Sunset Players July 6, 7, 13, 14, 15, 19, 20, and 21.
Music auditions will be held February 25 and 27 from 7:00-9:30 pm at the Art Center at Dunham at 1945 Dunham Way, Cincinnati, OH 45238. Callbacks will be held March 7 at 7:00 pm. Audition slots will be held in 10-minute increments. To sign up for an audition time, visit http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0a4caea72fabff2-auditions3. Bring a Broadway or pop song that will show off your range. Piano accompanist will be provided. For questions, contact Jerry Yearout at gyearout72@gmail.com.
With unforgettable songs and a deeply moving story by the Pulitzer Prize- and Tony Award-winning creators of Next to Normal, IF/THEN is a fascinating, ambitious and original new musical that simultaneously follows one woman’s two possible life paths, painting a deeply moving portrait of the lives that we lead, as well as the lives that we might have led.
Elizabeth, a city planner, moves back to New York to restart her life in the city of infinite possibilities. When her carefully designed plans collide with the whims of fate, Elizabeth’s life splits into two parallel paths. IF/THEN follows both stories simultaneously, as this modern woman faces the intersection of choice and chance.
IF/THEN is a contemporary Broadway musical about living in New York today and all of the possibilities of tomorrow. With a powerhouse role for a leading lady and rich and complex supporting roles, this show celebrates dynamite talent and the power of great storytelling.

OTHELLO marks the first of Shakespeare’s tragedies to be performed on Cincinnati Shakespeare Company’s new stage at The Otto M. Budig Theater
Nicholas Rose as Iago & William Oliver Watkins as Othello.
CINCINNATI, Feb. 8, 2018 – Cincinnati Shakespeare Company continues the Debut Season at The Otto M. Budig Theater with William Shakespeare’s Othello. The production will be directed by Christopher V. Williams, who also directed last season’s highly-praised A Raisin in the Sun at CSC, and will feature founding company member Nicholas Rose at Iago, as well as newcomer to CSC William Oliver Watkins as Othello, and CSC Resident Ensemble Member Courtney Lucien as Desdemona. Othello is generously sponsored by Matson Money and Pete Strange Family.
Othello (William Oliver Watkins), a Moor, has won fame and glory for his many victories leading the Venetian army, but tensions spark when he elopes with the wealthy Desdemona (Courtney Lucien). Othello’s scheming underling, Iago (Nicholas Rose) is bitterly jealous of Othello’s successes and launches a series of plots and snares to bring ruin to Othello and Desdemona. Through whispers, innuendoes, and a deception involving a purloined handkerchief, Iago sets out to ruin Desdemona’s reputation and drive Othello to wild fits of jealousy.
“This is a play that speaks to a national conversation that we’re having right now about inequality and bias,” says Producing Artistic Director Brian Isaac Phillips. “Othello is a classic work that deals with these very timely issues, and also explores the universal themes of insecurity, trust, and betrayal.” Director Christopher V. Edwards said of the staging of this production: “Though quite old, the play has a contemporary soul. Our Othello is set in a contemporary world – a Venice that is technologically and digitally capable, where war is the norm and not the exception. It is a nation with the responsibility of a superpower, where political and economic interests often outweigh ethical or moral concerns.”
William Oliver Watkins as Othello & Courtney Lucien as Desdemona.
The production is part of an exciting collaboration between Cincinnati Shakespeare Company and Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati. These neighboring local theaters are collaborating to present William Shakespeare’s “Othello” and Lola Chakrabarti’s “Red Velvet” simultaneously only blocks apart in OTR! Cincinnati audiences will have a rare opportunity to experience both Shakespeare’s searing tragedy of deception and betrayal and see Chakrabarti’s telling of the little-known but true story of Ira Aldridge, the first African-American actor to play Othello. Cincinnati Shakespeare Company’s Producing Artistic Director, Brian Isaac Phillips will be directing “Red Velvet” and the cast will feature actors from Cincinnati Shakespeare Company’s Resident Ensemble. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to see literature and history collide in this unique way on two of Cincinnati’s greatest stages in March!
Othello runs March 2-24 with performances on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 7:30 PM and Sundays at 2:00 PM, as well as Saturday March 24 at 2:00 PM. Preview performances are February 28 and March 1 at 7:30 PM. Red Velvet runs March 6- 31 at Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati.
On Sundays March 11 and 18, bring your younger kids (4+) for artist-led childcare DURING the performance! The “Playdate” program is only $15 and free for subscribers. The option to add this program will be available as you are buying tickets for either of these show dates. Activities will range from Shakespeare Storytime to theatre games and crafts. Share the great benefits of CSC’s programming with your children: Playdate will style activities to correspond with each production, so even your youngest can join in the discussion on the ride home!
The theater is now located at The Otto M. Budig Theater at 1195 Elm Street in OTR, adjacent to Washington Park. Single ticket prices range from $14-$52. Student/Children and Preview tickets are only $28. If available that day, $14 student rush tickets may be purchased thirty minutes before a show with a valid student ID.
