Mariemont Players presents All the Way at the Walton Creek Theater, 4101 Walton Creek Road (just East of Mariemont), July 13th – July 29th.

 1963… An assassin’s bullet catapults Lyndon B. Johnson into the presidency. A Shakespearean figure of towering ambition and appetite, this charismatic, conflicted Texan hurls himself into the Civil Rights Act, a tinderbox issue emblematic of a divided America. Note: Graphic and crude language.

 All the Way is directed by Ed Cohen, co-produced by Steve Winslow, and starring A.J. Ford as LBJ and Derek Snow as MLK, also featuring the talents of Aaron Bates, jef brown, James Christian Jr., Sally Fint, William Gibson, Gary Glass, David Hatfield, John Langley, Joel Lind, Dava Lynn, Dan Maloney, Charles McClinon, Burt McCollom, Fred Murrell, Tom Peters, Arny Stoller, Elizabeth Leigh Taylor, and Kenny Tessel.

 Come visit our beautifully renovated auditorium complete with more comfortable seating, center aisle seats, new carpeting, fresh paint, aisle lighting, and a sound induction loop for those with hearing aid T switches and head sets for those with low hearing issues.

Performances will be:

  • 8 PM Friday, July 13th (Post-Show Opening Night Reception)

Most people familiar with Newsies will rave about it due to its spectacular dancing and catchy songs. What many do not realize is that it is based upon actual events of the 1899 newsies strike started and run BY CHILDREN! Newsies were as young as 4 years old, but most of the members of the “first newsies union” were between 11-15 years of age. It lasted about 2 weeks and actually ended with results of a successful compromise. This story speaks so loudly and clearly to today’s generation. Just like the students who founded March for our Lives, the real newsies of 1899 “challenged our whole generation to stand up and demand a place at the table.” There were many more strikes to follow until finally in 1938 Congress passed the Fair Labor Standards Act.

Carl Winsfield, young newspaper reporter with eye trouble, comes to the village. Carl falls a victim to Miss Ainslee’s charm and falls in love with Ruth. They become engaged. Carl has an accident which causes him to lose his eyesight. It is then that Miss Ainslee steps forth and fights heroically to help Carl regain his lost vision.
