Cast Announced for MORE FUN THAN BOWLING at Mariemont Players

MPI_logoMariemont Players and director Laura Berkemeier are pleased to announce the cast of our November production, MORE FUN THAN BOWLING, by Steven Dietz.

  • Jake – Pat Kramer
  • Molly – Jackie Miesle
  • Lois – Elizabeth L. Taylor
  • Loretta – Natasha Boeckmann
  • Dyson – Mark Metzner

Synopsis
Jake owns the bowling alley in a small Midwestern town. He is sitting on a hilltop where two of his three wives are buried. Lois was zapped by lightning while carrying a bowling trophy in a thunderstorm and Loretta was killed by a ball return machine. In his younger days, he was a promising concert musician but a foul tip baseball broke his fingers which subsequently healed into a perfect bowler’s grip. Jake replays the key frames of his life and is visited by his daughter Molly who has become adept at talking women into marrying her father for love and free lane time. But who is that nattily dressed man with dark glasses and a revolver lurking nearby?

MORE FUN THAN BOWLING runs November 2-18, 2018. To order tickets, call Betsy at 513-684-1236 OR order online at www.mariemontplayers.com. All seats are reserved and $20 each.

Written by Mac Rogers
Directed by Jordana Williams

Cast: Mac Rogers as Owen, Rebecca Comtois as Jess & Kristen Vaughan as Ruth

A three-person relationship wouldn’t be most people’s cup of tea, but for Jess, Owen, and Ruth, it seems to work. So they decide to make it official: Ruth moves in. They figure out how to make it legal. It’s only then that the three spouses learn that marriage – especially in a scarily changing world – isn’t any easier for three than for two.
