Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park
May 4-June 2
Shelterhouse Theater [Eden Park]

Directed by Laura Kepley

Cast: Michael Doherty as Ollie, Kate Eastman as Cath, Peter Hargrave as Bohdi, James Holloway as Jeremiah & Nandita Shenoy as Jenve

Can tiny equal happy? Four young adults are determined to build a 200-square-foot tiny house in Oregon with the hope of finding meaning in minimalism. Instead, the project devolves into a series of amusingly awkward missteps. Will their relationships survive the construction project? Will living small be a huge mistake? This world premiere comedy explores what happens when our world begins to shrink. The play contains some strong adult language, alcohol use, hipster slang and low-key millennial malaise.

WORKING Runs May 3-19

TDW_Working logoWORKING
The Drama Workshop
May 3-19
Glenmore Playhouse [Cheviot]

Directed & choreographed by Amy Waldfogle
Music direction by Allen Lindsey
Produced by Mark Waldfogle

Cast: Clare Hingsbergen, Kyndra Jefferies, Cathy Judge, Garret Liette, Jazzmann McMullen, Harold Murphy, Kevin Noll, Catherine Ross, Mitch Ruth, Helen Swartwout, Jim Swartwout & Elizabeth Taylor

The hopes, dreams, joys and concerns of the average working American are the focus of this unique, extraordinary musical. That the everyday lives of common men and women should be so compelling and moving will surprise and inspire anyone who has ever punched a time clock. The characters of WORKING are everybody you know! A different look at the seemingly humdrum lives of working people reveals a myriad variety of hopes, aspirations and dreams. Of course, to some, life is a Monday to Friday drudge, but to others there is great pride in their daily routine. A powerful contemporary score backed by a vital and dramatic book makes this a winner.

Sneaking a peek in her mother’s old diaries, she discovers three possible fathers: Sam, Bill, and Harry. She secretly invites all three to the wedding, convinced that she’ll know her father when she sees him. But when all three turn up, it may not be as clear as she thought!
