Mariemont Players presents Broadway Bound by Neil Simon at the Walton Creek Theater, 4101 Walton Creek Road (just East of Mariemont), November 8th-24th, 2019.

Part three of Neil Simon’s acclaimed semi-autobiographical trilogy finds Eugene Jerome and his older brother Stanley trying to break into the world of show business as professional comedy writers while coping with family tensions, parental pressures, and maybe even…love? When their material is broadcast on the radio for the first time, some things about the family portrayed in the sketch seem very familiar…

Broadway Bound is directed by Jerry Wiesenhahn, produced by Kristen Vincenty, and features the talents of Linda Callahan, Fred Murrell, Arny Stoller, Jake Hart, Tanner McDole, and Peggy S. Allen.

Come visit our beautifully renovated auditorium complete with more comfortable seating, new carpeting, fresh paint, aisle lighting, enhanced stage lighting, state-of-the-art sound, and a sound induction loop for those with hearing aid T switches and head sets for those with low hearing issues.
