Cincinnati, OH — Carol Burnett, award-winning actress and best-selling author, is widely recognized by the public and her peers for her work on stage and screen, most notably The Carol Burnett Show. The legendary actress and comedienne brings her one-woman show, An Evening of Laughter and Reflection Where the Audience Asks the Questions to the Aronoff Center’s Procter & Gamble Hall on Tuesday, May 5, 2020 at 7:30 PM. DUE TO POPULAR DEMAND, AN ADDITONAL PERFORMANCE HAS BEEN ADDED ON MONDAY, MAY 4, 2020 AT 7:30 PM.
Tickets for the added May 4 performance go on sale Friday, January 10 at 10:00 AM at CincinnatiArts.org, (513) 621-ARTS [2787], and the Aronoff Center Ticket Office. The previously announced May 5 performance is currently on sale with limited availability.
Named in 2007 by TIME magazine as one of the “100 Best Television Shows of All Time,” The Carol Burnett Show ran for 11 years, averaged 30 million viewers per week, and received 25 Emmy Awards, making it one of the most honored shows in television history. But it is Ms. Burnett’s artistic brilliance, her respect and appreciation of her fans, and her graciousness, integrity, warmth, and humor on and off screen that have made her one of the most beloved performers in entertainment, and one of the most admired women in America.
During An Evening of Laughter and Reflection, Burnett will take questions from the audience and show video clips from her shows in a format that harkens back to the legendary openings of The Carol Burnett Show, where her studio audience had an unfiltered opportunity to engage Carol with questions and receive spontaneous answers. “I love the spontaneity of these evenings,” said Carol. “I never know what anyone is going to ask, or say, or do, so it keeps me on my toes!”
As a highly-acclaimed actress, Ms. Burnett has been honored with Emmys, Golden Globes, People’s Choice Awards, the Horatio Alger Award, an Ace Award, and the Peabody. A Kennedy Center Honoree, she has also been honored with the Kennedy Center Mark Twain Prize for Humor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, was inducted into the Television Hall of Fame, and has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Carol Burnett was honored with the 2015 SAG Life Achievement Award on January 30, 2016, and her new book In Such Good Company was released last September.

THE GLASS MENAGERIE
Xenia Area Community Theatre
Jan. 10-19
[Xenia]
Directed by Mike Taint
Cast: Kyle Mercuri as Tom Wingfield, Amy Taint as Amanda Wingfield, Kristin Curby as Laura Wingfield & Ben Evory as Jim O’Connor, The Gentleman Caller
Awarded Best Play in 1945 by the New York Drama Critics’ Circle and acclaimed as Williams’s first great Broadway success, this emotionally devastating portrait of hope is a memory of Saint Louis in 1937. Tennessee Williams’s autobiographical play introduces audiences to Tom Wingfield, an aspiring poet who toils in a shoe warehouse to support his overbearing mother, Amanda, and debilitatingly shy sister, Laura after being abandoned by their father. Amanda, originally from a genteel Southern family, regales her children frequently with tales of her idyllic youth and the scores of suitors who once pursued her.

CHARLOTTE’S WEB
Springboro Community Theatre
Jan. 10-19
Springboro Performing Arts Center
Cast: Sophia Schafer as Fern Arable, Andrew Wright as John Arable, Jordan Head as Martha Arable, Nick Barter as Avery Arable, Kirsten Cox as Homer Zuckerman, Hannah Pittenger as Edith Zuckerman, Ali McDonald as Lurvy, Shelby McCoy as Wilbur, Camden Garris as Templeton, Julia Kirk as Charlotte, Bethany Scearce as Goose, Kate Tamme as Gander, Sophia Shenk as Sheep & Makayla Pindroh as Lamb
Chorus members (narrators): Emma Hagerman, Sam Johnson & Aivy Do
The Children’s Literature Association named this “the best American children’s book of the past two hundred years,” and Joseph Robinette, working with the advice of E.B. White, has created a play that captures this work in a thrilling and utterly practical theatrical presentation. All the enchanting characters are here: Wilbur, the irresistible young pig who desperately wants to avoid the butcher; Fern, a girl who understands what animals say to each other; Templeton, the gluttonous rat who can occasionally be talked into a good deed; the Zuckerman family; the Arables; and, most of all, the extraordinary spider, Charlotte, who proves to be “a true friend and a good writer.” Determined to save Wilbur, Charlotte begins her campaign with the “miracle” of her web in which she writes, “Some pig.” It’s the beginning of a victorious campaign which ultimately ends with the now-safe Wilbur doing what is most important to Charlotte. This is a beautiful, knowing play about friendship.
