The ultimate show-biz musical, 42ND STREET celebrates Broadway, Times Square, and the people who make the magic of musical theatre.

But just before opening night, the leading lady breaks her ankle. Will Peggy be able to step in and become a star? The score is chock-full of Broadway standards, including “Dames,” “We’re In the Money,” “Lullaby of Broadway,” “Shuffle Off to Buffalo” and “Forty-Second Street.”

NKU_Yes Festival 19 logoTHE BLACK BOY IN PINK
Northern Kentucky University
Part of the Y.E.S. Festival
April 5-14
Konstantinow Studio Theatre [Highland Heights]

Written by Isaiah Reaves
Directed by Brian Robertson

Cast: Je’Shaun Jackson as Wyatt, Thomas Smith as Rudolph, Nathaniel Clifford as Douglas, Sally Modzelewski as Iris, Cameron Myers as Vincent, Haley Gillman as Blair & Gabriela Barbosa Gonzalez as Wyatt’s Mother

THE BLACK BOY IN PINK is a bold new work by a young provocative playwright set in his hometown of Cincinnati. The year is 1959. Wyatt Frost is a young black man who has been forced to make hard choices to survive. Flickering across his fuzzy RCA Victor television set comes the possibility of a different existence. As his life becomes entangled with the legacy of a picturesque local wealthy family, will Wyatt be able to choose the life he has always wanted? Will he be able to color pink his otherwise black and white existence?

THE BOY IN PINK has free admission, but reservations are required due to limited seating. Please visit the YES Festival website at nku.edu/yesfestival for more information or call the Box Office at 859.572.5464.

INITIATIVE Runs April 4-14

NKU_Yes Festival 19 logoINITIATIVE
Northern Kentucky University
Part of the Y.E.S. Festival
April 4-14
Stauss Theatre [Highland Heights]

Written by Jacob York
Directed by Mike King

Cast: Brandon Critchfield as Dave, Piper Bates as Meg, James Dawson as Tyrone, Kali Marsh as Sky, Trevor Browning as Benny, Reagan Ruth as NPC #1 & Timothy Belton as NPC #2

Playing a pen and paper role-playing game may not be your idea of a good time but, for Dave and his friends, it’s a lifeline. Dave has a particularly aggressive form of cancer and the only way he’ll experience all the memories he counted on having is through his friends creating them around him at the gaming table. A play about friends and the lengths you’ll go for them, Initiative examines stories and why we tell them. And what unexpected demons can lie within.

FAST YOUNG BEAUTIFUL Runs April 3-14

NKU_Yes Festival 19 logoFAST YOUNG BEAUTIFUL
Northern Kentucky University
Part of the Y.E.S. Festival
April 3-14
Corbett Theatre [Highland Heights]

Written by Ethan Warren
Directed by Nicole Perrone

Cast: Landis Helwig as James Dean, Charles Adams as Dennis, Rachel Kazee as Natalie, Sarah Hack as Liz/Natalie’s Mother, Austin Adams as Rock/Corey, Alex Slade as Nick/Stevens, Katie Tierney as Mary, Brayden Glass as Bobby, Kylie Flick as Reporter/Assistant Director, Jerrod Gruber as Figment A, Raven Burns-Gibson as Figment B, Brooke Hardin as Figment C, Tyler Rosenblatt as Figment D & Nick Palazzolo as Figment E

New to Hollywood, a naive young actor named Dennis is cast in the new James Dean film, and though he’s at first unimpressed with his idiosyncratic co-star, he’s soon seduced by Dean’s mysterious talent. Dean agrees to mentor Dennis, but as they co-star in two films across the spring and summer of 1955, both find themselves struggling to understand what it means to be a great actor, and a good man, before they lose their chance to be either.
