Cast Announced for EARTH AND SKY at Mariemont Players

mpi_logoMariemont Players and director Jef Brown are excited to announce the cast of our March production, EARTH AND SKY by Douglas Post:

  • Sara McKeon – Patricia Mullins
  • David Ames – CJ Bossart
  • Detective Al Kersnowski – Michael Ireland
  • Detective H.E. Weber – Darren Lee
  • Joyce Lazlo – Elizabeth Hickerson
  • Billy Hart – Bryce Willson
  • Carl Eisenstadt – Burt McCollom
  • Marie DeFaria – Natasha Boeckmann
  • Julius Gatz – Fred Murrell

EARTH AND SKY is about would-be poet and part-time librarian Sara McKeon, whose lover of ten weeks, David Ames, is found dead one hot August morning in the city of Chicago. It appears that David may have been involved in illicit activities, including kidnapping, rape, and murder. Sara begins her own investigation of the crime and is led deeper and deeper through the urban labyrinth into the contemporary underworld. As the detective story moves forward in time, scenes from the love affair take us back to the moment when Sara and David first met. The plots converge, and Sara finds herself face to face with David’s murderer.

Performance Dates: March 13-29, 2020

For tickets, call Betsy at 513-684-1236 or visit www.mariemontplayers.com.

2 PIANOS, 4 HANDS Quick Review

2 PIANOS, 4 HANDS presented by Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park through Jan. 5. I attended the opening night performance.

“How do I get to Carnegie Hall?”
“Practice.”

In 2 PIANOS, 4 HANDS, the story follows two classical pianists from their beginning lessons through their interviews to join prestigious college music programs. Along the way we meet frustrated teachers, domineering parents and exacting college interviewers.

The two actors (Jefferson McDonald as Ted and Matthew McGloin as Richard) are talented pianists and performers with great comic timing. The duo enjoy a fun rapport and slip into multiple characters as easily as they slide behind the piano. The comedy hits home even more strongly for anyone who has taken music lessons.

Tom Frey does double duty as director and music director for the show, keeping the pacing strong between the short scenes and the musical performances. With seating on four sides, the set is simply two angled Steinway pianos. James Sale’s colorful lighting design sets the mood and defines the transitions between the multiple vignettes.

Thank you Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park for an enjoyable evening of laughter and classical music.

My rating: 4.5 out of 5.
