PIP_The Lion promoTHE LION
Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park
Nov. 12-Dec. 4
Warsaw Federal Incline Theatre [East Price Hill]

Directed by Sean Daniels and Alex Stenhouse

His story is about courage — his music is about finding it. Straight from the London stage for an exclusive Playhouse engagement, The Lion features a singer-songwriter who shares the turbulent story of his family and his own brush with mortality. Chapters unfold through heartrending monologues and original songs, each one just as emotionally stirring as the last. Six guitars accompany the musician as he explores love, loss and the redemptive power of music. Hailed by critics as a “wondrous” and “spellbinding” experience, The Lion redefines the genre of musical theatre. THE LION is suitable for ages 12 and up. This heartrending yet uplifting story about one man’s personal journey through loss, illness and relationship challenges includes mature themes and some amazing music. We recommend you bring tissues.

THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE Runs Nov. 11-20

SCT_25th Ann Put Cty Spell Bee logoTHE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE
Springboro Community Theatre
Nov. 11-20
Springboro Performing Arts Center

Directed by Tim Rezash
Music and vocal direction by Judy Mansky
Choreographed by Kara Castle

Cast: Jacob Sawtelle as Chip Tolentino/Jesus, Liz Lindon as Logainne Schwarzandgrubenniere, Aaron Brewer as Leaf Coneybear, Jose Gutierrez del Arroyo as William Barfee, Caitie Gutierrez del Arroyo as Marcy Park, Lilly Robillard as Olive Ostrovsky, Lindsey Cardoza as Rona Lisa Peretti/Olive Mom, Brad Bishop as Douglas Panch/ -Olive Dad & Ben Essex as Mitch Mahoney

An eclectic group of six mid-pubescents vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home lives, the tweens spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life un-affirming “ding” of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Six spellers enter; one speller leaves! At least the losers get a juice box.
