TC_logo_newThe splash-hit musical takes The Carnegie stage January 28-February 12, 2023

COVINGTON, Ky. (November 22, 2022) – The “Greatest Movie Musical of All Time” is set to be lovingly adapted for the stage, complete with an onstage rainstorm, in The Carnegie’s production of SINGIN’ IN THE RAIN this January. New York City based actor Logan Anthony will return to The Carnegie this winter to star as Don Lockwood in the stage adaptation of the beloved movie musical SINGIN’ IN THE RAIN. He previously appeared as Favorite Son in The Carnegie’s hit 2019 production of Green Day’s AMERICAN IDIOT. Locally, Anthony has performed with Cincinnati Landmark Productions, The Children’s Theatre of Cincinnati, Kincaid Regional Theatre, Northern Kentucky University, and Cincinnati Music Theatre.

Anthony is joined by Chris Logan Carter, a resident artist at The Children’s Theatre of Cincinnati, as Cosmo Brown, University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music (CCM) Senior Delaney Benson as Kathy Selden, and Wright State University student and Carnegie veteran, Juno Brosas as Lina Lamont. The production is directed and choreographed by Maggie Perrino, Artistic Director of the School for Creative and Performing Arts. CCM faculty member Steve Goers is the Music Director.

The multi-talented ensemble features several faces familiar to The Carnegie audiences including Aaron Marshall, Arabella Bertucci, Dez Hutchens, and Seava Sierra King. New to The Carnegie stage are Cody Combs, Annalese Fusaro, Madison Osment, Tre Taylor, Franny Bell, Clare Graff, Sarah Newland, and Jameson Zoller.

“We’re excited to conclude our season with a song-and-dance extravaganza that will melt away the winter blues and build excitement for our recently announced 2023-24 season,” said The Carnegie Theatre Director, Tyler Gabbard. “I look forward to seeing audiences of all ages delight in this glorious musical fantasy!”

Complete with technicolor costumes, a stunning set, and an onstage rainstorm, SINGIN’ IN THE RAIN is packed with memorable songs, including “Good Morning,” “Moses Supposes,” “Broadway Melody,” and the beloved title song. Tickets to SINGIN’ IN THE RAIN may be purchased by calling (859) 957-1940 or by visiting thecarnegie.com. The production is sponsored by Johnson Investment Council.

The recently announced 2023 Summer Series includes KINKY BOOTS, LADY DAY AT EMERSON’S BAR & GRILL, and GUYS AND DOLLS. In Winter 2024, The Carnegie will present HELLO, DOLLY! Tickets for the 2023-24 season will go on sale in early 2023.

The Passing of Fred Blumenthal

From the Dayton Theatre Guild’s Facebook page:

DTG_Fred BlumenthalIt is with great sorrow that we share the heartbreaking news that long-time Dayton Theatre Guild member, and long-time Dayton Theatre Community veteren, Fred Blumenthal passed away Monday, November 21, 2022.

With the exception of his service in the armed forces, Fred has been an active member at the Dayton Theatre Guild starting in 1953 at the age of 18.

An inductee into the Dayton Theatre Hall of Fame, Fred has appeared in or directed hundreds of theatre productions, at the Guild, The Human Race, the Phoenix Theatre in Indianapolis, and many other theatres, community and professional. He also appeared in several films.

Fred is certainly one of Dayton Theatre’s elder statesmen and we will miss him greatly.

Rest in peace dear Fred.
