SHANE Runs June 3-25

PIP_ShaneSHANE 
Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park
June 3-25
The Rouse Theatre [Eden Park]

Directed by Blake Robison

Cast: Juan Arturo as Older Bob/Bobby Starrett, Ricardo Chavira as Joe Starrett, William DeMeritt as Shane, Gabriela Fernandez-Coffey as Marian Starrett, Grant Goodman as Stark Wilson/Ernie Wright, Terry Hempleman as Jake Ledyard/Sam Grafton, Shayna Jackson as Winona, Bill McCallum as Luke Fletcher & Mikell Sapp as Chris Johnson,
Ensemble: Tommy Thams & Christopher Wells

One of the greatest Westerns of all time finds new life on the stage! Shane, a mysterious ex-gunfighter, is a man with a dangerous past. Yet, the Starrett family finds kinship with him, and Shane helps protect their Wyoming farm in 1889. Their story sheds new light on the allure, myths and values of the Wild West — a chapter in history that still has many tales to tell. Based on the classic novel by Jack Schaefer, this world premiere by acclaimed playwright Karen Zacarías brings an exciting, fresh perspective to an extraordinary American genre.

Auditions Announced for LOVE LETTERS at SSCC Theatre

SSCC_logoSSCC Theatre Company will hold auditions for the summer production of “Love Letters,” by A.R. Gurney.

Open to community members and students, auditions will be held at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, May 25, in the Edward K. Daniels Auditorium on Southern State Community College’s Central Campus, 100 Hobart Drive, Hillsboro.

Andrew Makepeace Ladd III and Melissa Gardner, both born to wealth and position, are childhood friends whose lifelong correspondence begins with birthday party thank-you notes and summer camp postcards. Romantically attached, they continue to exchange letters through the boarding school and college years—where Andy goes on to excel at Yale and law school, while Melissa flunks out of a series of “good schools.” While Andy is off at war Melissa marries, but her attachment to Andy remains strong and she continues to keep in touch as he marries, becomes a successful attorney, gets involved in politics and, eventually, is elected to the U.S. Senate. Meanwhile, her marriage in tatters, Melissa dabbles in art and gigolos, drinks more than she should, and becomes estranged from her children. Eventually she and Andy do become involved in a brief affair, but it is really too late for both of them. However Andy’s last letter, written to her mother after Melissa’s untimely death, makes it eloquently clear how much they really meant, and gave to, each other over the years—physically apart, perhaps, but spiritually as close as only true lovers can be.

Those interested in auditioning will be asked to read from the script during their audition. Those interested in working on available crew positions will be asked to complete an interview during the audition.

If interested in auditioning, but unavailable to attend the audition date, please contact Director Paula Campagna (pcampagna@sscc.edu) to schedule an alternate audition date prior to May 25.
“Love Letters” will be performed June 23 – 25. For more information about available roles and rehearsal schedule, please visit www.sscctheatre.com.
