The Carnegie Presents: Indiana University’s ANOTHER ROUND

TC_Another Round promo

(COVINGTON, KY) – This April harmonies will ring out at the Carnegie as the young men of the a cappella group, Another Round take the stage. The group of students from Indiana University will perform in the Otto M. Budig Theatre Saturday, April 27 at 7:30 p.m.

The group, made famous when their predecessors’ version of “The 12 Days of Christmas” went viral, has been Indiana University’s premier male A Cappella group since 1996. Their shows include songs ranging from comedic arrangements like “Dry Campus,” to classic songs including “With a Little Help From my Friends,” “Lean on Me,” and “Back Home Again in Indiana.”

Founded in 1996 as Straight No Chaser, the group adopted the name Another Round in 2012 after members of the original group re-formed as the professional group Straight No Chaser.

Tickets are $25; $22 for Carnegie Members, ArtsPass Members, and students, and can be purchased through The Carnegie Box Office, open Tuesday through Friday 12pm – 5pm, in person, or by phone at (859) 957-1940. Tickets are also available online at www.thecarnegie.com.

Internationally Acclaimed Burlesque Cabaret Stars Embark on Whirlwind US/Canada Tour

MISC_Tainted Cabaret logoAward-winning neo-burlesque and comedy music are heading to Cincinnati

TAINTED CABARET
Uninhibited, Undressed, Unhinged!
taintedcabaret.com

Friday, March 22nd at 8pm

The Mockbee
2260 Central Pkwy, Cincinnati 45214

$18 General Admission, $35 VIP (Preferred Seating and Gift) https://tc2019Cincinnati.bpt.me

Starring: Ula Uberbusen, James & the Giant Pasty and Shirley Gnome

TAINTED CABARET is a provocative burlesque cabaret featuring stars of the renowned underground theatre scenes of New York, Toronto, and Vancouver. A sinfully funny mix of satirical song and irreverent neo-burlesque, their show is a deliciously naked evening of sexy, campy and theatrical entertainment. Smart and subversive, Tainted Cabaret celebrates sensuality, sexuality, and redefines the rigid structures of traditional femininity. The award-winning cast welcomes their audience into their uncensored and liberating world with open arms.

Out for their second national tour, Tainted Cabaret hits the open road in March and April 2019. New cast member, #1 iTunes charting cabaret comedian and ‘chanteuse provocateur’ Shirley Gnome (“Dark, sexy, over-the-top and she’ll sing songs that will make sailors blush.” -Sunday Mail, Australia) joins producer Ula Uberbusen (“An absolute delight…beautiful and touching.” -Burlesque Beat) and boylesque superstar James & The Giant Pasty (“Ridiculous fun stuffed into a sequinned jockstrap.” -Edmonton Vue). Traveling through over twenty states from New York to New Orleans, and Durham to Denver, this all-star cast is making a stop at The Mockbee on Friday, March 22nd. They hope to bring a feel-good, adults only extravaganza that Cincinnati will never forget.

“Working with a team of smart and talented artists, all at the top of their game, means that we empower each other to create entertaining and thought-provoking theater,” says Ula Uberbusen about producing Tainted Cabaret. James and the Giant Pasty adds about performing burlesque, “There is no other art form where you get to connect so viscerally with the audience. You get to look them right in the eye, acknowledge them, make them feel something, and then hear and feel their response.” Shirley Gnome says that combing her comedic songs with burlesque is a perfect fit because “my music comes from a very positive, revealing, shameless place, and I find that energy seems to compliment burlesque perfectly.”

Tainted Cabaret is on tour in March and April 2019.

The Regular Theatre proudly presents Edward Albee’s first dramatic work, The Zoo Story, in it’s original one-act form. The story follows the mild-mannered publisher Peter, and his chance encounter with Jerry, the vagrant that’s “full of stories”, among darker interests. Sam Martini and Micah Price will be performing both roles in rep over the weekend, in an engaging examination of isolation and the failure to communicate.
