Town Hall Theatre
Feb. 15-17
[Centerville]

Official cast |

All the fun of just about every TV-show genre you can imagine is jam-packed into this wild and fast-paced comedy!  Your audience becomes the live studio audience on a talk show, Real Talk with Fairytale Legends, where the seven dwarves tell the story of Snow White as the Fairytale Players bring it to life.  As each new dwarf takes a turn telling part of Snow White’s famous story in his or her own unique voice, the players’ re-enactment shifts to match the style and personality of that particular dwarf.  At any given moment, the story can be anything — romance, comedy, home improvement show, suspense, Western, epic poetry, mystery, cooking show, stand-up routine, or blockbuster action movie!  There’s even a “Miss Fairest of Them All” beauty pageant!  It all culminates in a mad-dash ending of fast-changing genres that sets the record straight on Snow White’s happily-ever-after.

[West Price Hill]

Directed by Tim Perrino
Musical directied by Greg Dastillung

ALMOST HEAVEN weaves together the songs of John Denver to create a uniquely theatrical narrative that reflects upon the country during the years in which he wrote them.  Twenty-nine of Denver’s songs – including “Rocky Mountain High,” “Sunshine on My Shoulders,” “Annie’s Song,” “Leaving on a Jet Plane,” “Calypso” and more – are rediscovered and reinvented, performed against a backdrop of stunning visual images of America in the late ‘60s and early ‘70s,a time of political upheaval, yet great beauty and hope.

NKU_Cabaret logoCABARET
Northern Kentucky University
Feb. 14-24
Corbett Theatre [Highland Heights]

Directed by Brian Robertson

Cast: Alex Bellocq as Kit Kat Klub Dancer & Herman, Meg Carlson as Kit Kat Klub Dancer & Texas, Arianna Catalano as Kit Kat Klub Dancer & Helga, Haley Gillman as Kit Kat Klub Dancer & Kost, Faustina Gorham as Kit Kat Klub Dancer & Emcee, Sarah Hack as Kit Kat Klub Dancer & Schneider, Jake Hunter as Kit Kat Klub Dancer & Victor, Je’Shaun Jackson as Kit Kat Klub Dancer & Bobby, Sam Johnson as Kit Kat Klub Dancer & Ernst, Sidney Kline as Kit Kat Klub Dancer & Rosie, Blair Lamb as Kit Kat Klub Dancer & Lulu, Ashley Martin as Kit Kat Klub Dancer & Fritzie, Eleanor Morris as Kit Kat Klub Dancer & Frenchie, Matthew Nassida as Kit Kat Klub Dancer & Schultz, Makenzie Ruff as Kit Kat Klub Dancer & Sally, Alex Slade as Kit Kat Klub Dancer & Max, Aaron Marshall as Kit Kat Klub Dancer & Hans & Mattison Sullivan as Kit Kat Klub Dancer & Cliff

CABARET turns pre-war Berlin of 1931 into a sexually charged haven of decadence. At the seedy Kit Kat Klub, a young American writer, Cliff Bradshaw, wanders into the club overseen by a garish and flamboyant Master of Ceremonies. He meets Sally Bowles, a talented cabaret performer who holds her admirers at a distance, unwilling to develop genuinely deep emotions. Living in a morally ambiguous void of desperate anxiety, they are determined to keep up appearances as the real world prepares for war. CABARET is a finely-tuned combination of drama and entertainment, resulting in one of the most substantial musicals ever made.

CONTENT ADVISORY: CABARET contains mature language and subject matter.

Parrish Auditorium [Hamilton]

Directed by Matt Neal
​Co-Produced by Gaby Neal & Cy Wood

Cast: Lance Soto as Chief Bromden, Chase Engel as Aide Warren, Matt Guion as Aide Williams, Olivia Stewart as Nurse Ratched, Andie Angel as Nurse Flinn, Ryan Heinrich as Dale Harding, Jake Spicer as Billy Bibbit, Scott Christian as Scalon, Michael Blessing as Cheswick, Sami Shaaban as Martini, Coby Osborne as Ruckly, Tyler Parsons as Randle P.

A charming rogue contrives to serve a short sentence in a mental institution rather than in a prison. Quickly, he takes over the ward and accomplishes what the medical profession has been unable to do; helping fellow patients recover or at least improve their condition through unorthodox antics. He clashes with the head nurse, who resents his successes and retaliates by abusing her authority.
