The Drama Workshop to present THE PHILADELPHIA STORY

The Drama Workshop will present THE PHILADELPHIA STORY October 5-22. Performances will be held on Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m., with a special Thursday evening performance on October 19 at 7:30 p.m. Performances will take place at The Glenmore Playhouse, 3716 Glenmore Ave., Cheviot, OH 45211. Tickets may be purchased by calling the TDW ticket line at 513-598-8303 or ordering online at www.thedramaworkshop.org.

THE PHILADELPHIA STORY follows the turn of events as a wealthy Philadelphia family prepares for the second nuptials of their daughter, Tracy Lord.  Whether the wedding will go off without a hitch depends on many things, not the least of which is keeping up appearances for the tabloid reporter and photographer and the bride’s own ill-timed journey of self-discovery. The play was written by Philip Barry in 1939 and starred Katherine Hepburn in both the stage and movie versions. Jimmy Stewart won an Academy Award for his role in the movie version.

Elizabeth Malloy will portray Tracy.  Tracy’s beaus are played by Lon Nease as Mike, the reporter, and Ivory Mazur plays Dexter, Tracy’s former husband.   Tracy’s family will be played by Amy Eyers and Fred Murrell as her parents, Margaret and Seth Lord, and Mitchell Worden and Claudia Covarrubias as her brother and sister, Sandy and Dinah.  Jeff Spadafore appears as Uncle Willie.  Rusty Lacey plays the wisecracking photographer, Liz, and Clint Bramkamp plays Thomas.

The Drama Workshop production will be a dream come true for the show’s director, Dennis Murphy. “I have wanted to direct a production of THE PHILADELPHIA STORY for a very long time, having been a big fan of the movie for many years.  I love that it is a romantic comedy with beautifully phrased dialogue and multi-dimensional characters that are both charming and true to life.  And there’s a lovely twist at the end of the play that is as surprising as it is satisfying.” Murphy encourages those who may have busy weekends planned in October to attend the Thursday, October 19 performance. “The new Thursday evening performance starts at 7:30, so we can get our audiences home earlier.”

Actor Needed for Anthony in OUTSIDE MULLINGAR at Mariemont Players

MPI_logoThanks to everyone who auditioned for OUTSIDE MULLINGAR at Mariemont. While we had a number of people audition for the parts of Aoife, Tony, and Rosemary, unfortunately, no men auditioned for the role of Anthony.

The part is for a playing age of 41.

There will be table work and blocking the week of December 9th, and rehearsals beginning January 2, 2019 to support the opening weekend of March 8, 2019, closing March 24, 2019. Most rehearsals will occur on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays. The TTF rehearsals will begin at 7pm, and the Sunday rehearsals will be flexible. The play consists of 7 scenes, so some roles will rehearse only a couple time per week, until we start to put the play together in mid February.

If interested, contact the director, Mike Morehead, at morehead71@gmail.com. Please be prepared to list conflicts, and provide a resume, if available.

Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati
Oct. 12-28
[Over-the-Rhine]

Directed by Brian Robertson

Cast: Bruce Cromer as Man

A jaded theatre critic spins a tale beginning with obsession and ending with a descent into a macabre world of vampires. Is it all a drunken lie? A tantalizing fairy tale? Or is it his own version of a higher truth? Bruce Cromer sinks his teeth into this hauntingly funny one-man play that is storytelling at its spooky best.

TARZAN Runs Oct. 12-14

RTC_Tarzan logoTARZAN
Royal Theatre Company
Oct. 12-14
Mason High School

Directed by Dirk Doebereiner
Choreographed by Jay Goodlett
Production Managed by Karen Kilgore

Based on Disney’s epic animated musical adventure and Edgar Rice Burrough’s Tarzan of the Apes, Tarzan features heart-pumping music by rock legend, Phil Collins, and a book by Tony Award-winning playwright, David Henry Hwang. High-flying excitement and hits, like the Academy Award-winning “You’ll Be in My Heart,” as well as “Son of Man” and “Two Worlds,” make Tarzan an unforgettable theatrical experience.

Washed up on the shores of West Africa, an infant boy is taken in and raised by gorillas who name him Tarzan. Apart from striving for acceptance from his ape father, Tarzan’s life is mostly monkey business until a human expedition treks into his tribe’s territory, and he encounters creatures like himself for the first time. Tarzan struggles to navigate a jungle, thick with emotion, as he discovers his animal upbringing clashing with his human instincts.
