AN EVENING WITH GROUCHO
Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park
Nov. 4-Dec. 17
Shelterhouse Theater [Eden Park]

Directed by Dreya Weber

Cast: Frank Ferrante as Grouch & Gerald Sternbach as Accompanist

Award-winning actor/director/playwright Frank Ferrante recreates his PBS, New York and London acclaimed portrayal of legendary comedian Groucho Marx. Called “masterful” by the Chicago Tribune and “a tour-de-force” by Variety, this fast-paced 90 minutes of hilarity contains all of the best Groucho one-liners, anecdotes and songs. Ferrante portrays the young Groucho of stage and film and reacquaints us with the likes of brothers Harpo, Chico, Zeppo and Gummo, Charlie Chaplin, W.C. Fields, Greta Garbo, MGM’s Louis B. Mayer and Marx foil Margaret Dumont. Appropriate for ages 12 and up with very mild adult content.
