THE WINTER’S TALE Runs Oct. 3-5

THE WINTER’S TALE
UC College-Conservatory of Music
Oct. 3-5
Patricia Corbett Theater [University Heights]

Directed by Susan Felder

Blinded by jealousy, King Leontes publicly accuses his wife, Hermione, of an affair with his best friend. He learns of her extraordinary loyalty, but it’s too late — his cruel actions set off an unlikely chain of events that ripple into the next generation. Can Leontes ever be forgiven or redeemed? A passionate drama and a gentle comedy, The Winter’s Tale is one of Shakespeare’s great late romances, full of magic and hope.

Howard Crabtree’s WHEN PIGS FLY Runs Sept. 27-Oct. 6

Howard Crabtree’s WHEN PIGS FLY
Northern Kentucky University
Sept. 27-Oct. 6
Aronoff Center Fifth Third Bank Theater [Downtown]

Recent high school graduate, Howard Crabtree, moves from his hometown in Missouri to New York City to put on shows, sing and dance, make funny costumes, and find other people just like him. He’s gathered some dear friends to help him put on his first show, but things aren’t going as smoothly as they would like. You see, Howard has designed and built the costumes and set, directed and choreographed the show, and is performing in it too! While Howard tries to keep things from falling apart, he can’t help but hear the warnings of his high school guidance counselor, Miss Roundhole, who told him not to pursue theatre, but a more sensible career instead. Will the show and Howard’s dreams work out? When pigs fly!

Celebrated writer Charles Condomine and his wife, Ruth, have planned a social gathering with their friends, Dr. and Mrs. Bradman in which the guest of honor is a spiritual medium named Madame Arcati. Charles is hoping to use Madame Arcati for inspiration for his latest book. Madame Arcati conducts a seance which at first appears to have failed, but soon it becomes clear that Charles’ late wife Elvira has been brought back to haunt him. Through a series of mishaps, Ruth accidentally ends up on the “other side,” and Charles finds himself haunted by both of his now-deceased wives.
