The Passing of Georgia Dunn

Georgia Dunn.

Via Lebanon Theatre Company Facebook Fan Page.

Lebanon Theatre Company is deeply saddened to announce the passing of Georgia Dunn. Georgia was more than a founding member and managing director of LTC. For many of us, she was the heart and soul of this organization (and often its arms, legs, and torso as well).

Georgia was funny, talented, and supremely passionate. She was a mentor and friend to many during her 2 decades with LTC, and her presence here is irreplaceable.

We are forever indebted to Georgia for all of our success, and we will forever carry on in her spirit.

My condolences to her family and friends. She will be missed.

Final Show of 2015-2016 Season Announced by Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati

ETC_new_logo_bannerETC is happy to announce the final show as part of our exciting 2015-2016 30th Anniversary Season, which already includes an impressive line up of leading contemporary shows. In addition to the five titles previously announced, ETC will present the regional premiere of the critically-acclaimed drama ANNAPURNA by Sharr White (author of this past season’s well-received production of The Other Place) in March 2016.

Twenty years ago, Emma walked out on her husband, cowboy-poet Ulysses, in the middle of a night that he can’t remember, and that she will never forget. Now, hearing he’s in dire straits she tracks him down in the wilds of a low-rent Colorado trailer park. He’s working on his epic poem, hooked to an oxygen tank, and cooking breakfast in the buff. Their reunion, charged by rage and compassion, frames a story that rides the fine line of tragedy and comedy, laughter and loss.

ANNAPURNA will play March 22 through April 10, 2016, earned rave reviews and was a 2012 finalist for the Harold and Mimi Steinberg/ATCA New Play Award.
