Cast Announced for NATURAL CAUSES at The Drama Workshop

TDW_VERTThe Drama Workshop is very pleased to announce the cast for its upcoming production of NATURAL CAUSES, written by Eric Chappell, directed by Ray Lebowski, and produced by Ray Persing.

We were gratified by the terrific turnout for auditions, and really appreciate everybody taking the time to come out and share their talents with us. Unfortunately, there are only so many roles in any show. Very qualified actors with good auditions, including close friends, sometimes don’t get cast because the ensemble works better with a different choice. Everybody gave great reads, and we’re looking forward to seeing everybody back at a TDW audition very soon!

The cast of NATURAL CAUSES is:

  • Walter Bryce – Eric Thomas
  • Vincent – Jeff Nieman
  • Celia Bryce – Rusty Lacy
  • Angie – Elizabeth Beatty
  • Withers – Glenn Schaich

We are still looking to fill some designer, backstage crew, and front-of-house positions for the show. If you’re interested in helping out, please contact me. Show dates are October 6 through 22.

Congratulations to Eric, Jeff, Rusty, Elizabeth, and Glenn! It’s going to be a great show!

Cast Announced for A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM at The Drama Workshop

TDW_VERTThe Drama Workshop is proud to announce the cast for its upcoming production of A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM directed by Dennis Murphy.

Cast members are:

PSEUDOLUS – Joe Penno
HYSTERIUM – Rob Bucher
MARCUS LYCUS – Gary Herman
ERRONIUS – Burt McCollom
SENEX – Chuck Ingram
HERO – Alex Cottle
PHILIA – Gina Stack
DOMINA – Samantha Strain
CAPTAIN MILES GLORIOSUS – Jon Vater
THE PROTEANS – Mark Waldfogle, Adam Drake, Jonny Hofmann
THE COURTESANS – Meagan Blasch, Rachel Kazee, Kaitrin McCoy

A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM is a musical with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and book by Burt Shevelove and Larry Gelbart. The show is a fast-paced farce which combines elements of commedia dell arte, vaudeville and musical comedy into a show that is guaranteed to have audiences rolling in the aisles. Taken straight from the roots of comedy, FORUM combines the characters from the comedies of Plautus with a modern, vaudeville-inspired sensibility.

In FORUM, the slave Pseudolus schemes to win the heart (and body) of the beautiful virgin courtesan Philia for his young master, Hero. In exchange, Hero will grant Pseudolus his heart’s desire: freedom. However, things are never as easy as they seem. Philia is promised to a vain, swaggering solider named Miles Glorious and he’s on his way to claim her. Chaos ensues with hair-brained schemes, cases of mistaken identity, slamming doors and convoluted plot twists. One of the funniest musicals ever written, FORUM boasts a happy, toe tapping score and promises: “something for everyone: a comedy tonight!”

Performance dates are August 11, 12, 17, 18, 19, 24, 25, 26 at 8:00 PM. August 13, 20, 27 at 2:00 PM.

The Drama Workshop performs at The Glenmore Playhouse, 3716 Glenmore Ave, Cheviot, Ohio, 45211.
