Vivie Warren, a thoroughly modern young woman, has just graduated from the University of Cambridge with honours in Mathematics and is available for suitors. Her mother, Mrs. Warren, her mother arranges for her to meet her friend Mr. Praed, a middle-aged, handsome architect, at the home where Vivie is staying. Mrs. Warren arrives with her business partner, Sir George Crofts, who is attracted to Vivie despite their 25-year age difference. Vivie is romantically involved with the youthful Frank Gardner, who sees her as his meal ticket. His father, the (married) Reverend Samuel Gardner, has a history with Vivie’s mother. As we discover later, he may be Vivie’s out-of-wedlock father, which would make Vivie and Frank half-siblings.

PIP_logo(CINCINNATI) – The Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park is once again offering acting classes for young performers ages 3 to 14, with a schedule of classes that will tap young imaginations in creative and confidence-building ways. Designed to strengthen communication skills and develop a sense of community, the classes will focus on individual and collective skill development in a fun and supportive environment.

Treasure Trunk Adventures is the theme for the youngest students — ages 3 and 4 — featuring a treasure trunk that will provide a dramatic focus to the class.  The trunk will inspire a different interactive adventure for each 30-minute session, with students creating a story that they then act out. Treasure Trunk Adventures will be offered at 10 a.m. Saturdays from Sept. 17 through Nov. 12 (no class on Oct. 8); tuition is $95.

Castles & Kingdoms: Knight Adventures! will be offered for two age groups on Saturdays from Sept. 17 through Nov. 12 — at 10:30 a.m. for kindergarten and first grade students and at 11:15 a.m. for second and third graders. The 45-minute classes will concentrate on social and artistic development through creative dramatics, improvisation and theatre games set in a far-off kingdom filled with magical surprises and swashbuckling adventures. This introductory acting class supports students as they develop skills in storytelling, creative problem solving and character development in a detailed dramatic environment. Tuition is $140; there will be no class on Oct. 8.

Argh, Pirates! will set sail for two age groups, with classes on Mondays from Sept. 12 to Nov. 14 (no class on Oct. 10 and Oct. 31).
