SSP Announces Cast of MOONLIGHT AND MAGNOLIAS

SSP_logoThe Sunset Players are proud to announce the cast of their winter show, MOONLIGHT AND MAGNOLIAS, directed by Don Frimming and produced by Allen Moellmann.

It’s 1939 and Hollywood’s legendary producer David O. Selznick has shut down production of his new epic, “Gone with the Wind.” The screenplay, you see, just doesn’t work. Selznick sends for famed screenwriter Ben Hecht and pulls director Victor Fleming from the set of “The Wizard of Oz.” He locks the doors, closes the shades, and, with bananas and peanuts, the three men create the screenplay that will become one of the most beloved of all time.

  • David O. Selznick – Jerry Yearout
  • Victor Fleming – Bob Kelley
  • Ben Hecht – Mike Burke
  • Miss Poppenghul – Merrit Beischel

Show Dates: Feb. 22, 23; March 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 9, 2013.

All shows 8 pm except Sunday at 2 pm. Produced by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc.

True Theatre Seeks Stories on CINCINNATI

True Theatre is looking for stories on “CINCINNATI” for their next show (Monday, January 7, 2013)

It’s our favorite city and our home. How has Cincinnati helped you? What have you done to help Cincinnati? Perhaps the relationship between you and the city isn’t always so rosy…? What’s your trueCINCINNATI story? Let us hear from you <http://truetheatre.com/contact.html> and you could be telling our audiences on January 7!

True Theatre is producing trueCINCINNATI, which will run for one night only on Monday, January 7th at the Know Theatre in downtown Cincinnati. They are now making appointments with people to hear their true, personal, CINCINNATI-related stories for possible inclusion in the show.

Appointments will be for Sunday, November 18 or by arrangement. If you have a story you would like True Theatre to consider for this show, reach out to them at truetheatre.com/contact.html or by writing stories@truetheatre.com. They will work with you to set an appointment and provide directions.

On the night of the show, stories will be expected to fit into a 10-15 minute time window and be told without notes. For the initial appointment, it is hoped, but not mandatory, that candidates can come close to these constraints. Unique approaches to the theme are welcome.

Following the consideration period, True Theatre will select five (5) stories for the show which fit the theme, have a good structure, and which balance nicely against the other stories selected.

If your story is selected for the show, you will be expected to work with True Theatre to find time to participate in 1 – 3 rehearsals (as needed) and then participate in the show.

Other shows that True Theatre is producing this season (and for which they are looking for storytellers) include:

  • April 8, 2013: trueMISCHIEF*: These storytellers have been up to no good! …or are the victims of those who were. Come hear about pranks and pranksters and the sneaky things that go on when you’re not looking!
  • July 29, 2012: trueCRIME*: The crime rate in the summer is higher than at any other time of the year. Duck for cover with True Theatre for these stories of crime and punishment.

[All shows are at 7:30PM]

If you have a story that you think fits one of these themes or just have one that you *gotta *share, reach out to True Theatre by the methods listed above.
