NKU SOTA Streams FALLING AND LOVING

NKU_Falling and Loving logoHIGHLAND HEIGHTS, KY – Northern Kentucky University’s School of the Arts presents Charles Mee’s “Falling and Loving” to continue the 2020-21 Theatre + Dance academic season. “Falling and Loving” will be available on-demand through ShowTix4U now through June 30, 2021.

“Charles Mee’s poetry is the star against the backdrop of COVID-19,” said director Corrie Danieley. “Even though this year seems horrible, there is still much beauty and love to experience, and our actors got to portray that through this project.” 

  • What: “Falling and Loving” by Charles Mee
  • When: Now through June 30, 2021
  • Where: Online at ShowTix4U
  • Admission: $4 for On-Demand 48-hour rental

“Falling and Loving” is written in the form of poetry and does not follow a traditional plot, as it resembles a modern art piece. The production consists of a collection of monologues and duet scenes which explore the themes of falling into and out of love. The play depicts the beauty and ugliness of life through various, relatable life situations. There are very sweet moments and very ugly moments in this show.

The NKU cast features Gabby Barbosa, Courtney Blythe, Shelby Flynn, Anna Grace Rose, Ariana Catalano, Mo Cox, Mae Miller, Erin Caudill, Art Patrick, Jason Coffenberry, Raven Hughley, Justin Huddilston, Trey Finkenstead, Chris Monell, Nick Palazzolo, and Thomas Smith. Norse Media and Chris Strobel graciously provided filming and editing support during the production process.

Creating theatre at a university under COVID restrictions brought many challenges and required a production team willing to think outside the box and develop creative solutions in a completely fluid environment. This production’s primary goal was to create theatre safely while incorporating new experiences. Actors met for rehearsals one-on-one with the director, rotating rooms every 45 minutes to ensure air circulation, and everyone remained masked at all times. The show was recorded with one actor at a time, in a completely isolated and distanced environment. The entire process was in compliance with the Norse Nine guidelines.

About NKU:  Founded in 1968, we are a growing metropolitan university of more than 15,000 students served by more than 2,000 faculty and staff on a thriving suburban campus near Cincinnati. Located in the quiet suburb of Highland Heights, Kentucky—just seven miles southeast of Cincinnati—we have become a leader in Greater Cincinnati and Kentucky by providing a private school education for a fraction of the cost. While we are one of the fastest growing universities in Kentucky, our professors still know our students’ names. For more information, visit nku.edu.

CAA_Alton Brown Live logo

BEYOND THE EATS COMING TO THE ARONOFF CENTER ON MARCH 4, 2022 

Tickets on sale Friday, April 30 at 10:00 AM

[CINCINNATI, OH] – Television personality, author, and Food Network star Alton Brown has announced Alton Brown Live – Beyond The Eats (www.altonbrownlive.com) will visit the Aronoff Center’s Procter & Gamble Hall on Friday, March 4, 2022 at 7:30 PM as part of Cincinnati Arts Association’s 2021-22 Season. Brown created a new form of entertainment – the live culinary variety show – with his “Edible Inevitable Tour” and “Eat Your Science,” which played in over 200 cities (including Cincinnati) with more than 350,000 fans in attendance.

Tickets go on sale Friday, April 30 at 10:00 AM at www.CincinnatiArts.org and  (513) 621-ARTS [2787]. For Group Sales, call (513) 977-4157. Due to the pandemic, the Aronoff Center Ticket Office is closed for in-person sales until further notice. Ticket prices: $125 VIP • $65 • $50 • $35. Fans who purchase the VIP Experience will be invited to attend Alton Brown’s sound check followed by an intimate Q&A session. Prices subject to change. Applicable services fees may apply.                           

Brown says fans can expect “more cooking, more comedy, more music and more potentially dangerous science stuff.” Critics and fans have raved about the interactive components of Brown’s shows. He warns: “Prepare for an evening unlike any other and if I call for volunteers… think twice.”

Brown has a knack for mixing together science, music, and food into two hours of pure entertainment. “Plus, you’ll see things I’ve never been allowed to do on TV.”

Alton Brown has been on the Food Network for over 20 years and is best known as the creator, writer, and host of Good Eats, Good Eats: Reloaded, and Good Eats: The Return. He also hosted Cutthroat Kitchen and served as the culinary commentator on Iron Chef America. There are two James Beard awards with Brown’s name on them in a drawer in his office, and somewhere in the world there’s a coveted Peabody awarded for Good Eats that was stolen out of his car back in 2013. In his spare time, he’s working on his ninth book on food and cooking.
