THE HOUSE ON WATCH HILL Runs May 9-31

THE HOUSE ON WATCH HILL
Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati
May 9-31
[Over-the-Rhine]

By Richard Oberacker & Robert Taylor

The House on Watch Hill is a thrilling new musical full of nostalgia, heart, and a touch of the supernatural. Based on true events, it follows a group of teen misfits in the summer of 1984 who set out to build the ultimate haunted house in their Cincinnati suburb. Led by 14-year-old horror buff Patrick, their project stirs up fears far more real than any ghost story. Set to an original ’80s-inspired soundtrack and steeped in Cold War anxiety and latchkey freedom, this coming-of-age story is funny, moving, and maybe just a little spooky. A must-see for fans of Stranger Things, The Goonies, and anyone who’s ever felt like an underdog, The House on Watch Hill captures the bittersweet moment between childhood and growing up—when you’re old enough to know the world is scary but brave enough to face it anyway. Content advisory: THE HOUSE ON WATCH HILL explores the complexities of peer pressure, identity, and the rollercoaster of teenage friendships. Expect some mild to moderate spooky haunted house thrills, a few suspenseful moments, emotionally honest portrayals of adolescent anxiety, and a few mild swear words. Please be advised that this production includes flashing lights, strobe effects, and haze.

Directed by Debra Zweber

John Van Druten’s gratifyingly sentimental play shows how Mama, with the help of her husband and Uncle Chris, brings up the children in their modest San Francisco home during the early years of the 20th century. Mama, a sweet and capable manager, sees her children through childhood, manages to educate them, and helps one of her daughters begin her career as a writer. Mama’s sisters and uncle furnish a rich background for a great deal of comedy and a little incidental tragedy, while the doings of the children keep everyone in pleasant turmoil.
