JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT
Presented by Encore Youth Theatre
July 25-28
Hamilton

In this retelling of the Biblical story, Joseph is a handsome young man who is his father’s favorite child, able to interpret dreams, and the bearer of an amazing coat. These facts lead Joseph’s eleven brothers to become insatiably jealous. Thus, they sell Joseph into slavery to some passing Ishmaelites. After refusing the advances of his owner’s wife, Joseph is sent to jail. Once in jail, he quickly becomes popular due to his ability to interpret dreams. The Pharaoh soon hears of Joseph’s ability and appoints him to the post of Number Two man in Egypt. Years later, Joseph’s now starving brothers arrive in Egypt and ask Joseph, whom they don’t recognize, for assistance. Joseph, in turn, gives his brothers a scare, but eventually grants them all they desire, reveals his identity, and reunites the family. Dancing in the show requires all types of styles. -StageAgent

For all you John and Jane Waynes out there, stories of perseverance and survival!

The mission of True Theatre is to bring together a wide variety of people to share stories in an effort to create community, encourage discussion, and remind everyone that ALL of us have stories to tell with unique insights and broad appeal. Though storytelling can take on many forms, True Theatre realizes that what great stories have in common are their power to hold attention, slow time, and capture the imagination. They may redden cheeks, make eyes water, and elicit eruptions of laughter. They take you somewhere. Although great storytelling is not limited to true, personal stories, True Theatre believes that these real moments of our lives, from the mundane to the extraordinary, give both the speaker AND the listener the ultimate sense of being part of a larger community than they were aware. Come join us for an evening of True Theatre …where time slows down and we can listen.

THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES
Presented by Cincinnati Shakespeare Company
July 20-Aug. 12
Downtown

Reviews: Enquirer | CityBeat |

The legendary detective Sherlock Holmes and his assistant Dr. Watson are on the job to investigate the mysterious case of the “hound of hell” that stalks the moors. This fast-paced farcical adaptation of the classic novel is performed by only three actors tackling dozens of roles.  Physical humor and visual gags will make this production a laugh out loud treat this summer.  Will the courageous detective and his men survive the mystery of Baskerville Hall…and each other? The game is afoot in the regional premiere of this exciting adaptation of THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES.

Directed by Michael Evan Haney

Cast: Jeremy Dubin, Nicholas Rose & Brent Vimtrup
