PIPPIN runs Aug. 19-Sept. 3

PIPPIN
Presented by The Carnegie and Commonwealth Theatre Company
Aug. 19-Sept. 3
Covington

War, politics, women; nothing seems to bring fulfillment for young Prince Pippin. As he searches for his “corner of the sky,” a fantastical band of players guides Pippin on a tortuous journey to a spectacular and deadly finale. Bursting with energetic Fosse choreography and hip tunes by three-time Oscar-winning composer Stephen Schwartz, PIPPIN is a fun, sexy and dangerous fairy tale of self-discovery.

Directed by Ken Jones
Music directed by Jamey Strawn
Choreographed by Jane Green & Jay Goodlett

CHILDREN OF EDEN runs Aug. 11-20

CHILDREN OF EDEN
Presented by East Side Players
Aug. 11-20
Blue Ash 

CHILDREN OF EDEN is a two-act musical play with music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz and a book by John Caird. The musical is based on the Book of Genesis. Act I tells the story of Adam and Eve, Cain, and Abel, and Act II deals with Noah and the Flood. While using the Bible as a plot source, it freely deviates in many details, and is a story of parents and children without a specifically religious point-of-view.

  • Thu-Sun, Aug. 11-14 at 7:30pm
  • Wed-Sat, Aug. 17-20 at 7:30pm
