MARIAN or THE TRUE TALE OF ROBIN HOOD Runs June 28-July 6

CAST_MarianMARIAN or THE TRUE TALE OF ROBIN HOOD
Commonwealth Artists Student Theatre
June 28-July 6
Stained Glass Theatre [Newport]

Official cast list |

A gender-bending, patriarchy-smashing, hilarious new take on the classic tale. Robin Hood is (and has always been) Maid Marian in disguise and leads a motley group of Merry Men (few of whom are actually men) against the greedy Prince John. As the poor get poorer and the rich get richer, who will stand for the vulnerable if not Robin? What is the cost of revealing your true self in a time of trouble?

Modern concerns and romantic entanglements clash on the battlefield and on the ramparts of Nottingham Castle in this play about selfishness, selflessness, love deferred and the fight. Always the fight. The fight must go on.

Royal Theatre Company
June 28-30
Mason High School

Official cast list |

Based on the classic book by Roald Dahl, Matilda is the story of a little girl with astonishing wit, intelligence, and psychokinetic powers. She’s unloved by her cruel parents but impresses her schoolteacher, the highly loveable Miss Honey. Over the course of her first term at school, Matilda and Miss Honey have a profound effect on each other’s lives, as Miss Honey begins not only to recognize but appreciate Matilda’s extraordinary personality. Matilda’s school life isn’t completely smooth sailing, however – the school’s mean headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, hates children and just loves thinking up new punishments for those who don’t abide by her rules. But Matilda has courage and cleverness in equal amounts, and could be the school pupils’ saving grace!

LA TRAVIATA Runs June 27-30

CO_LA TraviataLA TRAVIATA
Cincinnati Opera
June 27-30
Music Hall Springer Auditorium [Over-the-Rhine]

Alfredo wants to be with Violetta, but love can mean different things. Alfredo toasts to true love and affection that endures, while Violetta celebrates desires that are fun, free, and fleeting. Persuaded to try another way of life, she agrees to stop playing games. But old habits die hard. Featuring one of opera’s ultimate soprano roles, La Traviata explores the passions and pitfalls of the heart. Will Violetta find love that lasts, before it’s too late? Sung in Italian with projected English translations.
