In the 12th and 13th centuries, the Mongols swept across the world, led by a charismatic and powerful leader, crushing all resistance in their path, folding the conquered peoples into their empire.

Now, you the audience, with your town under siege, have the opportunity to plead your case before the Khan himself.  But first you’ll need some advice from the Khan’s most trusted adviser.

9/13/21 – You can now catch a high quality filmed version as video-on-demand (with captions available!) through the end of the month.

Cincinnati Playwright Initiative
Sept. 14
Aronoff Center Fifth Third Bank Theatre [Downtown]

Written by Susan and Doug Decatur

Gary Douglas is a dejected, recently-divorced, sixty-year-old man. He joins a men’s basketball league thinking he can return to something else he loved before. After joining the Shooting Stars basketball team, he learns that their goal becomes his: to get to the Final Four of the Senior Olympics. During this quest, Gary unexpectedly meets Susie Weston, a frustrated writer pursuing her own dreams and aspirations. Susie and Gary’s fun and poignant journey together with Gary’s teammates, and their spouses and friends, bring them all to a realization that it’s never too late to triumph in life and love.

THE OUTSIDER Runs Sept. 10-26

MPI_The Outsider logoTHE OUTSIDER
Mariemont Players Inc.
Sept. 10-26
[Walton Creek]

Directed by Douglas Berlon

Cast: Tasha Boeckmann as Paige Caldwell, Ryan Bowron as Dave Riley, Debbi Berlon as Louise Peakes, Chuck Ingram as Ned Newley, Eric Day as Arthur Vance, Jennifer Keith at Rachel Parsons & Jimmy Jackson as A.C. Petersen

Ned Newley doesn’t even want to be governor. He’s terrified of public speaking; his poll numbers are impressively bad. To his ever-supportive Chief of Staff, Ned seems destined to fail. But political consultant Arthur Vance sees things differently: Ned might be the worst candidate to ever run for office. Unless the public is looking for… the worst candidate to ever run for office. A timely and hilarious comedy that skewers politics and celebrates democracy.

9/10/21 Covid-19 Policy: Mariemont Players will be following the guidelines from the CDC in order to keep our audiences, actors, staff and crew as safe as possible. MASKS ARE REQUIRED TO BE WORN INSIDE OUR BUILDING. If you don’t have a mask with you we will gladly provide you with a disposable one.
