Alibi Players
March 13-22
Liberty Exhibition Hall [Northside]

The Governor of Ohio has just issued a ban on gatherings of 100 people or more. Please note this will NOT affect any performances of Incident At Vichy as maximum seating capacity is 75 people. All performances WILL continue as scheduled with hand sanitizer located in the building. When we reach our capacity of 75 people, our doors will close.

Directed by Alan Kootsher

Cast: Scott Unes as LeBeau, Kurt Kishler as Bayard, Chris Bishop as Marchand, Don Baker as Guard, Bob Brunner as Monceau, Jeremy Spitzig as Gypsy, Jim Waldfogle as Waiter, Jim Watson as Major, Michael Loos as Detective, Clint Bramkamp as Old Jew, John McInerney as Leduc, Jamie Ball as Police Captain, Lon Nease as Von Berg, Billy Bie as Professor, Robert Eveslage as Ferrand & Luke Randazzo as The Boy

An intense, meaningful play that deals with the Nazis’ inhuman treatment of the Jews – and the burden of guilt which all men must share. In 1942, in a makeshift detention room of a Vichy train station, eight men have been picked up for questioning. As they wait to be called, they wonder why they were chosen. One by one they disappear for interrogation until only two remain. The startling turn of events at the end of this gripping play redeems, at least in part, the concern and honor of decent men everywhere.

Cast: Elliott Handkins as Jamie Wellerstein & Lauren Magness as Catherine Hiatt

An emotionally powerful and intimate musical about two New Yorkers in their twenties who fall in and out of love over the course of five years, the show’s unconventional structure consists of Cathy, the woman, telling her story backwards while Jamie, the man, tells his story chronologically; the two characters only meet once, at their wedding in the middle of the show.

OUR WORLD and THE REWRITE on March 10

CPI_logoOUR WORLD and THE REWRITE
Cincinnati Playwrights Initiative
March 10
Aronoff Center Fifth Third Bank Theatre [Downtown]

Three related scenes — Bang, Bang; Aisle 3, Seat 7; Thoughts & Prayers — under the umbrella title OUR WORLD comprise the first part. The plays by Jim Flavin add up to tragedy emanating from our country’s besetting sin of greed.

The evening’s Part Two is Gray Shaw’s THE REWRITE, which is just what the title says it is.  A playwright constantly tinkers with his work, frustrating his characters and pushing them toward comedic rebellion.
