CARRIE the Musical at The Carnegie Runs Oct. 23-Nov. 1

CARRIE the Musical
The Carnegie & UC College-Conservatory of Music
Oct. 23-Nov. 1
[Covington]

From the twisted imagination of Stephen King comes a tale of terror, power, and teenage rage like no other. CARRIE: THE MUSICAL thrusts you into the world of Carrie White — the shy outsider bullied at school and tormented at home by her fanatically religious mother. But when she discovers a strange new power, the tables turn… and the results are explosive. Fueled by a driving rock score and raw, emotional intensity, this cult classic crackles with fear, fury, and fire — until everything ignites. Bold, bloody, and utterly unforgettable, it’s a night at the theatre you won’t escape unscathed.

Fifth Third Bank Theatre [Downtown]

A full-length play by Leo Bradley
What Might Have Been follows the trials and tribulations, successes and failures, happiness and sadness, of two men; one who follows a safe and conventional life and one who takes a riskier, more unconventional one. Both antagonists possess similar intellects, talents, and interests, which make the feasibility of either path attainable. Alternate scenes from both scenarios present narration and dialogue revealing how choices affect all facets of life – especially family, relationships, careers, security, faith, and ambition. After the choices are made, we often ponder: “what might have been?”
