We want to believe that serendipity brings us together, but how often do we travel parallel paths through the world without noticing? From an ailing woman who plans one final trip, to her daughter planning one great escape, and her son falling prey to a prank gone wrong, this funny, intimate, and heartbreaking play explores the lives that may be happening just out of reach of our own. Following a web of characters whose interwoven lives collide but never quite connect, This Random World shows us that, through the power of chance, we might be closer to each other than we know.

NEXT TO NORMAL Runs Oct. 4-21

WFIT_Next to Normal logoNEXT TO NORMAL
Warsaw Federal Incline Theater
Oct. 4-21
[East Price Hill]

Directed & choreographed by Matthew Wilson
Music directed by Brian Hoffman

Cast: Lesley Hitch as Diana, Brian Anderson as Dan, Leslie Kelly as Natalie, Tanner Gleeson as Gabe, Elliot Handkins as Henry & Derek Harper as Dr. Madden/Dr. Fine

NEXT TO NORMAL explores how one suburban household copes with crisis and mental illness. Winner of three 2009 Tony Awards, including Best Musical Score and the 2010 Pulitzer Prize, Next to Normal was named “one of the year’s ten best shows” by critics around the country, including The Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, Rolling Stone and The New York Times.

Dad’s an architect; Mom packs lunches and pours cereal; their daughter and son are bright, wise-cracking teens in a typical American family. And yet their lives are anything but normal; mother has been battling manic depression for 16 years. Next to Normal takes audiences into the minds and hearts of each character, with deep love and sympathy.  An emotional powerhouse encompassing grieving a loss, bewildering psychiatry and modern life.

Haunted Brewery Tours

The Project: Haunted Brewery Tours: Can You Solve the Mystery? is a brand-new interactive experience supporting the Brewery District Community Urban Redevelopment Corporation, created in cooperation with Christian Moerlein Brewing, The Cincinnati Escape Room and Cincinnati Landmark Productions.

Debuting October 5 and running Friday and Saturday evenings throughout October, the Haunted Brewery Tours will take patrons on a trip back in time to meet actual colorful (and doomed!) characters in Cincinnati brewing history. Or are they? Of the five historic vignettes on the tour, four are real but one is fiction. There are clues and hands-on, interactive puzzles along the way to help you solve the mystery. Will your group guess correctly? If you do, a special prize and your place in history await you.

Roles: Actors (ages 18-60) needed for historic characters and interactive tour guides. Improv/atmo experience preferred but not required.

Commitment: Actors would be needed for all event dates (Friday/Saturday nights in October). LIMITED conflicts could be accommodated for preferred talent. There would be 2 rehearsals scheduled before opening.

Pay: $500 stipend, paid at conclusion of the event.

The game is centered around a criminal underworld gala where the players will represent international criminal organizations.

Roles:

  • Aiden – 20-40 years old. Waiter or Waitress. This role can be played by a male or female. An exceptional high-end server with a criminal streak. Morally ambiguous. A con artist.
