Stagecrafters Inc.
May 5-13
Sharonville Cultural Arts Center

Directed by Michael L. Morehead

Cast: Jessica Faye, Clare Graff, Beth Marthaler-Griffin, Liz Koch, Darren Lee, Kaitrin McCoy, Ilana Milberg & Lauren Woodiwiss

Jake, a novelist who is more successful with fiction than with life, faces a marital crisis by daydreaming about the women in his life. The wildly comic and sometimes moving flashbacks played in his mind are interrupted by visitations from actual females. Jake’s women include a revered first wife who was killed years earlier in an accident, his daughter who is recalled as a child but is now a young woman, his boisterous and bossy sister, an opinionated analyst, his current wife who is leaving Jake for another man, and a prospective third wife.

TDW_The Sting logoTHE STING
The Drama Workshop
May 4-20
Glenmore Playhouse [Cheviot]

Directed by Fred Hunt
Produced by Elaine Volker

Cast: Valeria Amburgey as Mrs. Vanderkieft, Erica Beimesche as Cynthia Hasting, Amanda Borchers as Billie, Chris Bishop as Henry Gondorff, Nathan Henegar as Johnny Hooker, Kevin Noll as Doyle Lonnegan, Jack Williams as Luther, Whitney Ball, Dan Bathe, Meagan Blasch, Clint Bramkamp, Trisha Cooper, Adam Drake, Gretchen Gantner, Neil Geoppinger, Julie Jordan, Cathy Judge, Ben Lacy, Camron Lacy, Ray Lebowski, Burt McCollom, Russ McGee, Mark Miller, Kaitlyn Moss, Gail Nixon, Ray Persing, Bill Rinehart, Erin Marie Schwartz, Kent Smith, Michael Urriquia, Jim Waldfogle, Lee Anne Waldfogle, Joe Ward, Matt Wick & Mike Williams

The excitement, maneuvers and comedy of the Paul Newman/Robert Redford screen triumph have been brilliantly adapted for stage production – in 1936 Chicago, small-time grifter Johnny Hooker joins forces with master con man Henry Gondorf to exact revenge on a powerful racketeer. The explosive excitement will have the audience guessing and gasping as it builds to the final con movement.

Walt, a gentle-natured leader of a Christian retreat, has devoted decades of his life to “curing” gay teens of their homosexuality. Packing up his life and preparing for a reluctant retirement, Walt is pressured into accepting one last client.
