Grandson of the infamous Victor Frankenstein, Frederick Frankenstein (pronounced “Fronk-en-steen”) inherits his family’s estate in Transylvania. With the help of a hunchbacked sidekick, Igor (pronounced “Eye-gore”), and a leggy lab assistant, Inga (pronounced normally), Frederick finds himself in the mad scientist shoes of his ancestors. “It’s alive!” he exclaims as he brings to life a creature to rival his grandfather’s. Eventually, of course, the monster escapes and hilarity continuously abounds.

SCARED CENTLESS Runs Oct. 13-21

PLOTT_Scared Centless logoSCARED CENTLESS
P.L.O.T.T Performers
Oct. 13-21
Schoolhouse Restaurant [Camp Dennison]

Interactive dinner show. Money in the bank is NOT always a sure bet and sugar and spice are NOT always nice. A house is NOT always a home and things do NOT always turn out well. You can NOT always see the light at the end of the tunnel. Good things do NOT come in big packages and curiosity did NOT kill the cat. Death is NOT becoming or is it? Will anyone survive? Maybe, maybe NOT!

SKINNED Runs Sept. 20-24

SKINNED
Written and performed by Claire Autran
Sept. 20-24
Gabriel’s Corner [Over-the-Rhine]

Directed by Bridget Leak

SKINNED offers a look into my personal struggle with the voice and how it began to control my mind, and, as a result, my body. During my final year of university, I became interested in the ominous and oppressive qualities of the inner voice and its effects on everyday experience: how what one hears as their inner monologue warps their perception of reality. In my mind there appeared to be a duality within this voice, manifesting itself as a constant war between two modern deities: healing & disorder. I became interested in the similarities between the rhythms of the natural world (the changing of seasons, the tide, the moon cycle) and the rhythms of our bodies (the nervous system, heartbeat, breath). We have learned how to measure these patterns and yet understand so little about the mind, which moves to its own rhythm. What if we could learn to measure the way the mind ebbs and flows the way we’ve learned to measure time? Perhaps from there we could learn how to control the oppressive power of the inner monologue, where disorder and dysfunction thrive.

UC College-Conservatory of Music
Oct. 19-29
Patricia Corbett Theater [University Heights]

Directed & choreographed by Vince DeGeorge
Music direction by Luke Flood
Co-choreographed by Christopher Kelley

The CCM Sesquicentennial celebrates the work of distinguished alumnus Stephen Flaherty (BM Composition, 1982)! Now one of the most performed shows in America, Seussical is a fantastical, magical, musical extravaganza. The Tony Award-winning team of Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens (Anastasia, Once on This Island, Ragtime) have lovingly brought to life all of our favorite Dr. Seuss characters, including Horton the Elephant, The Cat in the Hat, Gertrude McFuzz, Lazy Mayzie and a little boy with a big imagination – Jojo. This colorful cast of characters transports us from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus to the invisible world of the Whos.
