UC College-Conservatory of Music Acting
Feb. 8-12 
Patricia Corbett Theatre [University Heights]

Directed by Richard E. Hess

London 1913. Women are demanding the right to vote. Thousands of suffragettes of all classes serve time in Holloway Prison in their determination to gain equality through the vote. Their willingness to suffer for social injustice serves as the backdrop for an unlikely love story set in a period of turmoil. Described by the Independent as “a great drama about women, by a woman,” Her Naked Skin premiered to great acclaim at London’s National Theatre in 2008. By exploring the hunger for political and personal emancipation, this play plants a defiant feminist flag center stage. This production contains adult themes and is not recommend for young audiences.

  • In preview Wed, Feb. 8 at 8pm
  • Thu-Fri, Feb. 9-10 at 8pm
  • Sat, Feb. 11 at 2pm & 8pm

SUMMERLAND Runs Feb. 4-March 5

pip_summerland-logoSUMMERLAND
Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park
Feb. 4-March 5
Thompson Shelterhouse [Eden Park]

Directed by Michael Evan Haney

Cast: Whitney Maris Brown as Mrs. Mumler, Billy Finn as Joseph Tooker & Michael Rothhaar as William H. Mumler

Based on mesmerizing true events, SUMMERLAND tells the riveting tale of William H. Mumler, a spirit photographer with a talent for taking haunting images of the dead. Set in 1869, the story follows Mumler’s meteoric rise and fall, from his wildly successful studio business, which boasted Mary Todd Lincoln as a client, to his indictment for fraud. Did Mumler really capture the visits of loved ones from beyond the grave? Or were his living subjects the victims of unspeakable deception meant to prey upon their longing to believe? SUMMERLAND is a gripping and suspenseful world premiere in which the camera provides an invitation to the truth between two worlds. SUMMERLAND is appropriate for adult and teenage audiences. It contains minimal adult language, but the play’s supernatural themes may be too spooky for younger audiences.
