Part two of CSC’s special theatrical event, Antony and Cleopatra is the rarely-staged epic sequel to Julius Caesar. The victors of Rome’s civil war have divided the Empire amongst themselves, and Marc Antony has traveled to exotic Egypt to take up rule over his corner of the globe. There he encounters Egypt’s mysterious monarch, the irresistibly entrancing Cleopatra. Their impassioned love affair ultimately pits their two countries against each other and will change the face of the ancient world forever.

THE BUZZER Runs April 21-30

GPTC_The Buzzer logoTHE BUZZER
GoodPeople Theatre Co
April 21-30
First Lutheran Church [Over-the-Rhine]

Written and directed by Mollie Jeanette Amburgey

Cast: Meredith Bowen as Ali, Jonathan Gaietto as Eric, Nathan Henegar as Will & Torie Pate Perdue as Spirit.

THE BUZZER tells the story of an everyday modern woman named Ali, who thinks she is supposed to arrive at a marketing corporation for an interview, but instead is approached by a supreme being – whether that being god, the devil, or an unknown spiritual element. With the exception of death, “Spirit” gives Ali the chance to alter three instances in her life through the click of one object: a buzzer.

But when Frank’s lies catch the attention of FBI agent Carl Hanratty, Carl chases Frank to the end…and finds something he never expected.
