Presented by Feisty Broads Productions
Jan. 8-9
Newport

Written by and featuring Cathy Springfield & Sherry McCamley

SHE’S CRAZY is a cabaret format that uses original songs and personal stories with the goal of reducing the stigma of Mental Health. The subtitle, “Mental Health and Other Myths” speaks to the idea that we all have some sort of mental health issue throughout our lifetime. One in four people in the U.S. (62 million people) has a diagnosable mental illness and the other three know someone, either a family member, a co worker, or friend, that has a mental illness; we’re all in it together! Mental Health is a combination of support and treatment. Feisty Broads Productions aims to support open discussion and decrease the fear of talking about mental illness.

The story famously recounts how the faded and promiscuous Blanche DuBois is pushed over the edge by her sexy and brutal brother-in-law, Stanley Kowalski. Streetcar launched the careers of Marlon Brando, Jessica Tandy, Kim Hunter and Karl Malden, and solidified the position of Tennessee Williams as one of the most important young playwrights of his generation. Fasten your seat belts!

Featuring Kathleen Wise

Directed by Michael Evan Haney

An unexpected pregnancy ends an ace fighter pilot’s career in the sky. Reassigned to operate remote-controlled military drones in the Middle East from a windowless trailer outside Las Vegas, she hunts terrorists by day and returns to her family each night. As the pressure to track a high-profile target mounts, the boundaries between the desert in which she lives and the one she patrols half a world away begin to blur. The struggle to navigate her dual identities may be her toughest mission yet. Content advisory: This production contains adult language may not be suitable for all audiences.

SHE_Imphigenia and Other Daughters logo2IPHIGENIA AND OTHER DAUGHTERS
SHEatre: Cincinnati Women’s Theatre
Jan. 25
Cincinnati Shakespeare Company [Downtown]

Directed Caitlin McWethy

Cast: Torie Wiggins, Sarah Fischer, Tess Talbot, Petrea Whittier & Patrick E. Phillips

Staged reading. This three-play cycle is a modern retelling of the fall of the House of Atreus. It follows the children of Clytemnestra and Agamemnon, siblings who are both players in the family tragedy and victims of it. The cycle  of blood and vengeance seems inescapable until the final reunion of a lost sister and brother brings the bloody family saga to its mystical and unlikely end.
