OLD WOUNDS
Samantha Bamonti is an up and coming column writer, who reunites over chinese food and some wine with Matthew Holden. Although their meeting seems light and friendly in the beginning, it eventually leads into a discussion of a dark event that happened in their pasts, which they have been trying to move forward from for a very long time.

Presented by Queen City Queen Theatre Collective
Oct. 12
Below Zero Lounge [Over-the-Rhine]

Directed by Torie Wiggins

Cast: Jared Earland, Erin Carr, Mike Hall, Spenser Smith, Sara Kenny, Darnell Pierre Benjamin & Annie Kalahurka

This is the probing, hilarious and provocative story of Sidney, a disenchanted Greenwich Village intellectual, his wife Iris, an aspiring actress, and their colorful circle of friends and relations. Set against the shenanigans of a stormy political campaign, the play follows its characters in their unorthodox quests for meaningful lives in an age of corruption, alienation and cynicism. With compassion, humor and poignancy, the author examines questions concerning the fragility of love, morality and ethics, interracial relationships, drugs, rebellion, conformity and especially withdrawal from or commitment to the world.

VIDEO: Fall Play Preview: FATHER OF THE BRIDE at Cedarville University

A romantic comedy set in the ‘50s, was later made into a movie with Spencer Tracy and Elizabeth Taylor. It all starts when Stanley Banks first hears that his daughter, Kay, is engaged. Everyone else is happy—they like Kay’s football-playing fiancé—but the news is a shock to Stanley.  He struggles not only with the chaos of a growing guest list, and florists and furniture movers taking over the house, but with the realization that his little girl has grown up.

Performances run Oct. 1-11.
