THE BREEZE BENDS THE GRASS on March 5-7

FT_Breeze Bends the GrassTHE BREEZE BENDS THE GRASS
Presented by Falcon Theater
March 5-7
Newport

In 1915, there were a handful of women artists. Four of them changed the rules: Painter Marie Goth; Metal Artist Janet Payne Bowles; Landscape Artist Selma Steele; and Ceramacists, The Overbeck Sisters.

At turns poignant and hilarious, THE BREEZE BENDS THE GRASS is a musical and visual pastiche of the lives and struggles of women artists amidst the Arts & Crafts movement of the early 20th century and is the collaboration of three award-winning writers: composer, Krista Detor; author, Arbutus Cunningham and playwright T.K. Lee. The director, Danielle Bruce and cast of performers are stellar and this traveling show is funded, in part, by the Indiana Arts Commission Individual Artists Grant and Women’s Way.

PIP_BuzzerBUZZER
Presented by Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park
March 21-April 19
Eden Park

Directed by Timothy Douglas

Cast: Eric Lynch as Jackson, Alec Shaw as Don & Carly Zen as Suzy

Jackson, a young black lawyer, can’t wait to flaunt his success when he moves back to the rapidly gentrifying neighborhood of his youth with his girlfriend Suzy and troubled best friend Don, both white. While the trio grapples with the racial and sexual tensions simmering inside and outside their apartment, Jackson also struggles with the opposition between what he used to be and what he’s become in this compelling, thought-provoking and darkly funny new play.

THE DIXIE SWIM CLUB Runs March 13-21

TROY_logoTHE DIXIE SWIM CLUB
Presented by Troy Civic Theatre
March 13-21
Troy

Five Southern women, whose friendships began many years ago on their college swim team, set aside a long weekend every August to recharge those relationships. Free from husbands, kids and jobs, they meet at the same beach cottage on the North Carolina Outer Banks to catch up, laugh and meddle in each other’s lives. The Dixie Swim Club focuses on four of those weekends and spans a period of thirty-three years. A hilarious and touching comedy about friendships that last forever.

Shakespeare Competition Judges Needed

ESU_logoDue to pending weather conditions, the annual Shakespeare Competition semi-finals for area high school students, which was originally scheduled to be held tomorrow (Saturday, 2/21) at Playhouse in the Park has been postponed until next Saturday, 2/28.  The finals, to be held at Cincinnati Shakespeare Company, have been postponed to Saturday, March 7.  Unfortunately, several of the people who had agreed to serve as volunteer judges for this competition are not able to work around the changed dates.  Our hope is that the good people in our community theatre network will step up and step in.

The approximate times are as follows:

  • Semi-Finals: Saturday, February 28, 8AM – 2PM, Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park
  • Finals: Saturday, March 7, 10AM – 3PM, Cincinnati Shakespeare Company

If you are willing to serve as a judge and would like more information, please contact Janice Flanagan at jlfkatie@msn.com.
