GREATER TUNA
Presented by Covedale Center for the Performing Arts
Jan. 22-Feb. 15
West Price Hill

Directed by Bob Brunner

Cast: Matthew Wilson and Justin Smith

What do Arles Struvie, Thurston Wheelis, Aunt Pearl, Petey Fisk, Phineas Blye and Rev. Spikes have in common? In this hilarious send-up of small town morals and mores, they are all among the upstanding citizens of Tuna, Texas’ third smallest town.  The play’s two actors play all twenty characters in a revolving parade of uproarious situations. This show’s so much fun you might want to move to the Lone Star state to meet all these crazy, fun folks!  Greater Tuna is one of the most produced plays in American theatre history!

FAMILY SHOTS
Presented by Human Race Theatre Company
Jan. 22-Feb. 8
Dayton

Directed by Kevin Moore

Cast: Corbin Bleu, Adam Halpin, Arash Mokhtar, Annie Pesch, Colleen Zenk & Randy Brooks

Charming family patriarch Sam Baker lies in a hospital bed, recovering from an apparent heart attack, but his wife, Marsha, won’t stop making the crisis all about her—much to the dismay of their son, Aaron. The young photographer wonders why his parents even stay together while he and his husband, Malcolm, deal with their own issues as newlyweds. Intimate, yet universal, Michael Slade’s latest play is a wildly funny and touching comedy about marriage—its joys, challenges and responsibilities—and what’s worth fighting for.

RING OF FIRE: THE MUSIC OF JOHNNY CASH
Presented by Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park
Jan. 17-Feb. 15

The songs tell the story in this tribute to a singer who broke barriers and left an unmatched legacy with roots in folk, gospel, rock and country. Directed by and featuring Jason Edwards, who starred in the show on Broadway, this musical celebration of the Man in Black spotlights nearly 35 classic songs, including “I Walk the Line,” “Jackson,” “A Boy Named Sue” and “Folsom Prison Blues.” A rousing portrait of home and family, love and loss, faith and redemption, RING OF FIRE lifts your heart and stirs your soul. Advisory: RING OF FIRE is appropriate for adults and teenage audiences.

SOMETHING SOMETHING NEW VAGINA Runs Jan. 9-10

KTC_Something Something New VaginaSOMETHING SOMETHING NEW VAGINA
Presented by Cincinnati Fringe Festival
Jan. 9-10
Over-the-Rhine 

A 2014 Cincy Fringe Encore. SOMETHING SOMETHING NEW VAGINA is a solo performance about loving one’s self and one’s body. It’s also about a vagina: Rebecca Kling’s fancy new vagina. Kling was previously seen at CincyFringe in 2012 with Storms Beneath Her Skin; now she’s back (she was never one to call it clits) and is ready to tackle issues of identity without ovary-acting. Climaxing with a Strip Q&A, you’d be doing yourself a dis-cervix if you miss it.

Rebecca Kling is a transgender artist and educator who explores gender and identity through solo pieces and educational workshops. Her multidisciplinary performances incorporate conversational storytelling, personal narrative, humor, movement, and more. Kling takes the position that sharing accessible queer narrative with a wide audience is a form of activism, and that understanding combats bigotry. She regularly tours to colleges, universities, and theatre festivals across the country, and has received praise from media outlets coast to coast.
