MPI Announces THE LAST ROMANCE

MPI_Last Romance logoMariemont Players presents THE LAST ROMANCE, a tender romantic comedy by Joe DiPietro (Over the River and Through the Woods), at the Walton Creek Theater, 4101 Walton Creek Road (just East of Mariemont), March 7th through March 23rd, 2014.

A story that mixes heartbreak with humor and opera with laughter, ponders the question “Am I too old for romance?” On an ordinary day in a routine life Ralph takes a different path — one that leads him to an unexpected second chance at love. As he attempts to woo the elegant, but distant, Carol, Ralph embarks on the trip of a lifetime, and regains a happiness that seemed all but lost.

THE LAST ROMANCE is directed by Michael L. Morehead, produced by Laura Bathe, and features Bill Hartnett as Ralph Bellini, Chessie Vigran as Carol Reynolds and Anne Wrider as Rose Bellini.

Performances will be at 8:00pm on March 7th, March 8th, March 14th, March 15th and March 21st; at 2:00pm on March 9th and March 23rd; at 7:30pm on March 13th and March 20th; at 2:00pm & 7:00pm on March 16th; and at 3:00pm & 8:00pm on March 22nd.

Beavercreek

Directed by Chris Harmon

Based on Stephen King’s bestselling novel, and set today in the small town of Chamberlain, Maine, Carrie White is a misfit. At school, she’s an outcast who’s bullied by the popular crowd, and virtually invisible to everyone else. At home, she’s at the mercy of her loving but cruelly over-protective mother. But Carrie’s just discovered she’s got a special power, and if pushed too far, she’s not afraid to use it.

ROUNDING THIRD Runs March 7-15

MLT_Rounding ThirdROUNDING THIRD
Presented by Middletown Lyric Theatre
March 7-15
Middletown

Directed by Nathan Greer

Cast: Michael Schlotterbeck as Michael & Bob Brunner as Don

ROUNDING THIRD is the tumultuous journey of two Little League coaches through an entire season, from their first tentative meeting to the climactic championship game. Despite their differences, Michael and Don form an uneasy alliance for the benefit of the team. And over the course of exhilarating victories, heartbreaking defeats, and interminable rain-outs, the two men battle over how to lead the team. Michael believes that the job of the coaches is to shield the kids from the intense pressure of competition while making sure everyone has a good time. Don thinks they should be teaching the kids how to win. Out of these conflicting philosophies, the real issues of the play emerge: how should we raise our children? By the end of the play, Don’s personal life has come crashing down around him and he’s forced to see both his son and the team in a different light. And Michael must confront an unfamiliar but powerful sensation: he really wants to win.
