TRIBES Runs Jan. 29-Feb. 22

ETC_TribesTRIBES
Presented by Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati
Jan. 29-Feb. 22
Over-the-Rhine

Directed by Michael Evan Haney

Meet Billy: the deaf son of a fiercely outspoken family obsessed with self-expression. He has adapted brilliantly to his family’s unconventional ways, but they’ve never bothered to return the favor. However, when he finds a new family in the deaf community, tensions reach an all-time high in this touching play about membership in your tribe. With excoriating dialogue and sharp, compassionate insights, this is a savage, funny look at family dynamics, belonging and the limitations of communication. Content advisory: This production contains strong language and adult themes and may not be suitable for all audiences.

SISTER ACT tells the hilarious story of Deloris Van Cartier, a wannabe diva whose life takes a surprising turn when she witnesses a crime and the cops hide her in the last place anyone would think to look—a convent!

A sparkling tribute to the universal power of friendship, SISTER ACT is reason to rejoice!.

DIG IT! Runs Jan. 24-Feb. 1

PLOTT_Dig ItDIG IT!
Presented by P.L.O.T.T. Performers
Jan. 24-Feb. 1
Camp Dennison

An interactive dinner mystery. The show is set in the Wild West. Audience members are encouraged to dress in period wear. Seating is limited, so get your tickets early.

Building the chapters of one’s life may lead to a best seller. Writing the pages takes you on a journey of happiness, sorrow, greed and betrayal. Some books are put on a shelf to collect dust because the memories are too painful. Secrets will keep it there to haunt you. Truth will be realized when another reads the pages. Closing the book does not end the heartache.

Directed by Jason Bruffy

Cast: Wesley Carman, Ken Early, Annie Fitzpartrick, Lauren Hayes & Torie Wiggins

In the wake of tragedy, mythology meets a search for answers.

A local tragedy disrupts what began as a perfectly ordinary morning in the Miller’s typical suburban kitchen. This strange occurrence allows mother Elizabeth and son Bailey only a few hours in which to reconnect. But things get stranger still with fragmented news reports that won’t long be silenced, the appearance of a talkative three-headed dog, and a refrigerator that will not sit still. Mixing mythological elements with a contemporary setting, playwright Steve Yockey explores tragedy, loss, and the way love can blind us to the truth in this poignant and evocative new script, presented as part of a National New Play Network Rolling world premiere.
