‘TIL BETH DO US PART Runs Jan. 24-Feb. 2

BCT_Til Beth Do Us Part‘TIL BETH DO US PART
Presented by Beavercreek Community Theatre
Jan. 24-Feb. 2
Beavercreek

Directed by Dionne Meyer

Cast: Jennie Hawley as Suzannah, Steve Strawser as Gibby, Dawn Roth Smith as Margo,
Craig Smith as Hank, Jill Proudfoot as Beth & Nancy Albert as Celia

In this side-splitting comic romp about marriage, career-driven Suzannah Hayden needs more help on the home front than she’s getting from her husband, Gibby. Enter Beth Bailey, Suzannah’s newly-hired assistant, a gregarious, highly-motivated daughter of the South. To Suzannah’s delight, Beth explodes into the Hayden household and whips it into an organized, well-run machine. This couldn’t have happened at a better time for Suzannah, since her boss, Celia Carmichael, the C.E.O. of Carmichael’s Chocolates, is flying in soon for an important make-or-break business dinner. Gibby grows increasingly wary as Beth insinuates herself into more and more aspects of their lives. When he realizes it’s Suzannah’s career Beth is really after, Gibby sets out to save his marriage aided by Suzannah’s best friend, Margo. Their effort to stop Beth at any cost sets up the wildly funny climax in which things go uproariously awry just as Suzannah’s boss arrives for that all-important dinner.

CLYBOURNE PARK Runs Jan. 18-Feb. 16

PIP_Clybourne ParkCLYBOURNE PARK
Presented by Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park
Jan. 18-Feb. 16
Eden Park

Directed by Timothy Douglas

Called “ferociously smart” by The New York Times and “uproariously funny” by Entertainment Weekly, CLYBOURNE PARK is the most acclaimed play of the decade — winner of the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award for Best Play. In two acts set 50 years apart, the same Chicago bungalow sits at a volatile intersection of race and real estate, initially in 1959 with its sale to the neighborhood’s first black family, and then in 2009, during the first wave of role-reversing gentrification. While the stakes have changed, the debate remains strikingly familiar in this razor-sharp satire.

Advisory: CLYBOURNE PARK is recommended for adults and older teenage audiences. It contains adult themes, racial conversations and strong adult language. Please contact the Box Office if you have questions or require additional information.

  • In preview Sat, Jan. 18 at 8pm & Sun, Jan. 19 at 2pm. $30 seats available.

THE SOUND OF MUSIC Runs Jan. 17-26

TC_Sound of MusicTHE SOUND OF MUSIC
Presented by The Carnegie & Kentucky Symphony Orchestra
Jan. 17-26
Covington

Directed by Brian Robertson
Musical Direction by James R. Cassidy

Reviews |

In the majestic hills of Austria, under the looming shadow of Nazi Germany, free-spirited Maria leaves the abbey to serve as nanny to the motherless children of the austere Captain Von Trapp. With song and boundless love, Maria restores joy to the children’s home and finds unexpected feelings for their father, whose heart has warmed with “the sound of music.”

Perhaps the most beloved score in musical theatre, including “The Sound of Music,” “My Favorite Things,” “Do-Re-Mi,” “So Long, Farewell,” “Climb Ev’ry Mountain” and “Edelweiss,” This lightly staged production of THE SOUND OF MUSIC takes flight under the baton of James R. Cassidy and members of the Kentucky Symphony Orchestra.
