A CHRISTMAS CAROL
Presented by Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park
Nov. 27-Dec. 29

Directed by Michael Evan Haney

Featuring: Bruce Cromer as Ebenenzer Scrooge

Ebenezer Scrooge undergoes a miraculous Christmas Eve transformation as he views with new eyes his past, present and the possibilities of the future. As he witnesses all those who have improved his life — his first love Belle, his kindhearted employer Fezziwig, his nephew Fred and his heartily abused clerk Bob Cratchit — he realizes that it’s never too late to change his miserly ways. Suitable for all general audiences, including children ages 5 and older.

OVER THE RIVER AND THROUGH THE WOODS Runs Nov. 14-24

BVCT_logoOVER THE RIVER AND THROUGH THE WOODS
Presented by Brookville Community Theatre
Nov. 14-24
Brookville

Directed by Sharon Henry

Cast: Linda Ebright, Barbara Lurie, Mike Robinson, Andrew Shamblin, Harry Shepard & Gracie Jimison

Nick is a single, Italian-American guy from New Jersey who initially thinks that family is merely something to be tolerated. His parents retired to Florida, but that doesn’t mean his family isn’t still in Jersey. In fact, he sees both sets of his grandparents every Sunday for dinner. This is routine until he has to tell them that he has been offered a dream job (marketing executive) which would take him away from his beloved, but annoying grandparents. The news does not sit well. Thus begins a series of schemes to keep Nick around. How could he betray his family’s love to move to Seattle for a job? Well, Frank, Aida, Nunzio and Emma do their level best, and that includes bringing to dinner the lovely and single, Caitlin as bait!

TWELFTH NIGHT
Presented by Cincinnati Shakespeare Company
Nov. 22-Dec. 15
Downtown

Reviews: Behind the Curtain |

Directed by Sara Clark

Cast: Billy Chace* as Antonio, Charlie Cromer as Sebastian, Jeremy Dubin* as Feste, Jim Hopkins* as Sir Toby, Justin King as Fabian, Matt Lytle as Captain/Priest, Justin McCombs* as Sir Andrew Aguecheek, Miranda McGee as Maria, Caitlin McWethy as Valentine, Corinne Mohlenhoff* as Olivia, Maggie Lou Rader as Viola, Paul Riopelle* as Malvolio, Zach Schute as Curio/Officer & Brent Vimtrup* as Orsino
*Member of AEA

In the wake of a shipwreck, Lady Viola washes up on the shores of Ilyria, penniless and alone. Disguising herself as a boy, she procures employment delivering love letters from the amorous Duke Orsino to the object of his infatuation, the aloof Lady Olivia. Things get sticky when Viola herself falls for the lovesick Duke, then stickier still when Lady Olivia falls for the disguised Viola. Add into the mix a drunken uncle, a prudish steward and a wise-cracking fool, and you’ve got a knot only time can untangle. Enjoy a traditional Elizabethan staging of this classic Shakespearean gender-bender.
