June 5-23
Highland Heights

Local media coverage: Enquirer article |

Directed by Sandra Forman

This musical phenomenon is back in full force this summer! Down on their luck, the Little Sisters of Hoboken set out to raise money to set things right. Once it’s agreed that the best way to raise the necessary funds is to put on a variety show, the nuns get to the task of putting together the show. As the acts and egos grow more out of control, hilarity ensues. The Sister’s are sure success is assured with a Guiding Hand to help lead the way. Let’s just hope the variety show can survive the all the backstage hijinks! Includes dinner.

Presented by East Side Players
June 6-15
Blue Ash

Official casts lists |

Based on the Oscar winning Dreamworks film that started it all, brings the hilarious story of everyone’s favorite ogre to dazzling new life on the stage. In a faraway kingdom turned upside down, things get ugly when an unseemly ogre – not a handsome prince – shows up to rescue a feisty princess. Throw in a donkey who won’t shut up, a bad guy with a SHORT temper, a cookie with an attitude and dozens of other fairy tale misfits, and you’ve got the kind of mess that calls for a real hero. Luckily, there’s one on hand…and his name is Shrek. SHREK is part romance, part twisted fairly take and all irreverent fun for everyone!
