BELOVED MELODIES and BANDSTAND Cancelled at Cincinnati Music Theatre

cmt_logoDear Cincinnati Music Theatre Members and Donors,

Due to uncertainty related to the ever-evolving COVID-19 pandemic, we are sorry to inform you that our shows planned for the fall of this year, including Beloved Melodies in the Fifth Third Bank Theater in September and Bandstand in the Jarson-Kaplan Theater in November, have been cancelled. The shows we have planned for Spring 2021 will be re-evaluated on a show-by-show basis as time passes and we monitor the continued effects of the virus.

We are grateful to each and every one of you for your ongoing support of CMT. We will keep you posted as more information becomes available, but for now we request your patience as we wait. We have high hopes of presenting a full season in 2021-22.

The Arts connect us all and this is #OnlyIntermission. We need these connections now more than ever. Please stay safe and connected to each other during this trying time.

Warmest regards,
Cincinnati Music Theatre Board of Trustees
Peter B. Merten, President

Comedian Ricky Glore Set to Release His Clean Full-Length Album SPITTING IMAGE 6/19 on Circus Trapeze Records

MISC_Spitting Image coverComedian Ricky Glore (Dry Bar Comedy, The Bob & Tom Show, Laughs Per Minute) is set to release his first full-length album Spitting Image through Circus Trapeze Records on
June 19th, 2020.

Glore said of the album, “I’ve had an amazing time working on this show the past couple years performing at comedy clubs, colleges, theaters, wineries, breweries, bars, Utah, basically anywhere there was a group of people willing to listen.”

The album was recorded in front of a sold-out crowd at the Burning Bridges Comedy Club in Pittsburgh, PA earlier this year where Glore delighted the audience with jokes
about his new baby, growing up in Kentucky, and how he learned to nail celebrity impressions. Glore honed the material over months on the road headlining shows across the country, and he’s excited to get it out into the world.

Circus Trapeze Records founder Glen Tickle said, “When Ricky first reached out I wasn’t
familiar with his work, but after seeing him perform there was no question that I wanted to work together. I’m really proud to have produced the album and I think audiences are going to love it.”

Spitting Image drops on June 19th on all digital platforms, and CDs are available through the Circus Trapeze Records store at circustrapeze.com/rickyglore
