Nomadic Performance Initiative Inaugural Production of THE CHILDREN’S HOUR Opens Sept. 5

NPI_logoNomadic Performance Initiative Invites Audiences to “Wonder With Purpose” During THE CHILDREN’S HOUR

Set in a fictional New England town in the 1930s, THE CHILDREN’S HOUR tells the story of two women who are unjustly accused of homosexual activity by one of their students. The outraged community quickly withdraws all of their students, causing a witch hunt that ultimately forces the school to close. A relevant and haunting reminder of the power of words, lies and intolerance.

Past productions of THE CHILDREN’S HOUR featured artists such as Audrey Hepburn, Shirley MacLaine, James Garner, Elisabeth Moss and Keira Knightley.

The cast includes: Blair Godshall as Martha Dobie, Katrina Reynolds as Lily Mortar, Tony Newton as Joseph Cardin, Jennifer Trier as Amelia Tilford, Lexi Rigsby as Mary Tilford, Kayla Vogel as Karen Wright, Katie Keller as Rosalie Wells, Erin East as Peggy Rogers, Brooke Singleton as Agatha, Emily Keller as Evelyn Munn, Emma Wolfe as Lois Fisher, TBA as Helen Burton, TBA as Catherine & Ethan Glahn as Grocery Boy.

THE CHILDREN’S HOUR is directed by Farley Norman and produced by NPI founder Blair Godshall.

Performances run Sept. 5-8, 2019 at the Lincoln Grant Scholar House, 824 Greenup Street, Covington, KY 41011. Curtain is 7:30pm on Thursday-Saturday with the closing Sunday matinee at 2pm.

Tickets
General admission tickets are $15. For groups of 10 or more, tickets are $10 each. Tickets are available online at https://childrenshourplay.bpt.me.

The Nomadic Performance Initiative, founded by Blair Elizabeth Godshall, started in 2019 as a way to provide opportunities for artistic expression by showcasing the complex roles women play (both onstage and off) with the hope of reaching new audiences and creating community. As nomads travel, we believe mobility is the most efficient strategy for discovering scarce resources. We strive to replace scarcity with abundance. Please join us for our inaugural production of “The Children’s Hour” as we “wander with purpose.”

Free public performance of excerpts on Wednesday, September 4

Funded by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the workshop offers the combined resources of Cincinnati Opera and the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music to further the development of new American opera 

CINCINNATI, OH—Cincinnati Opera and the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music (CCM) are pleased to announce that their groundbreaking joint program, Opera Fusion: New Works, will host a residency for the new opera Castor and Patience from August 26 through September 4, 2019, in Cincinnati.

Castor and Patience, with music by composer Gregory Spears and libretto by Pulitzer Prize-winning poet and former U.S. poet laureate Tracy K. Smith, has been commissioned by Cincinnati Opera in honor of its 100th anniversary season and will receive its world premiere as part of the company’s 2020 Summer Festival. It will be Spears’s second work for the company, following the extraordinary critical and popular success of Fellow Travelers, with librettist Greg Pierce, in 2016.

During the Opera Fusion: New Works residency, the work’s creative team will collaborate with singers and musicians for a 10-day workshop, culminating in a public performance of excerpts on September 4 at 7:30 p.m. in Music Hall’s Wilks Studio.

Workshop:
August 26-September 4, 2019 

Public performance:
Wednesday, September 4, 7:30 p.m.
Music Hall’s Wilks Studio, 1241 Elm Street, Cincinnati
Tickets are free, but reservations are required; call (513) 241-2742 beginning August 20 at 10 a.m.

Castor and Patience, with music by composer Gregory Spears and libretto by Pulitzer Prize-winning poet and former U.S. poet laureate Tracy K. Smith, tells the story of African American cousins who find themselves at odds over the fate of a historic parcel of land they have inherited in the American South. According to Smith, “It’s 2008, and Patience is fighting to stave off overzealous developers. Castor has a ballooning mortgage to contend with and is hoping to sell his share of the land. But if they’re going to get anywhere as a family, they must first learn to see past their differing allegiances and trust one another. Castor and Patience is the story not just of a single family or even a particular geography, but of America’s warring tensions between reckoning with the hard facts of history and racing blindly forward toward the dream of progress.”

Castor and Patience will receive its world premiere at Cincinnati’s School for Creative and Performing Arts as part of Cincinnati Opera’s 2020 Summer Festival. For tickets and details, visit cincinnatiopera.org.

ETC Opens 2019-2020 Season with Tony award Winning Musical FUN HOME

ETC_Fun Home logoCome to the Bechdel Family Fun Home!

Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati Opens 2019-2020 Season with
Tony award Winning Musical Fun Home, August 31 — September 28, 2019

(Cincinnati, OH) Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati opens its 2019-2020 arts season with the regional premiere of Fun Home – a memoir musical based on the graphic novel by Alison Bechdel, with lyrics and book by Lisa Kron and music by Jeanine Tesori. In this highly anticipated musical, Alison Bechdel’s coming-of-age memoir depicts the evolution of her young life, her identity, and the secrets that defined her family and her upbringing. Playing August 31-September 28, 2019. Directed by D. Lynn Meyers.

Hailed as one of Broadway’s most original musicals and the winner of 5 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, this is the groundbreaking story inspired by the best-selling graphic memoir. Alison’s father, Bruce, was an enigmatic, brilliant man whose secrets defined her family and her life. Bruce taught high school English, ran the family’s funeral home business, and was obsessed with restoring their old house. When he dies unexpectedly, Alison digs deeply into her childhood memories to explore and unravel the mysteries of her childhood and the surprising secrets that shaped her life.

“I believe that this show is an essential piece of theatre – it addresses universal values in terms of family, forgiveness, and understanding, as well as our ability to love and accept ourselves as the individuals that we are,” said director D. Lynn Meyers. “Jeanine Tesori’s music has been an enormous influence on my work, having directed Violet here twice. Once I heard she was doing a new musical I had to do it, and I’ve waited four years for the rights to Fun Home. I believe Cincinnati needs to share Alison’s story, and with the remarkable cast we have to do that it will certainly be something everyone needs to see.”

The Fall, Cincinnati Shakespeare Company Presents the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winning, AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY

CSC_August Osage County promo

Leslie Brott as Violet Weston.

Wildly comic and deeply moving this searing family drama will stay with you for days after, playing September 6- 28, 2019

Cincinnati, August 8, 2019 – Cincinnati Shakespeare Company continues its 2019-2020 Season of the Woman at The Otto M. Budig Theater with Tracy Letts’ August: Osage County. The production is directed by Producing Artistic Director, Brian Isaac Phillips, and features a 13 person cast with CSC returning favorites Leslie Brott as Violet Weston, and Corinne Mohlenhoff, as Weston’s eldest daughter, Barbara Fordham.

This Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winning family drama centers around Violet, the pill-addicted and scathingly manipulative matriarch of the Weston family. When her husband disappears, the rest of the clan is brought together for an unexpected reunion where old wounds are reopened and buried secrets brought to light. By turns vicious, funny, harrowing, and heartbreaking, August: Osage County is an American classic in the making.

August: Osage County is a play by Tracy Letts. Written in 2007, August: Osage County first premiered at the Steppenwolf Theatre in Chicago on June 28, 2007. The following year, the play received the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the Tony Award for Best Play and has since been performed across the country. It was made into a film starring Meryl Streep as Violet and Julia Roberts as Barbara in 2013. The NY Sun wrote, “Packed with unforgettable characters and dozens of quotable lines, August: Osage County is a tensely satisfying comedy, interspersed with remarkable evocations on the cruelties and (occasional) kindnesses of family life” while NY Newsday wrote “This is a play that will leave us laughing and wondering, shuddering and smiling, long after the house lights come back on.”

CSC is very pleased to welcome guest actor, Isabella Star LaBlanc from Minnesota. LaBlanc is making her Cincinnati Shakespeare debut as the pivotal role, Johnna, a Cheyenne woman hired to care for Violet and the Weston home. LaBlanc was one of twelve selected nationally for CBS’s Drama Diversity Casting Initiative. CSC would also like to respectfully acknowledge the Osage, Shawnee, and Miami People who have stewarded the land we are currently located on throughout the generations. The land of present-day Cincinnati, once home to the Osage Nation, is the same nation from which the location and title of August: Osage County are drawn.

The creative team transforming The Otto M. Budig Theater stage into a well-worn, American family home is made up of Shannon Moore (Scenic Designer), Justen N. Locke (Lighting Designer), Douglas J. Borntrager (Sound Designer), Clara Jean Kelly (Costume Designer), and D’Arcy Smith (Dialect Coach). They are joined by Intimacy and Fight Director, Alicia Rodis.

August: Osage County runs September 6-28, 2019 with performances on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 7:30 PM and Sundays at 2:00 PM, as well as Saturday September 28 at 2:00 PM.  Preview performances are Wednesday, September 4th and Thursday, September 5th at 7:30 PM and tickets are $45.  Advance sale single ticket prices start at $28.  Day-of Student Rush tickets are $14 and may be purchased thirty minutes before a show with a valid student ID if available.

Ticketing fees apply.  To purchase tickets or for more information, call the CSC Box Office at 513.381.BARD (2273) ext. 1, or go online at www.cincyshakes.com.
