The Carnegie Celebrates Motherhood with 2017-18 Season Finale MOTHERHOOD OUT LOUD

TC_Motherhood Out Loud logoPlaying Weekends April 14-29, 2018

(COVINGTON, KY) – Motherhood is a rewarding journey with ups, downs, humor, and touching moments along the way. The Carnegie is closing out the 2017-18 season with MOTHERHOOD OUT LOUD, an insightful and funny take on motherhood of all forms, running weekends April 14-29, 2018.

Written by an impressive roster of contemporary American playwrights including Pulitzer Prize winner Beth Henley (CRIMES OF THE HEART, MISS FIRECRACKER) and Cincinnati-area native Theresa Rebeck (BAD DATES, NBC’s television show, SMASH), the show tells the familiar stories of parenthood with plenty of laughter and tears. With stories from moms, stepmoms, mothers-in-law, and dads who act as moms, MOTHERHOOD OUT LOUD shatters the traditional notions about parenthood and celebrates the truths that unite generations.

“The first time I read the script I knew it would be something our audiences would enjoy. I literally laughed so hard I nearly fell out of my office chair,” said Maggie Perrino, Theatre Director at The Carnegie. “But now that we’ve found our cast, the poignant moments really pop too. It is a wonderful celebration of the stories we tell about our children and parents.”

Performances of MOTHERHOOD OUT LOUD run weekends April 14-29, 2018, Friday & Saturday evenings at 7:30pm, Sundays at 3:00pm. Tickets are $26, $23 for Carnegie Members and Enjoy the Arts Members, $19 for students. Tickets can be purchased through The Carnegie Box Office, open Tuesday-Friday 12pm-5pm, in person or by phone at (859) 957-1940, or online at www.thecarnegie.com. Patrons seeking group or student tickets should call to make arrangements.

MOTHERHOOD OUT LOUD is presented by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc., New York.

The Human Race Theatre Company’s ERMA BOMBECK: AT WIT’S END Truly Proves “Humorists Can Never Start to Take Themselves Seriously”

HRTC_Erma-Bombeck-Publicity-2

Jennifer Joplin stars as Daytonian favorite in The Human Race’s one-woman show, April 19 – May 13, 2018 at The Caryl D. Philips Creativity Center

 (Dayton, OH) — This spring, The Human Race Theatre Company (HRTC) honors one of the Gem City’s best loved icons when it presents Allison Engel and Margaret Engel’s Erma Bombeck: At Wit’s End in the 54-seat performance space at its Caryl D. Philips Creativity Center. Dayton’s own Erma Bombeck takes center stage in this touching one-woman comedy titled after her long-running newspaper column. Human Race Resident Artist Jennifer Joplin stars as the literary legend whose candid commentary on life as a woman, spouse and mother made her the champion of suburban housewives everywhere and her newspaper columns a mainstay on kitchen refrigerators for over thirty years. Full of personal anecdotes and sprinkled with plenty of Bombeck’s famous one-liners, it’s a charming biography that proves “if you can’t make it better, you can laugh at it.” The Human Race’s Heather N. Powell (Steel Magnolias, Change and A Dickens of Time) directs. The preview performances of Erma Bombeck: At Wit’s End are Thursday, April 19 through Sunday, April 22 and Thursday, April 26. Opening night is Friday, April 27. The play runs approximately 60 minutes with no intermission.

Erma Bombeck: At Wit’s End was written by twin sisters Allison and Margaret Engel, who found success with their previous one-woman play, Red Hot Patriot, about another brassy newspaper columnist and best-selling author, Molly Ivins. Since its 2015 premiere as part of the Women’s Theatre Festival in Washington, DC, Erma Bombeck: At Wit’s End has become one of the hottest productions in the nation, having already been produced by dozens of theatre companies.

“I’m thrilled this funny and poignant play is coming to Dayton, Erma’s hometown,” said Teri Rizvi, founder and director of the Erma Bombeck Writers’ Workshop at the University of Dayton. “Her wit and wisdom have stood the test of time — and remind us that the foibles of family life will always make us laugh.”

Actress Jennifer Joplin is honored to share not just the humor but the courage and heart of this Dayton hero. “I grew up with clippings of Erma’s column on the refrigerator. She was funny, goofy – but she also made what seemed crazy in our house, normal,” says Joplin. “Working on this show, I’ve come to realize how really revolutionary she was. What she did in her writing and her activism, was remarkable and still inspiring. She’s a true hero of mine!”

Local audiences may remember Ms. Joplin from the World Premier of 26 Pebbles, as Chelsea in On Golden Pond, Amanda Wingfield in The Glass Menagerie, Brooke in Other Desert Cities, Annette in God of Carnage, also Proof, Angels in America, Band Geeks!, Doubt, Crimes of the Heart or any of the other productions she’s been fortunate enough to be a part of at The Human Race Theatre for over 25 years! Some of her other favorite roles include Aimee in The Humans, Rosemary in Outside Mullingar and Gwen in Rapture, Blister, Burn at Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati as well as Lady Macbeth and Cleopatra at Cincinnati Shakespeare Company. A long-standing Human Race Resident Artist and proud graduate of Wright State University’s professional actor training program, she’s worked nationally as an actor, corporate trainer, voiceover artist and teacher, recently adding two film credits to her resume – Old Man and the Gun and Donnybrook. Founder and lead coaching artist for Spotlight Training, and president of the League of Cincinnati Theatres, she is the wearer of many hats and coined the phrase “responsi-juggling.”

Biographies on the cast and creative team can be found on The Human Race Theatre Company’s website.

The Human Race Theatre Company’s production of Erma Bombeck: At Wit’s End is sponsored by India and John Clarke and The Theda and Tamblin Clark-Smith Family Foundation, Martha Moody Jacobs, and Doug and Sharon Scholz.
