This November, an epic struggle between good and evil comes to life on the stage of the Loveland Stage Company Theater in the sensational, JEKYLL AND HYDE The Musical. This musical is based on the Robert Louis Stevenson novella “Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” and the 1941 Metro Goldwyn Mayer motion picture Jekyll and Hyde.

The story was conceived for the stage as a musical by Steve Cuden and Frank Wildhorn, with book and lyrics by Leslie Bricusse, and music by Frank Wildhorn. Their thrilling musical spectacle was first presented in Houston, Texas in 1990, shattering box office records for the Alley Theatre and extending its run twice. The musical made its Broadway debut on April 28, 1997, at the Plymouth Theatre. It ran for 1,543 performances, nearly four years, which made it the longest-running show in the history of the Plymouth Theatre. The thrilling score of pop rock hits helped mesmerize the audiences. The song “This is the Moment” has been performed over 1,000 times by numerous popular artists. “This is the Moment” has also been featured at mainstream events like the 1994 and 1996 Olympics, the Super Bowl, the World Series, several Miss America pageants, and the inauguration of President George W. Bush.

John Matthew Riestenberg, who performed in Shadowbox Live while living in Columbus the last several years, plays the split personalities of Dr. Jekyll. The women in love with Dr. Jekyll are played by Katie McCarthy as Emma Carew and Bree Hunter Sprankle-Cox as Lucy Harris. Katie McCarty was last seen in Loveland Stage Company’s Young Frankenstein and she won an ACT Orchid Award for her acting in 42nd Street. Bree Hunter Sprankle-Cox is a classically-trained soprano and music educator and also new to the Loveland Stage Company stage. In JEKYLL AND HYDE The Musical, both women are unaware of their love’s dark secret. A devoted man of science, Henry Jekyll is driven to find a chemical breakthrough that can solve some of mankind’s most challenging medical dilemmas. Rebuffed by the powers that be, he decides to make himself the subject of his own experimental treatments, accidentally unleashing his inner demons, along with the man the world would come to fear as Mr. Hyde.

The supporting cast and ensemble consist of veteran actors of the Loveland Stage Company and some seasoned actors from neighboring community theatre groups. Visit the Loveland Stage Company’s web site to read the complete listing of supporting cast and ensemble.

The Loveland Stage Company’s JEKYLL AND HYDE The Musical is being directed by Richard Lee Waldeck, who was seen recently in his ACT Orchid Award winning role of Lazar Wolf in Fiddler on the Roof. Richard has directed for the Dayton Jewish Community Center, Dayton Playhouse, Kettering Theatre Under the Stars, and First Frontier Inc. JEKYLL AND HYDE The Musical is being co-produced by Becky Cole and Tom Cavano. Becky has been involved on and off stage in the Cincinnati region and in her hometown of Chicago since the age of four. This past spring, she won an OCTA award for her portrayal of Miriam Goldman in Milford Theatre Guilde’s Beau Jest.

Aronoff Center 20-Year Economic Impact: $365 Million

Cincinnati Arts Association commissions study in conjunction with 20th anniversary

CAA_Aronoff 20 logoCINCINNATI (Oct. 21, 2015) – A University of Cincinnati Economics Center study reveals the Aronoff Center for the Arts’ economic impact to be more than $365 million since it opened. The venue celebrates its 20th anniversary Wednesday, October 21.

The Cincinnati Arts Association (CAA), the not-for-profit organization that oversees the programming and management of the Aronoff and Music Hall, commissioned the economic impact study.

“As we celebrate this milestone, we are proud not only of the economic impact of the Aronoff Center, but also of its educational and cultural impact on our community,” said Steve Loftin, president and executive director of CAA. “This center has been a special place for artists, patrons, children and so many others. We look forward to creating wonderful memories for this community for years to come.”

“The Aronoff Center has had a substantial economic impact every year for 20 years,” said Jeff Rexhausen, senior research associate at the UC Economics Center. “It has also been a stimulus for downtown revitalization. Its partnership with community education and healthcare organizations has brought the arts into the lives of many people who otherwise may not have had the opportunity.”

Other key findings from the study:

  • The Aronoff has reached a collective audience total of 8.81 million people.
  • The Aronoff has hosted more than 13,000 events.
  • More than $6.53 million was spent at downtown restaurants and bars in conjunction with attending a performance during the 2013-2014 season.
    • One in six of these patrons comes from outside the Cincinnati Metropolitan Statistical Area, and patrons’ dining at restaurants, combined with other spending for parking, hotel stays and other retail purchases, produced a total of $6.71 million in visitor spending. The result of visitor spending had an economic impact of almost $13.9 million and approximately 170 jobs with total earnings of $4.15 million
  • The combined economic impact of the Aronoff and visitor spending amounts to over $34.3 million in fiscal year 2014.
  • The combination of spending by the Aronoff and non-local visitors directly produced $1.45 million in local tax revenues for the city and county in the 2014 fiscal year.

The Human Race Theatre Company Makes an Appointment for Laughter and Tears with STEEL MAGNOLIAS

(Dayton, OH) — One of the most beloved plays in modern theatre returns to The Human Race as Dayton’s premier professional theatre company revisits the popular tale of friendship among triumph and loss, STEEL MAGNOLIAS. Many things beside hair get done at Truvy’s hair salon, and that’s why it is the place to go in Chinquapin Parish, Louisiana. Gossip, revelations and witty Southern banter flow like refreshing sweet tea on a hot summer day. The opinionated Truvy and her new assistant, Annelle, play host to unlikely friends Ouiser and Clairee, the respectable and sociable M’Lynn and her beautiful daughter, Shelby. As the women come face to face with difficult times, they are brought together through strength and love. Robert Harling’s 1987 play is consistently one of the most widely produced shows in the country and has been twice adapted for the screen. The Human Race first produced STEEL MAGNOLIAS in 1989 at the Biltmore Hotel’s Muse Space, then again on the Victoria Theatre’s Broadway on Main series in 2001. This production on The Loft Theatre stage is being directed by Heather N. Powell. The preview performance of STEEL MAGNOLIAS is Thursday, November 5. Opening night is Friday, November 6. The production runs through November 29.

“We’re thrilled to be making another visit to Truvy’s,” says Human Race President & Artistic Director Kevin Moore. “STEEL MAGNOLIAS was a very popular show for us and has always been an audience favorite. We’ve been looking forward to the chance to bring it to The Loft stage for some time.”

While many of The Human Race’s patrons may know Heather N. Powell from her behind-the-scenes work as the company’s long-time prop master, most don’t know she is a trained director who has helmed a number of local productions and The Race’s in-school touring productions of Change and A Dickens of a Time. For this well-known story, Powell and scenic designer Eric Moore have a vision that is truly their own, and that is intentional. “It may surprise a lot of people neither I nor Eric have ever seen the 1989 movie or a staged version of the play,” she says. “When we realized this, we made a pact to not see the movie and to avoid exposure to it on the internet.” As for establishing the characters’ personalities and the world in which they live, “I am approaching the play by staying true to Harling’s words and the characters he gave me to play with,” states Powell. “His words are my only guide; so what you will see on stage is what Eric and I saw in our minds and through development working together with solely the script for reference.”

CAST AND DESIGN TEAM
For The Human Race’s 2015 production, director Powell has gathered a six-actress ensemble of faces both familiar and new to The Loft Stage. Christine Brunner (Play It by Heart, Permanent Collection, A Christmas Carol) is “Truvy,” owner of the beauty salon that is the play’s setting. Resident Artist Patricia Linhart (Torch Song Trilogy, Becky’s New Car, Every Good Boy Deserves Favour) is the town’s grande dame, “Clairee.” Caitlin Larsen (Lend Me a Tenor, Moonlight and Magnolias, Fiddler on the Roof) is the acerbic, but lovable, curmudgeon “Ouiser.” New to The Human Race are Julia Geisler (A Musical Christmas Carol and Boeing, Boeing at Pittsburgh CLO) as “Shelby,” the prettiest girl in town, Carolyn Popp (The Drilling Company’s Romeo and Juliet, and Bay Street Theatre’s To Kill a Mockingbird) as Shelby’s social prominent mother, “M’Lynn,” and Maretta Zilic (Richmond Shakespeare Festival’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream) as Truvy’s new assistant, “Annelle.”

“These women are perfect for their roles,” praises Powell as she recalls the show’s audition process. “We had so many talented actresses who auditioned, but there was just something special about each of these ladies. It became especially clear when they each read snippets of the show for their callbacks. I immediately saw them in full 80s hair and outfits bringing their character to life.”

Scenic designer Eric Moore (Miracle on South Division Street, and Footloose and The Music Man for Springfield’s Summer Arts Festival) has created the carport-turned-makeshift-beauty salon set. Costume designer Janet G. Powell (The Full Monty: The Broadway Musical, Family Shots, Avenue Q) has styled the cast in nostalgic 80s. This production marks Resident Lighting Designer John Rensel’s third time lighting STEEL MAGNOLIAS for The Human Race. Brian Retterer (Play It by Heart, Oliver!) returns to The Loft to oversee the sound design. Kay Carver serves as the production stage manager. The show’s producer is Human Race Associate Artistic Director Tara Lail.

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