Rivertown Players Inc Presents TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE at the Glenmore Playhouse

RP_logoThrough special arrangements with Dramatists Play Service, Rivertown Players, Inc. of Lawrenceburg, Indiana will be presenting TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE at the Glenmore Playhouse, 3716 Glenmore Avenue, Cheviot Ohio.

The play will run January 8, 9 and 10th 2015 with curtain at 7:30 PM. A matinee will be held on Jan 11, 2015 at 2:00 PM. You may purchase tickets on line at http://www.showtix4u.com or by calling the ticket hotline 812-532-3078. Ticket prices are $15.00.

The play is a poignant, life-affirming drama that tells the autobiographical story of Mitch Alborn (Ray Persing) an accomplished journalist driven solely by his career and Morrie Schwartz (portrayed by Kent Smith) his former college professor. Sixteen years after graduation, Mitch happens to catch Morrie’s appearance on a television news program and learns that his old professor is battling Lou Gehrig’s disease. They are reunited and what starts as a simple visit turns into a weekly pilgrimage and a last class in the meaning of life. The production is directed by Amanda Borchers, and produced by Victoria Garcia.

Rivertown Players, Inc. has been an established community theatre in Southern Indiana for over twenty five years and is very excited about this first-ever collaboration between Rivertown Players and The Glenmore Playhouse. To learn more visit www.rivertownplayers.com.

Mariemont Players presents Tennessee Williams’ THE GLASS MENAGERIE at the Walton Creek Theater, 4101 Walton Creek Road (just East of Mariemont), January 9th through January 25th, 2015.

In Tennessee Williams’ shattering classic, an aging Southern Belle longs for her youth and dreams of a better life for her children. Her restless son Tom — a would-be poet and the story’s narrator — gets swept up in his mother’s funny and heartbreaking schemes to find his painfully shy sister, Laura, a husband. THE GLASS MENAGERIE is considered to be one of the most beautiful dramas in American theatre.

THE GLASS MENAGERIE is directed by Laura Boggs, produced by Tom Storey, and features Barbara Karol as Amanda, Collin Wenzell as Tom, Morgan Carter as Laura, and David Trump as Jim.

Performances will be at 8:00pm on January 9th, January 10th, January 16th, January 17th and January 23rd; at 2:00pm on January 11th and January 25th; at 7:30pm on January 15th and January 22nd; at 2:00pm and 7:00pm on January 18th; and at 3:00pm & 8:00pm on January 24th.

Patrons are encouraged to bring new or gently-used costume rhinestone jewelry when they come to see CINDERELLA at the Aronoff Center for the Arts, January 6-18, and those donations go directly to the local non-profit organization Kenzie’s Closet.

Over 350 low-income high school students are invited to shop for prom dresses and accessories each year at Kenzie’s Closet, at no cost to these junior and senior high school students. Attendees can be part of creating the magic and the prom memories for these young ladies as Kenzie’s Closet is in need of costume rhinestone earrings, necklaces, bracelets and tiaras.

Donations are also accepted in advance of the show at the Aronoff Center Box Office.
