ALL THINGS CONSIDERED, directed by Kiya Fix and produced by Dan Cohen, runs August 15-23, 2025
A STEADY RAIN, directed by Ed Cohen, runs October 31-November 8, 2025.

ALL THINGS CONSIDERED synopsis:
All Things Considered is a satirical historical face that critiques the fallacy of justifying missteps by pointing to worse incidents from the past. The play follows three frantic White House consultants as they attempt to defend a ficitonal president’s behavior by presenting a “history lesson” filled with presidential blunders — from Andrew Jackson’s foul mouthed parrot to Taft’s infamous bathtub mishap. Through absurd humor and sharp dialogue, the show exposes the flawed logic of excusing current problems simply because history has seen worse, ultimately challenging audiences to rethink the standards by which we judge our leaders.

A STEADY RAIN synopsis:
A dark duologue filled with sharp storytelling and biting repartee, A Steady Rain explores the complexities of a lifelong bond tainted by domestic affairs, violence, and the rough streets of Chicago. Joey and Denny have been best friends since kindergarten, and after working together for several years as policemen in Chicago, they are practically family: Joey helps out with Denny’s wife and kids; Denny keeps Joey away from the bottle. But when a domestic disturbance call takes a turn for the worse, their friendship is put on the line. The result is a harrowing journey into a moral gray area where trust and loyalty struggle for survival against a sobering backdrop of pimps, prostitutes, and criminal lowlifes.

ELEEMONYNARY Runs Feb. 7-15

ELEEMONYNARY
Beechmont Players, Inc.
Feb. 7-15
Gabriel’s Corner [Over-the-Rhine]

Directed by Kate Brauer-Bell
Produced by Noah Moore

Cast: Alejandra Decima as Echo, Alaska Stoughton as Artie & Elizabeth Hickerson as Dorothea

Eleemosynary probes into the delicate relationship of three singular women: the grandmother, Dorothea, who has sought to assert her independence through strong-willed eccentricity; her brilliant daughter, Artie (Artemis), who has fled the stifling domination of her mother; and Artie’s daughter, Echo, a child of exceptional intellect—and sensitivity—whom Artie has abandoned to an upbringing by Dorothea. As the play begins, Echo is caring for Dorothea, who has just had a stroke. During the course of the play, Echo tries to bring the three women together. Eleemosynary presents fragmented vignettes of the lives of the three women as they struggle to define themselves both as individuals and as part of a family unit. This poignant and mature study of familial relationships highlights the human need for connection and forgiveness.
