(CINCINNATI, FEB. 1, 2012)– The League of Cincinnati Theatres (LCT) has awarded Covedale Center for the Performing Arts’ production of THE CAINE MUTINY COURT-MARTIALl with two performance awards. Jeff Groh was singled out for his role as Lt. Barry Greenwald, while the entire ensemble also was recognized for their contributions to the show.

Based on his own Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, Herman Wouk’s CAINE MUTINY COURT-MARTIAL tells the story of a young World War II Naval lieutenant accused of mutiny. In the midst of a typhoon, he relieved his ship’s captain of command under the belief that the man’s erratic and paranoid behavior placed the crew in grave danger.

As the trial’s reluctant defense attorney, Groh earned his award as leading actor in a play. LCT panelists described his performance as outstanding. “His performance … rose to the top of the ensemble in its professionalism,” said one panelist.

The rest of the show’s ensemble similarly was recognized, described as being “particularly strong, as each person taking the stand brought something memorable.” The cast includes Brandon Wentz, Mackenzie Durham Smith, Justin Baldwin, Bob Allen, Brett Bowling, Patrick Phillips, Mike Sherman, Joe Jones, Mike Dennis, Jim Stump, Dave Woellert, Mike Nalley, Rob Bucher, Henry Farfsing, Tom Durkin and Jeff Tuttle.

The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial continues through Feb. 19. Ticket information is available at http://www.cincinnatilandmarkproductions.com.

The League of Cincinnati Theatres was founded in 1999 to strengthen, nurture and promote Cincinnati’s theatre community. LCT provides its member companies and individual members with education, resources and services to enhance the quality and exposure of the theatre community in Cincinnati and increase community awareness, attendance and involvement.

JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT
April 19 – May 13, 2012
Lyrics by Tim Rice and Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber

The Biblical saga of Joseph and his coat of many colors comes to vibrant life in this delightful musical parable. Joseph, his father’s favorite son, is a boy blessed with prophetic dreams. When he is sold into slavery by his jealous brothers and taken to Egypt, Joseph endures a series of adventures in which his spirit and humanity are continually challenged. Set to an engaging cornucopia of musical styles, from country-western and calypso to bubble-gum pop and rock ‘n’ roll, this Old Testament tale emerges both timely and timeless.

Cincinnati Landmark Productions Welcomes Rodger Pille to Staff

Rodger Pille.

Cincinnati Landmark Productions announced today the appointment of Rodger Pille to its management team. Pille will serve as Communications/Development Manager for one of the region’s fastest growing arts organizations.

Cincinnati Landmark Productions is the production and management company for the Showboat Majestic and the Cincinnati Young People’s Theatre teen summer program, as well as the owner and operator of the Covedale Center for the Performing Arts. CLP also produces events, concerts, children’s programs and an art fair at its two landmark theatres.

For CLP, Pille will coordinate a broad spectrum of communication and fundraising initiatives for the company, including sponsorships, cooperative marketing, branding, advertising, donor cultivation, foundation proposals, event production, public relations and social media.

Pille is no stranger to attraction-based communications in the region. Before coming to CLP, he worked in the marketing communications departments of Newport Aquarium (2008-11) and Cincinnati Museum Center at Union Terminal (1997-2008), overseeing traditional public relations and social media initiatives.

He’s also well acquainted with the theater. Pille began his relationship with CLP in 1990 as a teen participant in Cincinnati Young People’s Theatre (CYPT). In college and for many years after, he performed on the Showboat Majestic stage. He also performed in the first-ever production season at the Covedale Center for the Performing Arts and in many of the seasons to follow.

“I’ve been a part of this organization in some way for over 20 years,” Pille said. “I truly credit those first years in CYPT with helping me realize who I am – not only as a performer, but as a person. For my career to lead me here and to have even a small hand in its well-deserved success moving forward will be something of a dream come true.”

Pille is a 1995 graduate of the E. W. Scripps School of Journalism at Ohio University. He and his wife Krista reside in Western Hills.
