One of the most explosive movie musicals in recent memory, FOOTLOOSE! bursts onto the live stage with exhilarating results. The heartfelt story that emerges is of a father longing for the son he lost and of a young man aching for the father who walked out on him. To the rockin’ rhythm of its Oscar and Tony-nominated top 40 score (the soundtrack album reached number one on the Billboard charts and has sold over 15 million copies!) and augmented with dynamic new songs for the stage musical, FOOTLOOSE celebrates the wisdom of listening to young people, guiding them with a warm heart and an open mind.

Cincinnati Young People’s Theatre (CYPT) provides a summer of great experience for performers and techies alike. Many of our members are now professional actors, singers, dancers, technicians and musicians. Others are Drama, Opera, Music Theatre, Voice, Music and Broadcasting majors at colleges all over the country. To date, over 2,200 teens have been a part of CYPT!

CYPT has produced 32 years of exciting shows, including: West Side Story, Jesus Christ Superstar, Footloose, 42nd Street, Children of Eden, Hello Dolly, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Anything Goes, The Pajama Game, Godspell, Les Miserables, Crazy For You, The Wedding Singer, Grease and many more!

AN EVENING WITH PETE ROSE Benefit on March 30

AN EVENING WITH PETE ROSE to Benefit the Incline Theater Project in East Price Hill
Sunday, March 30 at the Covedale Center for the Performing Arts

Pete Rose.

Pete Rose.

Get ready for Opening Day in style with a special evening with Western Hills’s favorite son, Pete Rose.

On the eve of Cincinnati’s historic Opening Day, hear classic stories from the Hit King’s career, tales of growing up on the west side – including his connection with the Covedale Center building – and more at “An Evening with Pete Rose – A Benefit Fundraiser for the Incline Theater Project.”

“I am thrilled to death to be back on the West Side at the Covedale Theater where I have memories of going to the cinema as a kid,” Rose said. “Close to West High and Price Hill Chili, the Covedale was the place to be on many nights.”

So it will be on March 30 at 8 p.m. when Rose takes the stage at the Covedale. Attendees will hear Rose speak about his favorite baseball memories, some stories from his days at West Hi and even his thoughts on the 2014 baseball season, just hours before the first pitch of the season. Rose will also take questions from the audience.

“An Evening with Pete Rose” is presented by Driehaus Insurance Group, and Doug and Cathie Ridenour.

Every attendee will receive an autographed copy of the acclaimed 2010 documentary, 4192: The Crowning of the Hit King. Three ticket levels are available:

  • “VIP” tickets – $125 each, includes a seat in the reserved premium section in the first four rows, two drink tickets and admittance to a special pre-event meet-and-greet reception with Pete.
  • “Charlie Hustle” tickets – $80 each, includes two drink tickets and a standard seat in the theater, as well as the autographed DVD.
  • “Value” tickets – $65 each, includes a seat in the back section of the theater, as well as the autographed DVD. 

All proceeds from the evening will go toward Cincinnati Landmark Productions’ Incline Theater Project. The proposed 220-seat theater and parking garage in the Incline District in East Price Hill is a $5.6 million project with plans of breaking ground later this spring – pending final fundraising.

Once open, the Incline Theater would be programmed year-round by Cincinnati Landmark Productions to create an estimated 112 “show nights” in the new space, including a subscription season designed to complement the season at the Covedale Center, a short “summer fare” season and one-night concerts, comedy events and cabarets.

“The Incline District is a neighborhood on the rise,” said CLP Executive Artistic Director Tim Perrino. “It’s exactly the place a growing arts organization wants to be.”

CLP has seen first-hand the impact the Covedale Center has made in West Price Hill. Since opening in 2002, the arts center quadrupled its subscribers from 804 the first year to over 3,700 for the current season. Attendance ballooned from 13,990 in the 2002-03 season to over 36,000 (representing 336 zip codes) in the 2012-13 season.

Donor programs, naming rights and sponsorships for the new venue are available. For more information about the Incline Theater Project, visit www.inclinetheater.com or call (513) 241-6550.

Inspired by the words of Will and Betty Rogers

Will Rogers was a unique American who, though he died almost sixty years ago, remains a beloved figure remembered for his humor, his wisdom, and his just plain common sense. At the heart of his populist philosophy was his most famous statement: “I never met a man I didn’t like.” Rogers became the biggest, most popular, and highest paid star of every existing medium of his time–stage, screen, radio, newspapers, and public appearances. In fact, it is no exaggeration to say that he was the greatest star this country has ever produced.
