In that time we watch them go through their wedding night jitters, raise a family, negotiate mid-life crises, quarrel, separate, reconcile and grow old together, all lovingly to the strains of a tuneful, charming score which includes the standard “My Cup Runneth Over.”

Showboat’s THE MUSIC MAN Earns LCT Recommendation

Panelists for the League of Cincinnati Theatres (LCT) have recognized Showboat Majestic’s THE MUSIC MAN as a recommended production.

This classic American musical follows fast-talking traveling salesman Harold Hill as he cons the people of River City, Iowa into buying instruments and uniforms for a boys’ band he vows to organize – this despite the fact he doesn’t know a trombone from a treble clef.

Panelists praised the production as “delightful,” “high-energy” and “enthusiastic,” with innovative choreography and staging using the Showboat stage to its full potential.

THE MUSIC MAN continues through September 30th. Tickets can be purchased at http://www.cincinnatilandmarkproductions.com/sbm.

Final LCT awards will be determined at the end of the season and announced at the LCT gala in the spring.

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.

Covedale’s CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF Earns LCT Recommendation

Panelists for the League of Cincinnati Theatres (LCT) have recognized Covedale Center for the Performing Arts’ CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF as a recommended production.

In this Tennessee William’s classic, a plantation house family celebrates the sixty-fifth birthday of its patriarch, Big Daddy. But the mood is tense, despite the festivities, as long-simmering evils poison the party. Greed, sins of the past and desperate clawing hopes for the future spar with one another as the knowledge that Big Daddy is dying slowly makes the rounds.

One panelist praised the production as “dynamic and layered.” Another commented that “I could feel that I was witnessing the family dynamics of a real family.”

CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF continues through September 30th. Tickets can be purchased at www.cincinnatilandmarkproductions.com/ccpa.

Final LCT awards will be determined at the end of the season and announced at the LCT gala in the spring.

Showboat Majestic’s ROUNDING THIRD Earns LCT Recommendation

Mike Sherman as Don & Michael Schlotterbeck as Michael.

Panelists for the League of Cincinnati Theatres (LCT) have recognized Showboat Majestic’s ROUNDING THIRD as a recommended production.

ROUNDING THIRD introduces us to two little-league coaches — one a veteran, the other a new recruit — and their markedly different personal circumstances and philosophies about the game. Their clash of styles and wills drives this funny, acerbic and touching play through the bumpy terrain of fatherhood and baseball.

One panelist noted that the “comedic timing was spot on”. Another commented, “Both actors engaged the audience—we were the unseen baseball team—eliciting responses, laughs, and groans.”

ROUNDING THIRD continues through August 26th. Tickets can be purchased at www.cincinnatilandmarkproductions/sbm.

Final LCT awards will be determined at the end of the season and announced at the LCT gala in the spring.
