Panelists for the League of Cincinnati Theatres (LCT) have recognized Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park’s ABIGAIL/1702 with 2 LCT nominations, scenic design (Wilson Chin) and lighting design (Matthew Richards).

What really happened to The Crucible’s Abigail Williams after she stole through Salem’s forest one dark night in search of a new life and new beginning? In this exciting world premiere, 10 years have passed since the infamous witch trials, but Abigail still struggles to atone for her sins, the ones history remembers — and darker ones that live in her heart. As she cares for a young sailor on the brink of death, a mysterious stranger from Abigail’s past catches up with her, sending her on one final, suspense-filled quest for redemption.

Panelists described Wilson Chin’s set as “captivating… the set was incredibly effective in emoting both a wooden serenity and quickly transforming i

nto a dark, shadowy place of fear.” Matthew Richards’ lighting design was “haunting” and “evoked a unique and mysterious world on the stage.”

ABIGAIL/1702 continues through Feburary 17th. Tickets can be purchased at www.cincyplay.com.

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. More information about the League can be found at www.leagueofcincytheatres.com.

Presented by Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park
Feb. 9-March 10
Eden Park

Reviews: CityBeat | Cincinnati Examiner | Enquirer |

Local media coverage: CityBeat article | WVXU interview | Enquirer article |

Directed by Wendy C. Goldberg

Cast: Ali Rose Dachis as Jeannie, Bobby Moreno as Chuck, Sean Mellott as Ian & Ben Morrow as Zander

Four 20-somethings struggle to transition from college to a “real” life that is rarely spent outside the glare of the video game monitors in their Las Vegas basement. What they find is a world of grown-up relationships that require levels of intimacy far beyond the social shield of technology. When one member of the circle is recruited by the NSA to pilot remote missiles, he’s ill-equipped to handle the moral ambiguities raised in this thought-provoking and often humorous world premiere about a generation straddling the fuzzy line between reality and virtual reality.
