Cincinnati Playhouse’s THREE MUSKETEERS Earns Two LCT Nominations

Panelists for the League of Cincinnati Theatres (LCT) have recognized Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park’s “The Three Musketeers” with LCT nominations for fight choreography (Drew Fracher) and costumes (Bill Black) as well as distinguishing it as a recommended production.

In this adaptation of the classic Alexander Dumas swashbuckling tale, young Frenchman D’Artagnan and his plucky sister Sabine aspire to join the famed Musketeers, but get more than they bargained for when they stumble into the center of a bitter rivalry between King Louis and the evil Cardinal Richelieu.

Panelists praised Drew Facher’s fight choreography as “the highlight of the show — detailed, energetic, and integral to the action”; “the most and best swordplay I have ever seen”. Bill Black’s costumes were “sumptuous and intricate”, with “lush fabrics and correct details”. Overall, the panelists recommended the production as “a great adventure in theatre for the family”.

“The Three Musketeers” continues through September 29th. 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.

Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park Playwriting Class: Action, Dialogue & Subtext

Instructor: Y York
Instructor Bio: Award-winning playwright Y York is currently working on new plays for People’s Light and Theatre Company and Seattle Children’s Theatre. Her play Accidental Friends will tour this fall as part of the Playhouse’s Off the Hill program. She has written over forty plays which have been produced across the English-speaking world; twenty-five of them have been published. Y has taught playwriting classes and workshops since 1993 at the University of Washington, Freehold Theatre School (Seattle), Arizona State University, Ko`olau Writers Workshop (Kane`ohe, Hawai`i), Bamboo Ridge Tri4Write (Honolulu), Kumu Kahua Theatre (Honolulu), The Last Frontier Playwriting Conference (Alaska), Sarah Lawrence College, Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park, and online. For more info on the playwright, visit www.yyork.com.

Mondays, 6:30-9:00 PM
8 sessions, 2½ hours
September 10, 17, 24, October 1, 8, 15, 22, & 29
Fee: $285; $250 early bird discount for registration before August 27

The goals of this class are twofold: one, to write action-driven dialogue that reflects character; and two, to enable the writer to keep going when inspiration wanes. The class can be taken by a beginner, but will also be satisfying to the seasoned playwright. There will be in-class writing exercises and at-home writing assignments that students will read in class.

Preparation. We will not read previously-written work, but writers may use their existing characters and situations in the exercises. Bring paper and pens, not computers or recording devices. Be thinking about at least two characters who know one another and their context.
