ROOTED by Deborah Zoe Laufer is the third world premiere of 2021-22 season

CINCINNATI (Jan.24, 2022) — A warm-hearted world-premiere comedy about people, plants and the idiosyncrasies of both opens in the Rosenthal Shelterhouse Theatre this February. ROOTED, commissioned by the Playhouse and presented with support from the Rosenthal Family, begins in previews Feb. 12 and runs through March 20. (Official opening night is Feb. 17.)

ROOTED is a follow-up to playwright Deborah Zoe Laufer’s acclaimed Be Here Now production. It tells the story of the reclusive and eccentric Emery Harris — a botanist who has lived in a treehouse for more than a decade and records her amateur research on YouTube. Unaware that she’s gained a large and devoted following due to her reclusive lifestyle, she learns that her YouTube subscribers elected her as their new-age messiah.

“Deborah Laufer returns to the Rosenthal Shelterhouse Theatre with a quick-witted comedy showcasing her signature balance of comedic dialogue and lovable characters,” said Blake Robison, producing artistic director. “Audiences will relate to the entertaining story about living your truth, finding your people and being yourself.”

The production features a highly innovative stage design by Se Hyun Oh that brings audiences into Emery’s world of plants and botanical experiments. Her treehouse is full of plant life and greenery, built around a giant oak tree that stretches so high characters can only enter if they climb a ladder and enter through a hatch.

The story embodies feelings around isolation that are particularly resonant today,” Laufer explained. “Emery has literally put herself up a tree to escape other humans. She’s surrounded herself with plants to feel safe. The play is very alive with the longing for connection, the fear of connection and what it takes to truly make that connection.”

Regional Premiere of INCIDENT AT OUR LADY OF PERPETUAL HELP Offers A Charmingly Nostalgic Look at 1970s Family Life

PIP_S2_Incident_Newsroom

CINCINNATI (Jan. 4, 2022) – Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park continues its season with the regional premiere of INCIDENT AT OUR LADY OF PERPETUAL HELP by Seattle playwright Katie Forgette beginning on Jan. 29. The charming comedy recounts an unforgettable day in 1973 for the O’Sheas, a cash-strapped, Irish-Catholic family. Feb. 3 is opening night for the production, which runs through Feb. 27.

Told through the memory of 20-year-old Linda O’Shea, the play begins when the parish priest overhears Linda’s bawdy-but-accurate explanation of “the birds and the bees” to her younger sister, Becky. What follows is a fast-paced chain of events that’s both unexpected and hilarious.

The production was originally scheduled prior to the pandemic, but Producing Artistic Director Blake Robison, who helms the production, thinks the current timing is perfect. “People need to laugh – now more than ever,” he says. “And you can only laugh in the theatre with a large group of people. From what I’ve seen, our audiences are ready to come together, poke a little fun at themselves and share some hijinks.”

Like the Playhouse’s productions of Brighton Beach Memoirs and Over the Tavern, INCIDENT AT OUR LADY OF PERPETUAL HELP is an entertaining family comedy that will keep audiences laughing from start to finish, whether they grew up Catholic or not. At the same time, Catholics – and anyone who grew up in the 1970s – will probably see aspects of themselves in the play.

Forgette, who was raised Catholic and attended parochial school, based the women at the center of the play – particularly matriarch Jo and her sister Terry – on the dedication and unflagged volunteerism of the mothers in their parish.

“In my day, the moms did the heavy lifting: tutoring, bake sales, Catholic Childhood Association, festivals, bazaars, fundraisers, caring for the sick, emergency daycare. The organization, set-up and clean-up for every celebration under the sun from baptism to death was handled by the ladies of the parish. And if a surprise pregnancy or scandal popped up, they handled that, too. Sometimes while balancing a baby on one hip and a bag of groceries on the other.”

INCIDENT AT OUR LADY OF PERPETUAL HELP had its world premiere in 2019 at New York’s Chenango River Theatre and will appear on several stages this year after its regional premiere at the Playhouse.

“The O’Sheas are sort of Every Family in America,” Robison says. “They may be Catholic and they may be Irish, but they’re just like your family too.”

CAST
Barbara Chisholm (Theresa “Terri” Carmichael), Erin Noel Grennan (Josephine “Jo” O’Shea), Elli Maddock (Becky O’Shea),  John Plumpis (Mike O’Shea/Father Lovett/Betty Heckenbach), Elise Rucker (Linda O’Shea)

INCIDENT AT OUR LADY OF PERPETUAL HELP Runs Jan. 29-Feb. 27

INCIDENT AT OUR LADY OF PERPETUAL HELP
Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park
Jan. 29-Feb. 27
Marx Theatre [Eden Park]

Directed by Blake Robison

Cast: Barbara Chisholm as Theresa “Terri” Carmichael, Erin Noel Grennan as Josephine “Jo” O’Shea, Elli Maddock as Becky O’Shea, John Plumpis as Mike O’Shea/Father Lovett/Betty Heckenbach & Elise Rucker as Linda O’Shea

Home is where the heart is, but it’s also where chaotic hilarity ensues. The O’Sheas are just like any other family in town: middle-class, Irish, Catholic and determined not to offend the priest or the parish. It’s 1973, and public ridicule in their community is the ultimate nightmare, according to 19-year-old Linda O’Shea. With dry yet affectionate humor, she narrates the most turbulent day of her life when a series of mishaps jeopardizes the family’s reputation. It takes every O’Shea in the house — from Linda’s quirky younger sister to her short-tempered grandmother — to keep the family’s name (and their souls) in good standing. Whether you’ve grown up Catholic or you simply can relate to the craziness of family, this new comedy will leave you in stitches. Recommended for ages 13 and up. Characters discuss taboo Catholic topics like contraception, sex and sexuality, and pregnancy. They also use adult language and the Lord’s name in vain quite a few times.

The Spirits of the Season Return to Cincinnati Playhouse

A CHRISTMAS CAROL Comes to Live Nov. 24-Dec. 30

CINCINNATI (Nov. 23, 2021) — Charles’ Dickens’ A CHRISTMAS CAROL, Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park’s joyous, time-honored celebration of the true meaning of the holidays returns to the stage for its 30th anniversary, presented by First Financial Bank. Audiences can see the beloved classic in the Robert S. Marx Theatre for the final time from Nov. 24 to Dec. 30. Opening night is Nov. 26.

More than 659,000 people have enjoyed the story of Ebenezer Scrooge at the Playhouse over the past 29 years, comprising more than 1,100 performances (including 168 student matinees). Hundreds of costumes and vivid special effects bring Dickens’ narrative to life as audiences join his time-traversing pilgrimage with the spirits one magical Christmas Eve. The construction of a new, state-of-the-art mainstage theatre complex, now underway, will enable even more theatrical magic and technical capabilities— and with it, a new adaptation in 2023.

“Thousands of families return each year to the Playhouse to make A CHRISTMAS CAROL a part of their holiday traditions,” explains Blake Robison, producing artistic director. “The enduring message of A CHRISTMAS CAROL helps to make it one of the Playhouse’s most popular productions each season and a perfect way to introduce children to the joys of live theatre.”

Bruce Cromer returns to fill Ebenezer Scrooge’s miserly shoes this season for the 17th time, the longest run among the four actors who have played the role, and his son, Charlie, returns for a third season to portray Scrooge as a young adult. For 2020, Cromer brought his role to life through a special one-time production of A Christmas Carol for Radio.

All show times for A CHRISTMAS CAROL are at 2 p.m. for matinees and 7 p.m. for evening performances to accommodate families with children. Please note the earlier curtain time. There will be no performances on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and selected weeknights in early December.
