(CINCINNATI) — The Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park’s joyous, time-honored celebration of the true meaning of the holidays, a tradition enjoyed by multiple generations of Cincinnatians each year, returns for its 26th season as U.S. Bank presents Charles Dickens’ A CHRISTMAS CAROL. The beloved, iconic story will be performed Nov. 23 through Dec. 31 in the Playhouse’s Robert S. Marx Theatre.

A CHRISTMAS CAROL, an immediate hit when Dickens wrote it in 1843, is often credited for revitalizing the celebration of Christmas as we know it today. The renowned tale is so imbedded in popular culture that “Scrooge” is universally recognized as a synonym for a mean, tight-fisted person. A CHRISTMAS CAROL has also inspired countless television, film and stage adaptations — from classic interpretations to contemporary and even cartoon versions — that share the heartwarming truth of Dickens’ most popular work among a prolific output of classics.

The Playhouse’s version of A CHRISTMAS CAROL, adapted by Howard Dallin, brings Dickens’ narrative to vivid life with spectacular effects that illuminate Ebenezer Scrooge’s time-traversing pilgrimage with the spirits one magical Christmas Eve. From his kind-hearted sister Fan and first love Belle to his generous employer Fezziwig and humble clerk Bob Cratchit, Scrooge is repeatedly shown the saving grace of love and concern for humanity. The timeless 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 theatre.

The cast of the 26th annual production of A CHRISTMAS CAROL features a mix of new and familiar actors. Bruce Cromer returns to fill Ebenezer Scrooge’s miserly shoes for the 12th time this season, the longest run among the four actors who have played the role in the Playhouse’s production. (Cromer previously portrayed long-suffering clerk Bob Cratchit for eight years.) Also returning are Craig Wesley Divino as Fred, Annie Fitzpatrick as Mrs. Fezziwig/Patience, Ryan Wesley Gilreath as Bob Cratchit/Schoolmaster Oxlip, Kelly Mengelkoch as Mrs. Cratchit/Laundress at Fezziwig’s, Gregory Procaccino as Jacob Marley/Old Joe, Douglas Rees as Mr. Fezziwig/Ghost of Christmas Present, Nick Rose as Mr. Cupp/Percy/Rich Man at Fezziwig’s, Stephen Skiles as Mr. Sosser/Topper/Man with Shoe Shine/Guest at Fezziwig’s and Kathleen Wise as Ghost of Christmas Past/Mrs. Peake. New to A CHRISTMAS CAROL this season and making their Playhouse debuts are Sara Masterson as Belle/Catherine Margaret and John Skelley as Young and Mature Scrooge/Ghost of Christmas Future.

Members of the Playhouse’s Bruce E. Coyle Acting Intern Company — Richard Buchanan, George Bull, Ernaisja Curry, Candice Handy, Tatum Hunter, Taha Mandviwala and Koray Tarhan — will play carolers, party guests and others.

Nine Tristate children also appear in A CHRISTMAS CAROL. This season, one new junior cast member will join eight veterans of the production. Returning are Ella Faith Gallagan as Belinda Cratchit/Guest at Fezziwig’s, Ari Elizabeth Johnson as Want/Guest at Fezziwig’s, Aidan McCracken as Peter Cratchit/Gregory/Apprentice at Fezziwig’s, Ty Joseph Shelton as Ignorance/Matthew/Rich Son at Fezziwig’s, Livvy Stubenrauch as Fan/Guest at Fezziwig’s, Ashley Taylor as Martha Cratchit/Guest at Fezziwig’s, Austin Vaughan as Boy Scrooge/Guest at Fezziwig’s/Bootblack and Henry Charles Weghorst as Tiny Tim. New to A CHRISTMAS CAROL this year is Sabian George Swan as George/Charles/Apprentice at Fezziwig’s.

“It is a recurring joy to bring Charles Dickens’ A CHRISTMAS CAROL to life every holiday season,” says Michael Evan Haney, who is directing the production for the 24th time. (Haney has been associated with A CHRISTMAS CAROL since its debut in 1991, playing Bob Cratchit for the first two seasons.) “Cincinnati has enthusiastically embraced this production and many have made it a family tradition. Seeing the faces of the children entering the theatre and getting their first glimpse of the set, hearing their squeals at Marley’s entrance and their laughter as Scrooge enjoys his redemptive metamorphosis — these moments sweeten my holiday season like nothing else.”

In addition to Haney, the creative team for A CHRISTMAS CAROL includes James Leonard Joy (set designer), David Murin (costume designer), Kirk Bookman (lighting designer), David B. Smith (sound designer/composer), Steve O’Shea (lighting contractor), Cindy Witherspoon (costume coordinator), Rebecca N. Childs (music director) and Dee Anne Bryll (choreographer). The stage manager is Andrea L. Shell and second stage manager/assistant stage manager is Brooke Redler.

A CHRISTMAS CAROL is presented by U.S. Bank. The design sponsor and artist sponsor/Ghosts is Ohio National Financial Services. Artist sponsor/Ebenezer Scrooge is AAA and Provident Travel, artist sponsor/Tiny Tim is Skidmore Sales and Distributing and artist sponsor/Bob Cratchit is Bahl & Gaynor Inc.

ROBIN HOOD Rights the Wrongs to Launch Free Family Fun Series at Arts Center at Dunham

pip_robin-hood-promo2CINCINNATI, OH – October 12, 2016 — The Free Family Fun Series is back for another season at the Arts Center at Dunham with Robin Hood by Greg Banks and performed by the Playhouse in the Park’s Off the Hill Productions on Saturday, October 29 at 2 p.m.

Courtesy of a grant from Price Hill Will Arts CAT, Off the Hill Productions’ Robin Hood centers on good and evil in this tale of a legendary outlaw who robs from the rich to give to the poor. Robin Hood and his merry band of underground heroes rally to support those who cannot fight for themselves. But when they run afoul of the greedy Prince John, the deceptive Sheriff of Nottingham devises an elaborate plot to discover Robin Hood’s hideout and capture him once and for all. Full of swordfights and wordplay, this decidedly modern take on the classic story is a high-powered action-packed adventure. Robin Hood is recommended for ages 8 and up.

The Second City’s HOLIDAZED & CONFUSED REVUE Unwraps a Hilarious Antidote to Holiday Stress at Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park, Nov. 5-Dec. 31, 2016

pip_dazed-and-confused-promo1(CINCINNATI) – With the holidays just around the corner, the Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park has the perfect antidote to seasonal stress: THE SECOND CITY’S HOLIDAZED & CONFUSED REVUE, which offers riotous send-ups of holiday traditions from Nov. 5 through Dec. 31.

Chicago’s most famous entertainment export returns after a four-year absence, having twice brought its world-famous sketch and improvisational comedy to the Playhouse with smash-hit productions in 2010 and 2012, The Second City Does Cincinnati: Pride and Porkopolis and The Second City 2: Less Pride … More Pork.

A sold-out tradition in the Windy City, THE SECOND CITY’S HOLIDAZED & CONFUSED REVUE rolls in with a blast of holidazed laughter to blow away the emotionally-charged chaos of Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa and everything in between.

“The holidays are ripe for mocking because of the high anxiety of the season that is just compounded by the close proximity to family, the insanely high expectations and wondering which uncle is going to have just enough eggnog to share those unpopular political beliefs,” notes Nate DuFort, producing director of The Second City’s touring companies. “Making light of these things can be a release for performers and audiences alike, and we try not to leave any holiday or tradition off the table.”

The Second City opened its Chicago doors on a snowy December night in 1959 and has been brandishing a distinctly brash brand of comedy upon the world ever since. The world’s premier comedy club, theatre and school of improvisation has helped shape several generations of comedy stars, from John Belushi, Gilda Radner and Martin Short to Steve Carell, Tina Fey and Stephen Colbert.

Part of the fun of seeing a Second City production is the possibility that among the young, exuberant cast members is lurking the next breakout comedy star — and, with the improvisational nature of the show, audiences may well play a part in honing that talent.

Andel Sudik, who is directing THE SECOND CITY’S HOLIDAZED & CONFUSED REVUE, was a cast member in the Playhouse’s production of The Second City Does Cincinnati: Pride and Porkopolis.

“I love performing,” says Sudik. “I love the audience applause and laughter and feeling like I’m allowing people to leave behind their lives for a bit and share an experience. As a director I get to do those same things and, ideally, also give my actors a chance to unlock parts of themselves in the process. I love the challenge and I think my experience as an actor helps me understand what a vulnerable process it is to create comedy and survive in our business.

“I love directing sketch comedy and improvisation,” Sudik continues, “because it’s like a puzzle in which the pieces keep morphing as you put them down, and eventually you’ve helped foster creativity and created something entirely different from what you set out to do.”

The cast of THE SECOND CITY’S HOLIDAZED & CONFUSED REVUE includes Tyler Davis, Katie Kershaw, Charles Pettitt, Emma Pope, Amy Thompson and Nate Varrone.

In addition to Sudik, the creative team of THE SECOND CITY’S HOLIDAZED & CONFUSED REVUE features Brian Heveron-Smith (music director) and Mark C. Williams (lighting designer). Fernando Alvarez and Jenifer Morrow are the stage managers.

THE SECOND CITY’S HOLIDAZED & CONFUSED REVUE is sponsored by The Carol Ann and Ralph V. Haile, Jr./U.S. Bank Foundation.

The Playhouse will offer the chance to learn improvisation basics from members of The Second City in a two-hour Improv for Beginners workshop at 10 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 19. The class will focus on teaching the building blocks of improvisation to adults with little to no experience as they learn and play with the troupe’s touring company members. The cost of the workshop is $50 per person. Space is limited, so reserve your spot now through the Playhouse Box Office at 513-421-3888.

Tickets for THE SECOND CITY’S HOLIDAZED & CONFUSED REVUE start at $35 for previews and $40 for regular performances. Prices are subject to change, and patrons are encouraged to buy early for the best seats at the best prices. The show is appropriate for adult and older teenage audiences.

Tickets to 7 p.m. Sunday College Night performances are priced at just $10 for college students with a valid school ID. Student tickets are just $15 on the day of the show for all other performances.

Discounted ticket prices for teens and students are always available for $30 and $45, depending on seat location.

Previews for THE SECOND CITY’S HOLIDAZED & CONFUSED REVUE are at 8 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 5; 7 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 6; 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 8; and 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 9. The official opening night is Thursday, Nov. 10, at 7:30 p.m.

Performances take place at 7:30 p.m. Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays; 8 p.m. Fridays; 4 and 8 p.m. Saturdays; and 2 and 7 p.m. Sundays.

Free Meet the Artists programs that allow audiences to interact with the cast and others associated with THE SECOND CITY’S HOLIDAZED & CONFUSED REVUE will be held after the following performances:
2 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 13; 2 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 20; 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 23; and 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 8.
