The Brothers Grimm hit Broadway with an epic fairy tale where worlds collide. Stephen Sondheim takes favorite storybook characters and brings them together for a timeless musical and modern classic. The story follows a Baker and his wife who wish to have a child, Cinderella who wishes to attend the King’s Festival, and Jack who wishes his cow would give milk… and a Witch! In Act One, Everyone’s wish is granted, but the consequences of their actions return to haunt them in Act Two, as they grow beyond the realm of fairy tales. One of Sondheim’s most popular works, INTO THE WOODS features great songs like “Agony,” “No One is Alone” and “Children Will Listen.”

Panelists for the League of Cincinnati Theatres (LCT) have recognized lead actor Matt Dentino, choreographer Kate Glasheen, and costume designer Caren Young for their contributions to Covedale Center for the Performing Arts WILL ROGERS FOLLIES.

WILL ROGERS FOLLIES is the Tony award winning musical that chronicles the life of Will Rogers, one of America’s most beloved humorists, entertainers, and pundits, who captivated the country with his common sense wisdom.

Panelists were enamored of Matt Dentino’s performance as Will Rogers: “Matt Dentino delivers as the homespun, nonchalant and witty title character…full of charm and talent…He made me believe he WAS Rogers.” Of Caren Young’s costume design, panelists wrote: “Lavish designs with thoughtful color coordination…This was supposed to be a Ziegfeld Follies, and the costumes for the 13-member chorus measured up. The variety was impressive.” Finally, Kate Glasheen’s choreography was highly praised: “fast-paced, complicated, and perfectly executed.”

CCPA_Will Rogers Follies2

WILL ROGERS FOLLIES runs through August 31st. Tickets can be purchased at http://www.cincinnatilandmarkproductions.com.

Nominations for LCT awards will be determined and announced at the end of the season and winners awarded at the annual LCT party in the summer.

Blanche du Bois, a woman whose life has been undermined by her romantic illusions, rejects the realities of life as her desperate defense of her weak, vulnerable soul.
