The cast of Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati’s regional premiere production of THE OTHER PLACE, by Sharr White, discusses their role and the show.

Juliana Smithton, an accomplished scientist and pharmaceuticals pitch-woman, is a dominating personality who’s always in command, but recently her life has become unhinged. Her husband has filed for divorce, her daughter has eloped with a much older man, and her own health hangs in jeopardy. However, in this brilliantly troubling and unexpectedly humorous play, nothing is as it seems. Piece by piece, a mystery unfolds as fact blurs with fiction and the elusive truth about Juliana boils to the surface.

Performances continue through Feb. 15. Click here for more information.
