THE OTHER PLACE
Presented by Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati
Jan. 27-Feb. 15
Over-the-Rhine

Directed by D. Lynn Meyers

Cast: Regina Pugh as Juliana, Michael G. Bath as Ian, Kelly Mengelkoch as The Woman & Billy Chace as The Man

REGIONAL PREMIERE. 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. Approximate running time: 1 hour, 20 minutes with no intermission. Content Advisory: This production contains strong language and adult themes and may not be suitable for all audiences.

MISC_Casting call2Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati Artistic Director, Lynn Meyers, is in charge of casting for the feature film THE BLUNDERER which is shooting in Cincinnati right now! It stars Jessica Biel and Patrick Wilson.

No acting is really involved and you just have to come wearing a certain type of clothing that the crew will notify you of beforehand. It pays $8 an hour and the shoot will most likely be from late morning to early evening.

If you or anyone you know may be interested, please email your name and number to blundererextrascasting@gmail.com

SLEEPING BEAUTY presented by Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati through Jan 4. Click here for more information on the production. I attended the opening night performance.

Third time and still as charming as ever.

One of ETC’s most cherished family-friendly holiday musicals returns to the stage for a third time. SLEEPING BEAUTY is written by local playwright Joseph McDonough with music and lyrics by David Kisor. The pair take the familiar story and give it a modern twist with a floral bent.

Deb.G.Girdler returns for a third time as the evil Wisteria who curses Briar Rose. Girdler is clearly having a blast on stage as she belittles and belts her way through the show.Joining her in a hat trick is Michael G. Bath as Wisteria’s hench-bird, Falcon. Smart tongued and quick-witted, the two make a delightfully wicked pair. Wisteria also performs my favorite numbers in the show, “A Thorn in my Side” and “I’ve Heard It All Before.”

Three of ETC’s “Wonderetts” return to play Wisteria’s three fairy sisters. Denise Devlin as Liliac, Sara Mackie as Marigold, & Brooke Steel as Daisy. As usual, the three have a fun chemistry and sound great together.

The royal parents, played by Phil Fiorini (King Stefan) & Kate Wilford (Queen Olivia) are an entertaining duo, especially when they don’t see eye to eye.

Busy as a bee Dee Anne Bryll stages fun choreography for several ensemble numbers.

The characters in the production have a very clever and unique look. Great work by costume designer Reba Senske and wig and makeup designer Kelly Yurko. Favorite costumes include Wisteria, her three sisters, Falcon, Queen Olivia and the dragon.

SLEEPING BEAUTY is entertaining, bright and fun for the whole family.

My rating: 3.75 out of 5

I would enjoy hearing what you think about the show or my review. All I ask is that you express your opinion without attacking someone else’s opinion. You can post your comments below.
