Panelists for the League of Cincinnati Theatres (LCT) have recognized the Falcon Theatre’s AND THEN THERE WERE NONE with 2 LCT nominations as well as distinguishing it as a recommended production: Ensemble in a Play, and Scenic Design (Jared Doran).
AND THEN THERE WERE NONE remains the best selling mystery story of all time because of its timeless characters and thrilling story line. 10 guests on an isolated island…all invited to a dinner party which soon turns into a mysterious evening filled with murder and suspicion.
Panelists praised the ensemble cast who included “some of our community’s terrific character actors… each of them did an outstanding job to bring this play to the stage.” Of Jared Doran’s set design, one panelist remarked “I have seen a LOT of shows at Falcon’s space on Monmouth Street, but NEVER have I see a set configuration look as stylish and accommodate ten actors as well as that set. It was incredibly well done.” Of the show as a whole, panelists called it a “phenomenal outing…a fun night of theatre.”
AND THEN THERE WERE NONE continues through April 20th. Tickets can be purchased at www.falcontheater.net.
Final LCT awards will be determined at the end of the season and announced at the LCT gala in the spring.
The League of Cincinnati Theatres was founded in 1999 to strengthen, nurture and promote Cincinnati’s theatre community. LCT provides its member companies and individual members with education, resources and services to enhance the quality and exposure of the theatre community in Cincinnati and increase community awareness, attendance and involvement.

Falcon Theater will hold auditions for a summer production of the musical FLOYD COLLINS, written by Adam Guettel and Tina Landau.
In 1925, while chasing a dream of fame and fortune by turning a Kentucky cave into a tourist attraction, Floyd Collins himself became the attraction when he got trapped 200 feet underground. Alone but for sporadic contact with the outside world, Floyd fought for his sanity and ultimately his life as the rescue effort above exploded into the first genuine media circus. Reporters and gawkers …from across the country descended on the property, fueling the hysteria and manipulating the nation into holding its collective breath. This haunting musical – one of the most acclaimed in recent years – tells the transcendent tale of a true American dreamer.
An additional night of auditions have been scheduled for Tue, May 21 at 7pm at the Monmouth Theatre.
Parts available for 11 men and 2 women. Please prepare a musical selection that best shows your vocal range, as well as a monologue – both not to exceed 2 minutes.
We are also welcoming applications and resumes for designers. Looking to talk with scenic, lighting and sound designers interested in working on this project.
Performances planned for August 16-25, 2013 at the Monmouth Theatre in Newport, KY.
Presented by Falcon Theatre/4th Wall Productions.

Music Direction by Steve Goers
