ON GOLDEN POND Runs Feb. 6-9

GHCT_On Golden PondON GOLDEN POND
Presented by Greater Hamilton Civic Theatre
Feb. 6-9
Hamilton

Directed by Joe Nagle & Dick Gentry

Cast: Jim Ward as Norman Thayer, Jr., Denise Cox as Ethel Thayer, Bob McClain as Charlie Martin, Tiffani Anglin as Chelsea Thayer Wayne, Nathan Sansone as Billy Ray & Tom Dierling as Bill Ray

This is the love story of Ethel and Norman Thayer, who are returning to their summer home on Golden Pond for the forty-eighth year. They are visited by their divorced, middle-aged daughter and her dentist fiancé, who then go off to Europe, leaving his teenage son behind for the summer. The boy quickly becomes the “grandchild” the elderly couple have longed for. In the end, as the summer wanes, so does their brief idyll, and in the final, deeply moving moments of the play, Norman and Ethel are brought even closer together by the incidence of a mild heart attack. Time, they know, is now against them, but the years have been good and, perhaps, another summer on Golden Pond still awaits.

  • Thu-Sat, Feb. 6-8 at 8pm
  • Sun, Feb. 9 at 2pm

DRAGGIN’ OUT – GHCT Fundraiser on Nov. 2

GHCT_ Draggin OutIt’s back by popular demand!! The ladies, members and friends of GHCT had so much fun last year spending the evening with Cincinnati-area drag queens getting “painted,” choosing their hair, finding a costume and then putting on one spectacular drag show, that we just had to do it again!!

On November 2, 2013 we will host Draggin’ Out at the Palace. The event is open to all women who want to spend the evening having fun and helping raise funds for the arts! Beginning at 7 pm, ladies will be directed to a station to pick their “sickening costume,” have their hair “jacked up,” or be “painted for filth.” During this time, we will provide beer, wine and appetizers.

At 10 pm, we will put on a show for neighbors, family and friends. Not a singer? Not to worry! Drag queens always lip-synch, so all you have to do is strut your stuff! All of the tips raised in the drag show will benefit The Palace.

A new twist this year is that the queen who raises the most money will become the Queen of our Palace! She will be Miss GHCT and will get her very own drag queen crown!

Space at the makeup table is limited. Be sure to make your reservations today by calling 513-737-PLAY or by emailing ghctplay@gmail.com. The cost of the event is $40, and remember, it’s tax deductable. You can be the Bio Diva you were meant to be while helping support the arts in your community! Get those fans to come and support the show, and you could be the very first Miss GHCT!!
