The Passing of Stephanie Stoller

-From Mariemont Players Facebook page

Mariemont Players, Inc. is deeply saddened to share the passing of longtime supporter and cherished member of our theatre family, Stephanie Stoller, who left us on November 28, 2025 at the age of 90.

Stephanie was a woman of extraordinary spirit—determined, optimistic, and endlessly devoted to her family, her community, and the arts. Alongside her husband Arny, she was a constant source of warmth and support within our organization. The two were fixtures at members’ parties, longtime season subscribers who rarely missed a single production, and enthusiastic champions of community theatre across Cincinnati.

For decades, Stephanie volunteered her time and energy at the ACT Cincinnati convention, always by Arny’s side, giving back to the theatre community they both loved. Her presence was one of kindness, curiosity, and genuine joy—qualities that endeared her to so many within our organization.

Beyond her contributions to the arts, Stephanie led a remarkable life of service and leadership. As the first and only woman elected to City Council in Blue Ash, she served for an incredible 44 years, including terms as both Vice Mayor and Mayor. Her impact on the city, on her community, and on those who knew her is immeasurable.

Stephanie’s dedication, generosity, and unwavering support for Mariemont Players, Inc. will always be remembered. She will be profoundly missed.

Our hearts are with Arny, their daughters Debbe and Patti, their grandchildren, great-grandchildren, extended family, and all who loved her.

Service Information:

  • Thursday, December 4th
  • Visitation: 1:00–2:00 PM
  • Funeral Service: 2:00–2:30 PM
  • Weil Kahn Funeral Home, 8350 Cornell Road, Cincinnati, OH 45249
Burial immediately following at United Jewish Cemetery of Montgomery
Open House at the Stollers’ until 6:00 PM

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Planned Parenthood of Southwest Ohio or a charity of your choice.

Stephanie, thank you for the countless ways you enriched our community. Your legacy continues in every show, every gathering, and every moment of joy shared in our theater.

Mariemont Players Announces 2026–2027 Season — Celebrating 90 Years of Theatre Magic

It’s a milestone year at Mariemont Players, Inc., and we couldn’t be more excited to share the lineup for our 90th Season!

This year’s selection process was extra special — after 1,504 votes from 151 patrons, we narrowed it down to a Top 12 list of fan-favorite shows. Then, 18 directors were interviewed and invited to select three productions from that list or choose a wild card from our 90-year history.

The result? A season that perfectly blends beloved classics, fresh energy, and the spirit of community theatre.

September 10–27, 2026 – ARSENIC AND OLD LACE (Directed by Jennifer Day)

Featuring Danny Davies & Wayne Wright, the original MPI “Tuna” duo, returning to reprise their iconic roles! This laugh-out-loud holiday favorite brings the chaos and charm of small-town Texas to the stage.

January 7–24, 2027 – BLITHE SPIRIT (Directed by David Derringer)
Noël Coward’s witty comedy of manners turns otherworldly when a séance brings back a spirited ex-wife with unfinished business.

March 4–21, 2027 – THE LION IN WINTER (Directed by Jerry Wiesenhahn)
Royal power, passion, and betrayal collide in this gripping family drama about love and legacy in medieval England.

May 6–23, 2027 – ENCHANTED APRIL (Directed by jef brown)
Four women escape to an Italian castle and rediscover joy, love, and hope under the Mediterranean sun.

July 8–25, 2027 – 12 ANGRY JURORS (Directed by Michael Kiser)
A timeless, powerful exploration of justice and conscience as twelve jurors decide the fate of a young defendant.
