MPI_Beau Jest logoBEAU JEST
Mariemont Players
Sept. 9-25
Walton Creek Theatre

Directed by Dan Maloney
Produced by Norma Niinemets

Cast: Meagan Blasch, Joel Lind, Linda Callahan, Evan Blanton, and Jay Gossett

Sarah is a nice Jewish girl with a problem: her parents want her married to a nice Jewish boy. They have never met her boyfriend, a WASP executive named Chris Kringle. She tells them she is dating a Jewish doctor and they insist on meeting him. She plans a dinner party and, over the heated protests of Chris, employs an escort service to send her a Jewish date to be Dr. Steinberg. Instead, they send Bob Schroeder, an aspiring actor who agrees to perform the impersonation. Happily, he is extremely convincing in the role and Sarah’s parents are enraptured. Soon, even Sarah falls for Bob. BEAU JEST reminds us of the kind of humor we can find in our own lives – the kind that renews us from within, if only in passing moments.

Cast Announced for RAVENCROFT at Mariemont Players

MPI_logoDirector Jef Brown is pleased to announce the cast for Mariemont Players’ November production of RAVENCROFT:

  • Ruffing – Collin Wenzell
  • Marcy – Susie Unes
  • Mrs. Ravenscroft – Faye Crawford
  • Gillian – Tasha Boeckmann
  • Dolly – Patricia Mullins
  • Mrs. French – Jan Costello

Synopsis:
On a snowy night, Inspector Ruffing is called to a remote house to investigate the headlong plunge of Patrick Roarke down the main staircase. He becomes involved in the lives of five alluring and dangerous women: Marcy, the beautiful Viennese governess with a past; Mrs. Ravenscroft, the flirtatious lady of the manor; Gillian, her charming but possibly demented daughter; Mrs. French, the formidable and passionate cook, and Dolly, a terrified maid. They lead him through a bewildering labyrinth of contradictory versions of Patrick’s demise and that of the late Mr. Ravenscroft. There are ghosts on the staircase, skeletons in the closet, and much more than the Inspector bargained for. His investigation leads into own tortured soul and the nature of truth itself.

RAVENCROFT runs November 4th-20th. To order tickets, call Betsy at 513-684-1236 OR order online at www.mariemontplayers.com. All seats are reserved and $20 each.

Mariemont Players presents THE COMPLETE WORKS OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE (ABRIDGED), a comedy by Adam Long, Daniel Singer and Jess Winfield at the Walton Creek Theater, 4101 Walton Creek Road (just East of Mariemont), July 8th through July 24th, 2016.

Fast paced, witty and physical, this play is full of laughter for Shakespeare lovers and haters alike. It’s a Shakespearian mix of pratfalls, clunky female impersonators, clean-cut ribaldry, and broad burlesque. Expect a delightful evening brushing up on your Shakespeare.
