In the middle of a howling snowstorm, a bus out of Kansas City pulls up at a cheerful roadside diner. All roads are blocked, and four or five weary travelers are going to have to hole up until morning. Cherie, a nightclub chanteuse in a sparkling gown and a seedy fur-trimmed jacket, is the passenger with the most to worry about. A belligerent cowhand is right behind her, ready to sling her over his shoulder and carry her, alive and kicking, all the way to Montana.

Auditions Announced for SIX DANCE LESSONS IN SIX WEEKS at Mariemont Players

Mariemont Players Announces Auditions For Six Dance Lessons in Six Weeks

MPI_logoDirector Skip Fenker will hold open auditions for the Mariemont Players production of SIX DANCE LESSONS IN SIX WEEKS, a comedy/drama by Richard Alfieri, at 7:00pm on Sunday, May 31st and at 7:00pm on Monday, June 1st, at the Walton Creek Theatre, 4101 Walton Creek Road, Cincinnati, OH 45227 (just east of Mariemont).

SIX DANCE LESSONS IN SIX WEEKS is a touching and human comedy about a formidable retiree, who hires an acerbic dance instructor to give her private dance lessons — one per week for six weeks in her beachfront condo. What begins as an antagonistic relationship blossoms into an intimate friendship as these two very different people reveal their secrets, fears and joys while dancing. Ultimately they learn to overcome their outward differences and discover an unlikely but profound connection.

This charming comedy features a cast of two:

  • LILY HARRISON – an aging but still stylish and attractive Southern Baptist retiree. She is formidable, stubborn and outspoken. Stage age: 70s.
  • MICHAEL MINETTI – an acerbic, former Broadway chorus boy turned dance instructor. He is charming, impulsive and suffers from chronic foot-in-mouth disease. Stage age: 40s.

Both roles are open. Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script. A dance audition will be a part of the callback auditions on Wednesday, June 3rd.

Rehearsals will begin in mid-July. The production will be staged September 11th through September 27th, 2015.

For additional information, please email the director at skipfenker@gmail.com.

Mariemont Players Announces TWELVE ANGRY JURORS

The Cast of TWELVE ANGRY JURORS.

The cast of TWELVE ANGRY JURORS.

Mariemont Players presents TWELVE ANGRY JURORS,  a thriller by Reginald Rose, adapted by Sherman L. Sergel, at the Walton Creek Theater, 4101 Walton Creek Road (just East of Mariemont), May 8th through May 24th, 2015.

A 19-year old man has just stood trial for the fatal stabbing of his father. As the 12 jurors are taken into the bleak jury room, it looks like an open-and-shut case — until one of the jurors begins opening the others’ eyes to the facts. One juror says, “We should not make it a personal thing.” But personal it does become, with each juror revealing his or her own character as the various testimonies are re-examined, the murder is re-enacted and a new murder threat is born before their eyes!
TWELVE ANGRY JURORS is directed by Dan Maloney, produced by Laura Bathe, and features Jamie Ball, Ann Barfels, Jim Black, Bill Hartnett, Barbara Karol, Naz Khodadad, Art Kibby, Patrick Kramer, Cathy Roesenor, Arny Stoller, Tom Storey, Steve Winslow and Tony Wright.
Performances will be at 8:00pm on May 8th, May 9th, May 15th, May 16th and May 22nd; at 2:00pm on May 10th and May 24th; at 7:30pm on May 14th and May 21st; at 2:00pm and 7:00pm on May 17th; and at 3:00pm & 8:00pm on May 23rd.
For more information or to order tickets for TWELVE ANGRY JURORS call Betsy at 513-684-1236 OR order on line at www.mariemontplayers.com. All seats are reserved and cost $20 each.

MARIEMONT PLAYERS, INC.
2015-2016 Season

MPI_logoSIX DANCE LESSONS IN SIX WEEKS
A Comedy/Drama by Richard Alfieri
September 11–27, 2015
Lilly, the aging wife of a Southern Baptist minister, takes a dance lesson every week from Michael, a sarcastic, much younger, instructor. What starts as a battle gradually becomes something quite different.

CHRISTMAS BELLES
A Comedy by Jamie Wooten, Jessie Jones and Nicholas Hope
November 6–22, 2015
A church Christmas program spins hilariously out of control in this southern comedy. This hilarious holiday journey through a misadventure-filled Christmas Eve is guaranteed to bring joy to your world!

RADIUM GIRLS
A Drama by D W Gregory
January 8–24, 2016
Inspired by a true story, Radium Girls tells of the girls who painted radium numerals on watches to make them glow in the dark at a time when few realized how dangerous radioactivity could be. Written with warmth and humor, Radium Girls has been hailed by critics as a powerful and engrossing play.

HAY FEVER
A Comedy by Noel Coward
March 4–20, 2016
Unconventional, risqué, and often downright rude, the Blisses are everything an upper-crust English family should not be. This is made abundantly clear when each family member invites a guest for the weekend.  Alliances form, affairs begin, and formality is thrown to the wind. Noel Coward’s perfect comedy will send you home laughing.

WHO AM I THIS TIME?
A Comedy by Aaron Posner, adapted from stories by Kurt Vonnegut
May 6–22, 2016
Three comic masterpieces by Kurt Vonnegut are sewn together into a seamless evening of love (pure and complicated), hilarity and humanity. This is a smart delightful comedy for the whole family.

THE COMPLETE WORKS OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE (ABRIDGED)
A Comedy by Adam Long, Daniel Singer and Jess Winfield
July 8–24, 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.
