Mariemont Players Announces IS LIFE WORTH LIVING?

MPI_Is Life Worth LivingMariemont Players presents Is Life Worth Living? a comedy by Lennox Robinson, at the Walton Creek Theater, 4101 Walton Creek Road (just East of Mariemont), November 7th through November 23rd, 2014.

Lennox Robinson’s pointed and charming comedy was originally produced in 1933 and successfully revived in 2009 by New York’s Mint Theatre company.

IS LIFE WORTH LIVING? is directed by Jef Brown, produced by Wayne Kirsch, and features Betsy Bossart, Jan Costello, Michael Gettinger,Gary Glass, Michael Ireland, Barbara Karol, Art Kibby, Dan Maloney, Stephanie Mooney, Arny Stoller, Traci Taylor, Collin Wenzell and Jack Williams.

The score (lyrics by Will Holt and music by Gary William Friedman) includes songs from a variety of inspirations: Broadway, classical, waltzes, ballads, jazz and gospel. The spoken words (book by Robert H. Livingston) represent stories, poems, remembrances, reflections and even complaints collected from interviews with everyday senior citizens. The result is fresh, a little feisty, full of poignancy and of humor. TAKING MY TURN was the winner of the 1984 Outer Critic’s Circle Award for Best Musical.
TAKING MY TURN is directed by Dennis Murphy, with music and vocal direction by John Nixon and produced by Michael Sauer and NancyAnn Storey, and features Chuck Ingram as Eric, H.
