Back row: Robert Weidel as Benjamin, Jan Costello as Janet, Samantha Toberman as Edna & Scott Nesbitt as John. Front row: Chuck Ingram as Eric, Tony Wright as Charles & Rita Winters as Helen.

Mariemont Players presents TAKING MY TURN, the award-winning, critically acclaimed musical about people “in their prime” performed by people “in their prime,” at the Walton Creek Theater, 4101 Walton Creek Road (just East of Mariemont), September 12 through September 28, 2014.

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. Scott Nesbitt as John, Tony Wright as Charles, Robert Weidle as Benjamin, Betty Coulter as Dorothy, Nor-Rita Winters as Helen, Samantha Toberman as Edna and Jan Costello as Janet.

MPI Hosts Directors Panel

mpi_logoMariemont Players, Inc. Hosts Directors Panel

Walton Creek Theatre
4101 Walton Creek Road, Cincinnati, Ohio 45227

Saturday, September 13, 2014, 10:00 am-12:00 pm

Do you think you have the makings of a director?  Are you a new director looking for nuggets of knowledge? MPI is offering a unique opportunity to learn more about the art, process and business of directing theatrical productions.  A panel of six directors experienced in professional and community theatre productions will be on hand to answer your questions and share their expertise.  Rather than a “How To”, this forum is designed to help you assess your suitability for the role and prepare for the rewards and challenges.

MPI is providing this workshop free of charge for current paid members of the group.  If you are not a member, you can purchase a yearly membership the day of the workshop for $20.  MPI is planning additional member workshops for the coming season in a variety of subject areas related to the production of theatre.

RSVP to Traci Taylor, Membership Chair at tracit1@live.com.  Please include any questions you have for the panel and your main goal for attending so we can make the most of your experience.
