HAPPY BIRTHDAY WANDA JUNE Runs Sept. 26-Oct. 5

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WANDA JUNE
One Off Productions
Sept. 26-Oct. 5
Gabriel’s Corner [Over-the-Rhine]

Cast: Rory Sheridan as Harold Ryan, Tess Talbot as Penelope Ryan/Mildred, Brian Willis as Looseleaf Harper, Jared Earland as Herb Shuttle/Von Konigswald, David Derringer as Dr. Norbert Woodly, Lucas Busemeyer as Paul Ryan & Ashlynn Hezlep as Wanda June

In his first published play, Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. finds a powerful vehicle for his tragicomical imagination. When the great, presumed-dead, adventure-hunter Harold Ryan unexpectedly returns after eight years—on his birthday!—his wife is aghast and his son is enchanted. Vonnegut bakes up a birthday cake of phony heroes and male swagger, frosted with farce in “a simple-minded play about men who enjoy killing—and those who don’t.”

  • Thu-Fri, Sept. 26-27 at 7:30pm
  • Sun, Sept. 29 at 7:30pm

One-Off Productions Debuts with ROMEO AND JULIET: A FOOL’S PARADISE

OOPs_Romeo and Juliet a Fools Paradise(Cincinnati, OH — January 22, 2023) One-Off Productions, an independent theatre initiative from Rupert Spraul, is set to premiere its inaugural production of Romeo and Juliet: A Fool’s Paradise at Gabriel’s Corner in OTR from February 8-17, 2024. One-Off aims to offer accessible, experimental theatre to the Cincinnati community and calls this production “a clown show–like Dean Martin chugged a beer, hit you upside the head with a salami, fell in love, then died!” Rupert Spraul, as lead producer, takes on direction; Hannah Gregory joins as production manager/co-producer; and Josh Reiter supports as co-producer. The cast boasts local favorites, as well as actors from Chicago, Virgina, and beyond, with CCM graduates Cameron Nalley and Olivia Buss taking on the titular characters, respectively.

Spraul says:

“Our production’s unique exploration of this story and its timeless humanity highlights the uproarious comedy of this story (that is often neglected) which resists giving way to tragedy…Until it does. I don’t think this is a play that needs, or wants, deep academic examination. It’s something that every adult understands: Youth is, or should be, a joyous-inconsequential-fantastical-clowshow, then you grow up and lose things you can’t get back, and the clown show ends.”

Romeo and Juliet: A Fool’s Paradise is a self-produced project; and with fair pay being a cornerstone of One-Off’s mission, crowdfunding is in full-swing to bring this show to life. Eighty percent of the budget is committed to actor payment, with the remaining twenty percent covering venue rental; set, props, and costumes; and technical elements.

The GoFundMe is live at https://gofund.me/52715367.

Romeo and Juliet: A Fool’s Paradise runs at Gabriel’s Corner  (1425 Sycamore, Cincinnati, OH, 45202) on:

  • Thursday, February 8 at 7:30pm
  • Friday, February 9 at 7:30pm
  • Saturday, February 10 at 7:30pm
  • Wednesday, February 14 at 7:30pm
  • Thursday, February 15 at 7:30pm
  • Friday, February 16 at 7:30pm
  • Saturday, February 17 at 7:30pm
