Showboat Majestic’s ROUNDING THIRD Earns LCT Recommendation

Mike Sherman as Don & Michael Schlotterbeck as Michael.

Panelists for the League of Cincinnati Theatres (LCT) have recognized Showboat Majestic’s ROUNDING THIRD as a recommended production.

ROUNDING THIRD introduces us to two little-league coaches — one a veteran, the other a new recruit — and their markedly different personal circumstances and philosophies about the game. Their clash of styles and wills drives this funny, acerbic and touching play through the bumpy terrain of fatherhood and baseball.

One panelist noted that the “comedic timing was spot on”. Another commented, “Both actors engaged the audience—we were the unseen baseball team—eliciting responses, laughs, and groans.”

ROUNDING THIRD continues through August 26th. Tickets can be purchased at www.cincinnatilandmarkproductions/sbm.

Final LCT awards will be determined at the end of the season and announced at the LCT gala in the spring.

The League of Cincinnati Theatres was founded in 1999 to strengthen, nurture and promote Cincinnati’s theatre community. LCT provides its member companies and individual members with education, resources and services to enhance the quality and exposure of the theatre community in Cincinnati and increase community awareness, attendance and involvement.

BIG RIVER

Music by Roger Miller | Lyrics by Roger Miller | Book by William Hauptman | Adapted from the novel by Mark Twain

Twain’s timeless classic sweeps us down the mighty Mississippi as the irrepressible Huck Finn helps his friend Jim, a slave, escape to freedom at the mouth of the Ohio River. Their adventures along the way are hilarious, suspenseful and heartwarming, bringing to life your favorite characters from the novel-the Widow Douglas and her stern sister, Miss Watson; the uproarious King and Duke, who may or may not be as harmless as they seem; Huck’s partner in crime, Tom Sawyer, and their rowdy gang of pals; Huck’s drunken father, the sinister Pap Finn; the lovely Mary Jane Wilkes and her trusting family. Propelled by an award winning score from Roger Miller, the king of country music, this jaunty journey provides a brilliantly theatrical celebration of pure Americana.

Showboat’s GEORGE M! Earns 2 LCT Nominations

Matt Dentino as George M. Cohan.

Panelists for the League of Cincinnati Theatres (LCT) have recognized the Showboat Majestic’s GEORGE M! with a nomination for Matt Dentino as lead actor in a musical.

GEORGE M! tells the life story of George M. Cohan, a giant of the American musical theater who gave us such songs as “Yankee Doodle Dandy”, “Over There”, “You’re A Grand Old Flag”, and “Give My Regards to Broadway”, and who transformed the Broadway variety show into a book-driven musical where song and dance advance plot.

Matt Dentino, who played George M. Cohan, was nominated for lead actor in a musical. Panelists thought that he was “polished, confident and utterly in command of the role” and that he showed “great enthusiasm and showmanship”.

GEORGE M! continues through July 29th. Tickets can be purchased at www.cincinnatilandmarkproductions.com/sbm.

Final LCT awards will be determined at the end of the season and announced at the LCT gala in the spring.

League of Cincinnati Theatres was founded in 1999 to strengthen, nurture and promote Cincinnati’s theatre community. LCT provides its member companies and individual members with education, resources and services to enhance the quality and exposure of the theatre community in Cincinnati and increase community awareness, attendance and involvement.
