The Drama Workshop is proud to present Sean Grennan’s family comedy,MAKING GOD LAUGH.
Come see how one family handles all that life throws at them as they celebrate the holidays. Beginning in 1980, as the adult kids come home for the holidays they see how plans and dreams adapt from what they originally planned. Their parents Ruthie and Bill have to deal with changes as well when family rituals and traditions don’t always fit as the years roll by.
There will be ten performances beginning Friday, December 3 through Sunday, December 19. Friday and Saturday night performances are at 8:00 pm. Sunday matinees are at 2 pm and we have one Thursday evening performance (December 16) at 7:30 pm. All performances are at The Glenmore Playhouse, 3716 Glenmore Ave. Cheviot, OH, 45211.
Tickets are $18 if purchased online or by phone and $20 at the door. Tickets may be purchased by calling the TDW ticket line at 513-598-8303 or by ordering online at www.thedramaworkshop.org.
As Woody Allen famously quipped, “If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans.”
You’ll laugh, you’ll get a little teary-eyed and you’ll definitely understand! Come join us this holiday season.
********* HOLIDAY GIVING TREE*********
As part of our holiday season, TDW will have a Giving Tree in our lobby. Our “ornaments” are requests for items we can use to help continue providing great theatre in a safe and clean environment for our patrons. Things like toilet paper, cups, napkins, paper towels, painting supplies, and gift cards to hardware stores. We hope you’ll participate. You can bring your gift in when you come to see the show, or call us at 513-598-8303 to know when someone will be at the Playhouse to receive your donation.

MAKING GOD LAUGH
The Drama Workshop invites everyone to attend ALL TOGETHER NOW! a global celebration of the re-opening of theaters. This review is being done by thousands of theatrical organizations on the same dates all around the world including all 50 US states and more than 40 countries/territories.. Created by Music Theatre International, Inc., ALL TOGETHER NOW! features a variety of songs from popular musicals of many eras.
The Drama Workshop’s production of Home Brew Theatre V is in need of a young woman (stage age 14-17) to be in a short musical. The musical is called PUDDLE JUMPERS by Fred Tacon. Directed by Lynne Aronson. The character is Becca, a 1st soprano. She is a snotty upperclassman who is very miffed about having to take the bus to school, in the rain. Two other classmates show up and everyone wants to share Becca’s umbrella.
