A desire for strong actor centered plays with challenging characters has resulted in one of Cincinnati’s youngest and boldest new theaters companies!
The Untethered Theater, critically acclaimed by the League of Cincinnati Theaters audience favorite for Red Light Winter is kicking off its third season in November with THE HOUSE OF YES by Wendy Macleod. THE HOUSE OF YES is a dark comedy that pries into the lives of the dysfunctional Pascal family. Time seems to have come to a screeching halt for this family with the Kennedy assassination. The story picks up as a Thanksgiving hurricane swirls outside. Jackie Pascal believes she is Jackie O! When her brother and former lover arrives with his new fiancé, mayhem and murder ensue. The show runs November 15, 16, 22, 23, 30 and December 2 and 6 at 8pm, November 17 at 3pm, and is directed by Leah Strasser.
Next up for the season in 2014 is REVELATION by Samuel Brett Williams. Who knew the End of Days could be so much fun? Kevin Crowley directs this comedy that follows Brandon and Rebecca, a match made in the Rapture. When people suddenly begin to disappear, Brandon’s Southern Baptist roots and Rapture preparedness leave him armed with a Bible, bottled water, canned food, and a mouthpiece (for the gnashing of teeth). Brandon finds his “save my soul” mate in Rebecca is a pre med atheist. Who joins him on a journey from New York City to Arkadelphia, Arkansas in hopes of finding the New Jerusalem. Playwright Samuel Brett Williams explores faith, love, and the American landscape in a pitch black comedy about the End Days.
REVELATION runs January 24, 25, 30, 31 and February 1, 3, 6, 7, 8 at 8pm, January 26 at 7pm and Feb 2 at 3pm.
The Untethered Theater calls the Clifton Performance Theater home, but a flood there forced the cancellation of the summer production. Untethered Theater Company is committed to bringing exciting, challenging – and often little-seen – plays to a Cincinnati audience in intimate, non-traditional spaces. This season the Clifton Players will join creative minds with the Untethered Theater to offer a season pass. Untethered Theater also calls the CPT home. The two companies are collaborating to offer the BYOB ticket strip that will have a ticket to each Clifton Players show and each Untethered Theater for 100 dollars. In addition to the season ticket, there will be one free ticket which you can use to bring a friend, BYOB (Bring Your Own Buddy)!
