Princess Party and PIP’s ROSES AND THORNS at The Arts Center at Dunham

Princess Party and Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park’s Off The Hill Production
ROSES AND THORNSs at the Arts Center at Dunham

PIP_Roses and ThornsThe Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park’s Off the Hill family series production of ROSES & THORNS (A TALE OF BEAUTY & THE BEAST) by Bret Fetzer will be performed at the Arts Center at Dunham on Saturday, November 1, 2014 at 2:00 pm. The show is free and open to the public and made possible by a grant from Price Hill Will Arts CAT.

Prior to the performance, children can join the “Be Our Guest” princess party with Bella and her friends from 12:30-1:30 p.m. The princess party costs $5 per child with proceeds benefiting the renovation of the Arts Center at Dunham. To RSVP to the “Be Our Guest” princess party, go online to Sunset Players website (www.sunsetplayers.org) or call 513-588-4988.

The twisted comedy ROSES & THORNS revisits the original story of beautiful Rose who sacrifices her own happiness to be the servant of a hideous Beast in order to protect her father and family. Based on the 18th, century version of the story, the play embraces slapstick, satire and high camp styles even as it explores the darker depths of the tale, which proves that true beauty is always more than skin deep. This performance will be sign language interpreted.

Off the Hill is made possible by the John A. Schroth Family Charitable Trust, PNC Bank, Trustee. Seasonal support is the Playhouse in the Park’s outreach programs is provided by the Hearst Foundations and the Robert and Adele Schiff Family Foundation.

The Arts Center at Dunham is a fine arts center for the west side of Cincinnati. Housed in one of the three remaining buildings of what was the first municipally owned tuberculosis sanatorium in the United States, the Arts Center includes a 350-seat performance venue as well as extensive studio and programming space. The Arts Center is located in the Dunham Recreation Complex. See what is happening at the Arts Center at Dunham on Facebook.
