Cincinnati Shakespeare Company

Cincinnati Shakespeare CompanyFebruary 17 to March 18, 2012
Sense and Sensibility
By Jane Austen/a new adaptation by Jon Jory

Fortune lost to fate. Romance lost to folly. When a lack of luck makes for difficult marriage prospects, the Dashwood sisters set sail on the volatile seas of courtship. Both are seeking husbands, but have completely opposite approaches. The sisters soon discover that neither reserved Elinor’s common sense nor impulsive Marianne's passion offer the key to happiness. Scandalous secrets, burning betrayals, and suave (and some not-so-suave) suitors line the path to true love in this fresh adaptation of Sense and Sensibility.
Ticket information is available by calling The Cincinnati Shakespeare Company at (513) 381.BARD or visiting www.cincyshakes.com.
New Edgecliff Theatre

New Edgecliff TheatreFeb. 23-March 10, 2012
St. Nicholas
Directed by Michael Shooner

A burned-out theatre critic becomes infatuated with a young actress. Leaving his wife and children in Dublin to pursue his obsession, things become complicated in London when he finds himself in the employ of a coven of vampires! Written by Irish playwright Conor McPherson (The Weir, Shining City) and featuring New Edgecliff’s own Michael Shooner, this wicked and riveting one-man show is sure to captivate audiences. The Guardian (UK) says of McPherson: “…already heir to the great Irish tradition of absorbing tale-telling…He has a priceless narrative gift.” Don’t miss this theatrical event!

Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park

Merrily We Roll AlongMarch 3 – 31, 2012
Merrily We Roll Along
Stephen Sondheim’s remarkable Broadway fable of friendship and the high price of success opens in the present and moves backward in time. The triumphs and failures of a jaded composer and his two closest friends are traced from their estranged ending to their idealistic beginning. Directed by John Doyle, who led our Tony Award-winning production of Company, the performers in this highly anticipated revival will play all of the instruments as they act and sing one of Sondheim’s most melodic scores.
Speaking in TonguesFebruary 4 – March 4, 2012
Speaking in Tongues
Love, sex and deceit create the emotional labyrinth in this stylish, noir thriller. This theatrical jigsaw puzzle of parallel stories explores the betrayals of two married couples and the unexpected links among five isolated strangers, including a missing woman and a long-lost love. Each coincidental encounter and random confrontation exposes hidden connections in this fascinating psychological drama.
Ticket information is available by calling Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park at (800) 582-3208 or visiting www.cincyplay.com.
Ensemble Theatre of Cincinnati

Ensemble Theatre of CincinnatiMarch 14-April 1, 2012
Time Stands Still
By by Donald Margulies

2010 Tony Award Nominee for Best Play
This explosive new drama examines the relationship between headstrong Sarah, a star photojournalist, and James, a foreign correspondent, who were once addicted to the adrenaline of documenting the realities of war and are now grounded in their Brooklyn loft. Now, James writes online movie reviews while Sarah recovers from being injured by a roadside bomb in Iraq, itching to get back behind the camera. But, when their own story takes a sudden turn, the adventurous couple confronts the prospect of a more conventional life…and everything changes—in a flash. A gripping story of the war waged within ourselves, set against the backdrop of the Middle East conflict.
