Cincinnati's Playhouse in the Park's Outreach Production of CYRANO Comes To The Covedale Center for the Performing Arts

The Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park's production of CYRANO, adapted by Jo Roets from Edmond Rostand's classic play Cyrano De Bergerac, will perform at The Covedale Center for the Performing Arts, 4990 Glenway Avenue located in West Price Hill.

The show is open to the public and will take place on Saturday, February 6, 2010 @ 1 pm. Tickets are just $5.00 each! Call the Covedale Box Office at 513 241 6550 for tickets or log on to www.cincinnatilandmarkproductions.com . The show is great for the whole family, especially from grade 6 and above.

The Show: The famously large-nosed Cyrano is in love with Roxanne. She, in turn, adores Christian. What Cyrano lacks in beauty he makes up for with his artful words and their effect on the heart of the woman he loves. Christian, though handsome beyond words, can barely form a sentence without the help of his friend Cyrano. The two are bound by one thing: their love for Roxanne. They conspire to work together to create the perfect man - one with Cyrano's romantic and thoughtful words and Christian's dashing features. Will Roxanne fall in love with a face or the words behind it? This unique adaptation of the French classic CYRANO DE BERGERAC uses just three actors and one musician to retell a romantic and poetic story in a theatrically exciting, refreshing new setting.

Tim Abrahamsen (Cyrano), Jonathan Self (Christian, DeGuiche & others) and Kelly Pekar (Roxanne & others) from the Bruce E. Coyle Intern Company will appear in CYRANO, as well as local percussionist and composer Grant Cambridge.

Education Director Mark Lutwak directs. Other members of the production team include Gordon DeVinney (Costume Designer), Anna Goller (Set & Props Designer), and Grace Briner (Stage Manager).

CYRANO will also tour to other regional community art centers, middle schools and high schools from January 16 through February 19. For more information about The Playhouse's education and outreach programs, contact the Education Department at 513/345-2242 or visit www.cincyplay.com.

And don't forget the Covedale's own Saturday Morning Children's Series will continue in the New Year and will feature The Doktor Kaboom Show on Saturday, February 27, 2010 - An uproariously funny, over-the-top scientist with a driving passion to share his outrageous theories with you. (Imagine Mister Wizard and the Nutty Professor had a rock and roll German love child, and you'll begin to get the idea). Doktor Kaboom keeps his audiences riveted with interest and rolling with laughter.

Covedale's Saturday Morning Children's Series is for the whole family, starting with grades K -12.
