OUR NEXT STAGED READING
"Shame Bomb”
by Edwin H. Clark
DON’T DUCK THIS APRIL C.P.I. BOMB! (No Foolin’)
A President whose wife has been assassinated; an energetic Chief of Staff, and an attractive Congresswoman are desperately seeking to pass some sensible gun legislation. But they can’t get it done without the aid of a contemporary Deus ex Machina. All of the above figure into Edwin H. Clark’s satire, Shame Bomb, which has its Cincinnati Playwrights Initiative staged reading, Tuesday, April 16, at 7:30 in the Aronoff Center’s Fifth Third Bank Theater. Tickets, just $10 apiece, are available on line at www.CincinnatiArts.org, by calling (513) 621-2787, or at the door on the evening of the performance.
"Cold Serial”
by Brian Forschner
C.P.I.’s MAY READING BRINGS BACK THE AMERICAN ‘RIPPER’
Playwright Brian Forschner has a personal connection to the events in Cold Serial, Cincinnati Playwrights Initiative’s May 21 (Tuesday) staged reading at 7:30 PM in the Aronoff Center’s Jarson Kaplan Theater. Adapted from his book, Cold Serial takes us back to the first decade of the 20 th Century when ‘Jack the Strangler’ raped and murdered a succession of girls and young women in Dayton, OH. Eventually, a suspect was arrested and tried, but was he the real ‘Jack,’ or did that villain get away with murder? For only $10 per ticket you may decide for yourself by going to CincinnatiArts.org, or ’phoning (513) 621-2787. Or get ’em at the door on May 14.
