We're going back to the 80's!

Angry Housewives (the Musical)

April 16-May 2nd, 2009


In need of fulfillment, four housewives are desperately searching for change in their lives. Bev, Wendy, Jetta, and Carol are dealing with unruly teenagers, hopeless husbands, divorce, and money woes. The answer to their problems? Form a rock group and enter the Battle of the Bands at a local punk club! Funny and feverishly entertaining, this rock musical puts a satirical twist on 1980s feminism with numbers like "Man from Glad" and "Eat Your F*$#ing Cornflakes!" Originally intended for a six-week run at the Pioneer Square Theatre in Seattle, Angry Housewives ran there for nearly seven years. Don't miss this hilarious regional premiere!

Directed by Nathan Gabriel
Book & Lyrics by A.M. Collins, Music & Lyrics by Chad Henry

Do you Believe?

Is there really a Santa Claus or is Kris Kringle insane? That’s the question before the court. Doris Walker has taught her daughter Susan to reject all notions of fancy. Their cynical ways are challenged when they meet a man who claims to be the real Santa Claus. He soon fills everyone with Christmas spirit... but when Kringle is declared insane and put on trial, everyone's faith is put to the test as young and old face the age old question: Do you believe in Santa Claus?

    New Edgecliff Theatre has just launched our second decade of producing quality theatre in Cincinnati. We’re entering our 11th production year with the momentum of our most successful season to date: our 2007-2008 line-up saw increased attendance and incredible guest artists, as well as cut-throat competition from our Second Annual Director’s Competition. We also introduced Sweet Suspense, a radio drama/theatre hybrid complete with desserts from local eateries.

    In addition to success at the theater, we expanded our influence with our Educational Outreach program: NET artists created improvisation, make-up, and movement workshops presented to area youth at local Hamilton Country libraries. We have also solidified our partnership with Dramakinetics, a performing arts outreach program specifically designed to incorporate special needs individuals with typically developing individuals in a creative learning environment. All of these successes poise New Edgecliff Theatre for another ten years of achievement.
