Includes a world premiere, plus a new ‘Christmas Carol’ for Moe & Jack’s Place
Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park announced its 2023-2024 season today, including an all-new production of Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” specially designed for Moe and Jack’s Place – The Rouse Theatre, which opened in March. The season also includes a world premiere adaptation of “Dracula,” regional premieres of modern stories from Pulitzer-winning playwrights including Lynn Nottage, plus the return of fan-favorite “Ring of Fire: The Music of Johnny Cash.”
According to Blake Robison, producing artistic director, “Our 2023-24 season … features stories that feel familiar, that stand the test of time, and that are fresh and contemporary. We’re looking forward to the first full season in our mainstage theatre complex with a lineup of shows that exemplifies the best of American theatre.”
