Mr. Guittel OK'd a bare bones staging that will be purely about the singers and the songs. He's spending his summer at Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival and earned unqualified raves from New York critics for his Taming of the Shrew. We have to wait until April to see Mr. Mangano's work locally when he'll direct Our Country's Good on the CCM main stage . The League of Cincinnati Theatres will celebrate the new season with the unveiling of its Web site this week. Details coming soon.
Students get a pair of tickets to the five mainstage shows at Playhouse.
Cincinnati Shakespeare is offering free subscriptions to its preview nights. There will also be a visit to Ensemble Theatre. To apply, contact your school. The first session is Sept. 25. Ensemble Theatre welcomed their new crop of interns at 5 p.m. Monday.
