DIrEctor's NotEs • 13

direcTOr'S nOTeS“Love is, the journey from your head to your heart.” This refrain is heard over and over again in our production of Cinderella. The core message is that we need to connect within ourselves what we know and what we feel.

In many incarnations of Cinderella, the beauty of Cinderella was sincere as to her character and her appearance. Our Cinderella wears converse shoes, glasses, and loves hanging out in the garden with a toad, a spider, and a crow. She is not on the path to becoming a princess. I love the connective phrase of “the essence of true beauty lies, beyond what’s seen by normal eyes,” which both Cinderella and Prince Freddy find fascinating. They begin to live that mantra without even knowing it. Bespeckaled and book-bound, the two of them need to learn to look with their heart as they connect with their mind’s eye.

ETC breathes that same mantra daily. We saw beauty in Over-the-Rhine before many of our now neighbors did. We rejoiced in presenting new work in an historic building and gradually with patience and tenacity, claimed 40% of this Vine Street block. Like Cinderella we were not tempted by fashionable glass. Instead of replacing we are repairing and living in these spaces, which hold a historical heart. It’s not easy, but it is beautiful. Where we are is who we are.

Every show in our 30th anniversary season was selected for a specific reason. Cinderella tells us it is necessary to make good decisions, good choices and if one does so, a little bit of magic will find us. We find the energy to change from inside ourselves. And change ETC has. We have become the theatre we are today by building on our strengths and attracting audiences like you, who make our visions a reality. You make magic happen with your presence. We are still on the journey, that’s part of the joy. With any luck, the journey never ends.

A non-denominational, multi-generational musical for the holidays brings together families and friends to celebrate tradition and make some new ones within these walls. It’s no secret that it is my favorite time of year. From the 1,200 children who will see this show through the Fairy Godmother program, to the over 1,200 people who will see this show each week of its run, the power of people sharing this tale of inner beauty is palpable.

I thank you for making us part of your holiday season and wish you great joy in the New Year. May every step you take be a journey of the heart and may every day be beautiful. I wish you well!

-D. Lynn Meyers, Director

The caSTMicHAEL g. BATH (King Frederick) appeared most recently in ETC's The Other Place, Sleeping Beauty, and Hands on a Hardbody. His other favorite ETC roles include those in Opus, The Exonerated, Mauritius, Becky’s New Car, My Name is Asher Lev, Next Fall, and End Days. He was also seen as Mervyn in A Behanding in Spokane (Clifton Performance Theatre) and Roy Cohn in Angels in America Parts One & Two (Know Theatre), among others. He also teaches acting and

improvisation for Playhouse in the Park and Afterschool Acting. He is a Wilmington College graduate and a proud member of Actors’ Equity Association. Much love to his wife Trish and dog Obi.

KEnDRA BEiTzEL (Aristotle the Crow) is beyond excited to be a part of the Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati’s Acting Apprentice Program. She received her Bachelor of Arts from Bowling Green State University. Some of her credits include Clybourne Park and The Seagull at Bowling Green State University and The Drunken City with Broken Spectacle Productions.

DARnELL PiERRE BEnJAMin (Gastón) is ecstatic about another jolly trot through the holiday season with Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati. Previously at ETC, he appeared as Sly in Detroit '67 and as The Elephant Owner in Around the World in 80 Days. Some of his favorite, past productions are Titus Andronicus, To Kill a Mockingbird, Cock, Angels in America, Othello, Taming of the Shrew, and A Raisin in the Sun, all at theaters in the region. In 2013, he won Michigan's Wilde

Award “Best of the Bard,” for his performance as Mercutio in Romeo and Juliet at Hope Summer Repertory Theatre. Along with being a member of Pones, Inc. and Queen City Queer Theatre Collective, Mr. Benjamin spends his time off-stage teaching Shakespeare and dance to students in the Tri-state area. Enjoy the show!

The caST cOnT.LAUREn BoWLER (Plato the Toad) is ecstatic to be working with Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati during their thirtieth anniversary season. She is a current member of ETC’s Acting Apprentice Program. Earlier this year, she served as an understudy for Luna Gale (Cindy). Ms. Bowler hails from Texas, where she studied at West Texas A&M University and is a senior at Stephen F. Austin State University where she is completing her BFA in Theatre Performance. Some of

Ms. Bowler’s favorite credits include, Iphigenia 2.0 (Iphigenia, Irene Ryan Nomination), Almost, Maine (Woman 1), Blood Wedding (Beggar Woman), and August: Osage County (Ivy Weston). Ms. Bowler would like to thank D. Lynn Meyers and Shannon Rae Lutz for this wonderful year of opportunities and her family for their continuous love and support.

WARREn BRYSon (Prince Frederick) is a proud graduate of NKU where he studied acting. He is very happy to be making his ETC debut, allowing him to work with an amazing group of artists. If he looks familiar it's probably because you saw him in something else... or because he asked you for money on the street. You also may be mistaking him for Ryan Gosling–it happens ALL the time. He would like to extend a big thanks to Lynn and the whole Ensemble family for their

genuine warmth along with their dedication to the arts in Cincinnati. And to Mollie, his beautiful wife: "Thank you for being an inspiration. I love you!" Happy Holidays!

DEB g. giRDLER (Brunhilda) began her career on the Showboat Majestic, attended UC’s College-Conservatory of Music, and has worked Off-Broadway, in regional theatre, and in summer stock for over forty years. Some of her favorite productions have been presented here at Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati, including Good People, The Last Session, Three Tall Women, Three Viewings, and, of course, being the villainess in a multitude of holiday productions. Ms. Girdler is a Kentucky

Colonel, proud citizen of Westwood, and is always grateful to be able to work in Cincinnati, since she suffers from home-sickness whenever her work takes her away from home. She is listed in the official scripts of several shows as a cast member of the premiere productions, including the stage version of Rogers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella, Hoodwinked! The Musical, and It Runs in the Family by Ray Cooney.

In addition to the small screen, short films, and web skits, she has had the great pleasure of touring to theatres across the country, but for now prefers to make Cincinnati her home. What a thriving community to which we belong! Thank you for supporting live professional theatre. Much gratitude to Lynn and love to Michael.

Beechmont Players; A Theatrical Exhibition, Bulgaria; The Artful Dodger in Oliver!; and Cinema Bulgaran, Bulgaria, Poland.
