community outreach at cincinnati playhouse in the park
Marx Theatre — Presented as part of the Rosenthal Next Generation Theatre Series. A comic battle ensues when a French chef, set to open a new restaurant, finds himself thwarted by the main course, a mischievous lobster staging a hilarious rebellion. A few unruly vegetables and young audience participants spice up the action. Set to live accordion music, In a Fool's Kitchen takes a recipe of zany puppets and clowns and combines them with riotous acts of imagination and playful audience interaction to create a feast of pure fun. Recommended for ages 4 and up.

11:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.
Creative Dramatics for Children
Ongoing session of acting games and exercises. Recommended for ages 4 to 12.

12:30 p.m., 1:30 p.m., 2:30 p.m. and 3:30 pm
Scene Shop Tours – This special tour will be a behind-the-scenes visit to see how sets are built, painted and decorated at the Playhouse. The scene shop is located at 2827 Gilbert Avenue, across from Thomson MacConnell Cadillac. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Offered only at Sampler Weekend!

The Saturdays include Feb. 11, Feb. 25 and March 10. To find events in your neighborhood, visit www.theartswave.org.
