TALK

  • World Premiere
  • By Theresa Rebeck
  • Directed by Melisa Annis

September 26 – October 25, 2026

ROSENTHAL SHELTERHOUSE THEATRE

ABOUT THE SHOW

This world premiere delivers biting satire of the current media environment and will no doubt get people talking. Hoping for a ratings boost, the host of a news commentary talk show decides to do a live broadcast. When an unplanned guest is added to the mix of standard talking heads, the conversation goes off the rails, and the show descends into chaos. All political points of view are represented, and all are skewered as this razor-sharp and funny play shines a satirical spotlight on news and dialogue in today’s fast-moving media world. A centerpiece of the inaugural Made in Cincy: New Works Festival, Talk was commissioned by the Playhouse from the award-winning Broadway and Hollywood writer and Cincinnati native Theresa Rebeck.

Praise for Theresa Rebeck:
“Theresa’s intelligence and rapier wit energize every word she writes.” — Jeff Goldblum, actor
