Last fall, Liberty Exhibition Hall, a century-old vaudeville theater, came back to life with a production of an unusual drama about three women with a common thread: Each was married to George Joseph Smith… and each is dead.
In The Drowning Girls, They surface from bathtubs where they were drowned to compare notes about their womanizing, murderous husband. The unusual show about misconceptions of love, married life and the not-so-happily ever after wasn’t seen by many Cincinnati theatergoers. It’s back with its original cast — Mindy Heithaus, Eileen Earnest and Carol Brammer — for a one-week return engagement.
Full of social critique, rich images, lyrical language and memorable characters, this is a performance worth catching.
Through Aug. 27. $25; $15 senior/student. Clifton Players at Liberty Exhibition Hall, 3838 Spring Grove Ave., Northside, cliftonperformancetheatre.com.
