Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park has released Hope, the first installment in its new 10-part video series, "Monologues of Hope," written and performed by professional playwrights and actors based in the Greater Cincinnati region.
"Given the state of the world, we wanted to reach out with a message of hope and resiliency," said Blake Robison, artistic director. "Commissioning these monologues is our way of supporting our talented, local artists and engaging our audiences at the same time."
One new monologue from the video series will be released weekly on the Playhouse's Facebook and Instagram accounts and posted on cincyplay.com. The upcoming monologues, playwrights and actors include:
