New York Adult Entertainment: Playhouse to Get ‘High’ With Kathleen Turner
Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park has been celebrating its year-long 50th season with a remarkable number of premieres. Producing Artistic Director Ed Stern will sustain that commitment to new work with a world premiere to kick off the 2010-11 season in September. High will feature movie and stage actress Kathleen Turner in a drama already designated for a move to Broadway early in 2011.
Turner will star in the three-character show by Matthew Lombardo as tough-talking Sister Jamison Connelly, a reformed drinker working in a church-sponsored rehab center. She is persuaded to sponsor a 19-year-old drug addict and male prostitute but has a tough time breaking through. Her battles with him lead her to question her own beliefs as she struggles with issues of truth, forgiveness, redemption and the courage required to change.
