Day / Weekend Trips from Northern Kentucky: Shows to Check Out this Fall
I just turned down an offer to see Dracula at the Playhouse. I love Dracula. But there’s only so many times I can see it, My Fair Lady or A Christmas Carol. Turning down the show made me wonder what else is playing in theaters this fall. I usually write about day trips, but some of the best shows to see might require a little more travel time.
Day and Weekend Trips from Northern Kentucky: Theater worth a Road Trip:
The Crucible at Chicago’s Steppenwolf Theater Company is getting national attention and might be the best excuse I can come up with for a weekend visiting friends and shopping in the windy city. Not that I ever need much of an excuse to go to Chicago. Does anyone? This is my personal pick for the show to see this year. Get moving while tickets are still available. The Crucible runs through November 11th.
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels was a wonderful movie starring Steve Martin and Michael Caine; the theater version runs at Dayton, Ohio’s Victoria Theatre from September 25th through the 30th.
Cleveland’s Playhouse Square Center is re-running 1964 the Tribute, a stylish salute to the Beatles. Nectar for fans. September 28th.
The Lexington Opera House features the intense courtroom drama Twelve Angry Men October 5th through the 7th.
The state theater of Kentucky, the Actors Theater of Louisville, does Spunk, three tales by the lovely Zora Neale Hurston, promising blues, jazzy dancing and high style- exactly what you’d expect during an evening out in this town. November 13th through December 15th.
The amazing, engaging and brilliant David Sedaris will be at the Palace Theater at CAPA Columbus on October 12th.
Feel free to add a fall show to the list. I try to keep day/weekender blog posts to less than a 5 hour drive from Northern Kentucky, so that leaves a lot of room for road trip ideas!
