The Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park opens its 2010-2011 season with Matthew Lombardo’s “High,” starring movie and stage actress Kathleen Turner who plays the tough-talking and formerly hard-drinking Sister Jamison Connelly.

Ms. Turner is working in a church-sponsored rehab center, when she reluctantly agrees to sponsor a defiant 19-year-old drug user and soon becomes convinced he is keeping a secret that is vital to his recovery. As she struggles to unlock the mystery, she must confront her own beliefs. High explores the universal themes of truth, forgiveness, redemption and human fallibility.

This powerful and gripping adult drama begins previews in the Playhouse’s Robert S. Marx Theatre September 4 and continues through October 2. Tickets to High are on sale August 16. Prices for HIGH range from $25 - $64. Call 421- 3888 or visit www.cincyplay.com.
