Panelists for the League of Cincinnati Theatres (LCT) have recognized Cincinnati New Edgecliff“™s Bus Stop with a 4 Star Rating.

In Bus Stop, five weary travelers are stranded at a roadside diner when a winter snowstorm halts their bus. Friendships and romances ensue.

Panelists praised Bus Stop as “œa solid opening production by New Edgecliff of a wonderful Inge classic. Nicely directed and designed with a talented cast of local actors“; “œa really good show with relatable characters, a strong cast that made me laugh out loud, and think.“ Christine Dye“™s portrayal of Grace was singled out; she was “œa hoot! Her timing and delivery was on point and she was so natural and at ease with her character.“ Robert Allen was also applauded for his role as Dr. Lyman: “œAs a basically unlikeable character, he could have been almost a caricature, but in Bob Allen’s capable hands, he showed remorse and a self-awareness that made him almost sympathetic.“

Bus Stop continues through September 28th. Tickets can be purchased at http://www.newedgecliff.com.

League of Cincinnati Theatre panelists evaluate productions on a 5 star scale and recommend shows at either a 4 star or 5 star level. Nominations for LCT awards will be determined and announced at the end of the season and winners awarded at the annual LCT gala in the spring.
