Panelists for the League of Cincinnati Theatres (LCT) have recognized lead actors Christine Dye and Mike Dennis from Showboat“™s Don“™t Drink the Water for their excellent performances.-

In this cold-war comedy by Woody Allen, an American tourist and his family are taken for spies in a county behind the Iron Curtain and must be protected by the US ambassador“™s bumbling son who is running the embassy.

Panelists praised the performances of Christine Dye and Mike Dennis, as the tourists,  Marion and Walter Hollander: they “œcarried the play into its best moments“¦Both showed great comic timing in the machine-gun fire dialogue of Woody Allen“¦Their on-stage chemistry was great and made me feel like I was back home in Jersey.“

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.
