The Dream of the Astronaut

Local playwright Chip Gambill’s The Dream of the Astronaut opens tonight at the Contemporary Arts Center (CAC) as part of the Cincinnati Fringe Festival.

It has been receiving some favorable notice from local papers, and if this play is as good as his previous efforts, it will be well worth the effort to go see.

"The play involves three stopovers in the journey of a man, which involve encounters with three women," explains Gambill. "And in these encounters we see how the thinkers among us conceive ideals: ideal people, ideal situations. Yet, because they're ideals they never quite get there."

Peter Karapetkov directs The Dream of the Astronaut and it stars actors Nick Rose and Jennifer Dalton. Gambill and Karapetkov have collaborated before when they worked together on a Cincinnati Playwrights Initiative workshop last summer.

If you only attend one play a year, this could very well be the one.
