Haunted Murder Mystery Dinner
Presented by Newport Syndicate at Newport Syndicate Newport, KY
For as long as the Gangsters Speakeasy has stood, whispers of the supernatural have lingered in its walls. Guests and staff alike have spoken of strange chills, disembodied voices, and ghostly footsteps echoing through the darkened hallways beneath the main floor. The most enduring tale is that of a young woman known only as Clara—a spectral figure said to drift silently through the shadows. No one knows her true name, but many claim to have seen her presence or felt her watchful gaze. Recently, an old journal believed to belong to Clara herself was unearthed. Its pages hint at the secrets of her fate, and perhaps even point to a hidden mystery still buried within the Speakeasy’s past. To this day, Clara’s spirit may hold the key to uncovering the truth behind Gangster’s Speakeasy most haunting legend. Hosted by Jonathan Carlisle.

Carrie
Presented by The Carnegie at The Carnegie Covington, KY
A co-production of The Carnegie and University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music From the twisted imagination of Stephen King comes a tale of terror, power, and teenage rage like no other. CARRIE: THE MUSICAL thrusts you into the world of Carrie White — the shy outsider bullied at school and tormented at home by her fanatically religious mother. But when she discovers a strange new power, the tables turn… and the results are explosive. Fueled by a driving rock score and raw, emotional intensity, this cult classic crackles with fear, fury, and fire — until everything ignites. Bold, bloody, and utterly unforgettable, it’s a night at the theatre you won’t escape unscathed. This project is supported by the generosity of tens of thousands of contributors to the annual ArtsWave Campaign, the Cincinnati region's primary source for arts funding.

Over the last 25 years, Andrew McMahon has successfully experienced musical rebirth many times and consistently arrived on the other side stronger than ever. A child prodigy who was born and raised on the East Coast before moving to Southern California as a teenager, McMahon began stunning classmates and teachers with his ability to connect through song at an early age. By 1998, he co-founded the pop-punk outfit Something Corporate while in high school, serving as singer, pianist, and songwriter, and leading the band to major chart success in the early 2000s with Leaving Through the Window and North. Soon after, McMahon resurfaced in 2005 with the deeply personal solo project Jack’s Mannequin, releasing three acclaimed studio albums, including the Gold-certified Everything in Transit and two subsequent Billboard Top 10 albums, The Glass Passenger and People and Things. In 2014, McMahon released his debut album under his own name and new moniker, Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness, featuring the breakout Top 5 Alternative radio single “Cecilia and the Satellite.” He followed with the hook-packed Wilderness albums like Zombies on Broadway, which featured another Top 5 single, “Fire Escape,” “Upside Down Flowers,” and “Tilt at the Wind No More.” Across his three projects, McMahon has sold nearly 2.5 million albums, surpassed 1.3 billion streams, performed at major festivals including Coachella, Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, and Austin City Limits, and toured alongside the likes of Weezer, Panic! at the Disco, Gavin DeGraw, Dashboard Confessional, and even his idol, Billy Joel.
