Bart's Bards is St. Bartholomew's amateur theatrical ministry. Its purpose is "to promote Christian fellowship through the performing arts." The group consists of a commission of parishioners and non-parishioners, with backgrounds in producing and directing plays. The Bards currently produce one big show a year, usually during the summer, and usually a musical. For information contact Joy Niehaus at (513) 245-1620. We encourage you to join us for worship if you are looking for a home church. Visit www.estbarts.org for location and mass times. |

Seussical was a smash hit as audiences enjoyed a journey to Whoville with The Cat in the Hat, Horton, JoJo, and all the Seussian gang. We hope that all five audiences enjoyed the show as much as we enjoyed putting it on!
Fiddler on the Roof was a very traditional smash hit! Thanks to all the cast and crew for their hard work; and of course, all five audiences, without whom, there would be no show. L'chaim!
