Chris Gorman Homes Unveils "The Falcon" at HOMEARAMA 2025
Chris Gorman Homes proudly presents The Falcon, its custom show home for HOMEARAMA 2025. This unique residence blends futuristic living with a nostalgic nod to Cincinnati's Star Wars toy legacy, designed for dreamers inspired by sci-fi worlds. The Falcon boasts sleek architecture, integrated smart home systems, and cutting-edge design, paying homage to Kenner Toys, which brought Star Wars action figures to life.
Founder Chris Gorman states the home embodies both Cincinnati's past and the future of residential design. Visitors will experience galactic-inspired aesthetics, next-gen smart home technology (including Josh AI), and observatory nooks perfect for stargazing. The Falcon also prioritizes sustainability, featuring eco-conscious materials, high-performance equipment, and LEED Gold Certification. This high-tech and innovative home invites a new generation to live among the stars.

PRIDE AND PREJUDICE
By Joseph Hanreddy and J. R. Sullivan
Adapted from the novel by Jane Austen
Susan Felder, director

Marriage is an inevitable fact of life for the five Bennet sisters — Jane, Elizabeth, Mary, Kitty, and Lydia. With the family estate passing to their closest male cousin, their only hope to advance in life is to find a rich and single man — and one has just arrived in the form of the very handsome and very well-off Charles Bingley. The kindhearted and beautiful Jane seems poised to make a match, but must contend with her overly zealous mother, his snobbish sister and a slippery social ladder. When Bingley's taciturn friend Fitzwilliam Darcy shows an interest in the opinionated and spirited Elizabeth, the situation becomes more complicated than either of them expect. The fire and wit of Jane Austen's classic 1813 romance shines through in this vibrant new adaptation.

Estimated run time: 2 hours and 15 minutes

The musical that redefined musicals.

One of ETC’s most popular productions returns! Diana Goodman is a suburban mom struggling with bipolar disorder. Her daughter, Natalie, is a stressed-out overachiever ready to snap. And Dan, her exhausted architect husband, is determined to keep everything “normal.” As Diana’s symptoms worsen and effective treatment remains elusive, the Goodmans must finally connect and learn how to see each other for who they truly are. A cathartic and empathetic triumph of contemporary musical theatre, Next to Normal features soaring rock music, unforgettable characters, and a gripping, emotionally resonant story that echoes long after the final note.

Winner of three Tony Awards, including Best Musical Score
Winner of the 2010 Pulitzer Prize for Drama
