ART OF MURDER
Presented by the Showboat Majestic

Downtown

A scintillating hit with thrills and chills and some wonderful humor. It will have you laughing and guessing who is to be murdered and who is the murderer. With his usual flair for the outrageous, a sure knowledge of artistic egos and an understanding of the mystery genre as certain as his skill at comedy, Mr. DiPietro has created an insular world in which greed and vengeance and personal recognition are free to play with the sanity and the lives of everyone involved.

Directed by Elizabeth Harris
Cast: Brandon Wentz as Jack Brooks, Leah Strasser as Annie Brooks, Mike Hall as Vincent Cummings & Molly Massa as Kate.

INTO THE WOODS runs Aug. 12-21

INTO THE WOODS
Presented by Playhouse South
Aug. 12-21
Springboro

An ambivalent Cinderella? A blood-thirsty Little Red Ridinghood? A Prince Charming with a roving eye? A Witch…who raps? They’re all among the cockeyed characters in James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim’s fractured fairy tale. When a Baker and his Wife learn they’ve been cursed with childlessness by the Witch next door, they embark on a quest for the special objects required to break the spell, swindling, lying to and stealing from Cinderella, Little Red, Rapunzel and Jack (the one who climbed the beanstalk). Everyone’s wish is granted at the end of Act One, but the consequences of their actions return to haunt them later, with disastrous results. What begins a lively irreverent fantasy in the style of “The Princess Bride” becomes a moving lesson about community responsibility and the stories we tell our children.
