DEADLY MURDER runs April 12-14

DEADLY MURDER
Presented by Middletown Lyric Theatre
April 12-14
Middletown

Posted March 27th
Middletown Lyric Theatre has been forced to cancel due to an actor leaving the production to pursue other opportunities. The Board of Director’s felt there was not enough time to replace the actor and have adequate rehearsal time to produce a quality production. The theatre’s next production “Becky’s New Car,” scheduled for May 17th – 19th will go on as planned. A letter will be sent to Season Ticket holders this week informing them of the change.

Camille Dargus has fought her way up from humble beginnings to a glittering Manhattan lifestyle. She has beauty, brains, wealth and a successful career as a jewelry designer for the leading lights of New York society. She also has a penchant for young men. Enter Billy, a handsome young waiter, who she brings back to her Soho apartment one evening. But there’s more to Billy than meets the eye. Camille must use all her wits and cunning to save her life – to prevent the dark secrets of her past from destroying everything she has worked for.

BCT Announces Line-Up for 2012-2013 Season

Beavercreek Community Theatre has announced the line-up for its 2012-2013 season. 

The 2012-2013 season opens Sept. 7 with MUSICAL CHAIRS directed by Matt Owens. Joe Preston hasn’t had a hit in years and he’s hoping that his new play will revive his career but he’s at the mercy of an off Broadway audience of unique and challenging patrons. Auditions are July 9 and 10.

THE SUGAR BEAN SISTERS, directed by Doug Lloyd, opens Oct. 26, featuring the Nettle sisters of Sugar Bean, Florida. Their determination to escape spinsterhood includes a diabolical plot to ensure the return of space people they witnessed years before. Auditions are August 20 and 21.

ON CHRISTMAS DAY IN THE MORNING, will be presented by the BCT Youth Theatre, under the direction of Teresa Connair, opening on Nov. 30. Lucy James has been adopted from the orphanage seven times in the past year and each time she’s come back. The orphanage is facing possible closure. Both find what they’re looking for through a motley group of travelers. Auditions are October 16 and 17.

STEPPIN’ OUT, directed by John Falkenbach, opens Jan. 25. It’s a rollicking comedy about some working class amateurs trying to overcome their inhibitions and their two left feet in a low-rent dance studio in North London. Auditions are November 26 and 27.

A CHORUS LINE, directed by Doug Lloyd, will open on March 1. The musical follows a chorus audition for a Broadway musical and the achingly poignant ambitions of professional Broadway gypsies to land a job in the show. Auditions are January 7 and 8.

THE CANTERBURY TALES (or GEOFFREY CHAUCER’S FLYING CIRCUS) be presented by the BCT Youth Theatre. Directed by Teresa Connair, it will open on April 19. The show is a mix of Chaucer’s literary masterpiece and a good helping of Monty Python-style humor, resulting in an incredibly silly comedy. Auditions are March 5 and 6.

LEGALLY BLONDE THE MUSICAL, directed by Chris Harmon, will open on June 21. Sorority star Elle Woods doesn’t take “no” for an answer when her boyfriend dumps her for someone “serious.” She decides to get serious by putting down her credit card and hitting the books with a lofty goal – Harvard Law School. Auditions are April 8 and 9.

THE SUGAR BEAN SISTERS and A CHORUS LINE are Edge of the Creek productions, which means they are aimed for adult audiences due to mature language and/or situations.

Shows are presented for two consecutive weekends with Friday and Saturday night performances and Sunday matinees.
