DEATH DEFYING ACTS runs Oct. 6-14

DEATH DEFYING ACTS
Presented by Stagecrafters Inc.
Oct. 6-14
Sharonville

Directed by Cynthia Emmer

This long-running Off Broadway hit features the work of three gifted playwrights. David Mamet’s AN INTERVIEW is an oblique, mystifying interrogation. A sleazy lawyer is forced to answer difficult questions and to admit the truth about his life and career. In HOTLINE by Elaine May, a neurotic woman with enough urban angst to fill a neighborhood calls a suicide crisis hotline late one night. The counselor who gets the call is overwhelmed – it is his first night on the job. In Woody Allen’s CENTRAL PARK WEST”, a well-to-do psychiatrist has just discovered that her best friend is having an affair with her husband. She has invited the friend over for a confrontation after getting thoroughly soused. Meanwhile, the husband is about to run off with a college student.

SEUSSICAL runs Oct. 5-7

SEUSSICAL
Presented by Acting Up
Oct. 5-7
Mason

Directed by Joey Schnell with Brent Peebles
Vocal direction by Carrie Classen & Amy Hall
Choreographed by Megan Kelly
Produced by Becky Corstanje & Amy Frankel with Danielle Campbell

The story centers around Horton the Elephant, who finds himself faced with a double challenge–not only must he protect his tiny friend Jojo (and all the invisible Whos) from a world of naysayers and dangers, but he must guard an abandoned egg, left to his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird. Although Horton faces ridicule, danger, kidnapping and a trial, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him, the only one who recognizes “his kind and his powerful heart.” Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community are challenged and emerge triumphant, in a story that makes you laugh and cry.
