Presented by The Drama Workshop

Cheviot

Directed by Ray Persing

Cast: Nate Netzley as Brian Dowd & Bonnie Emmer as Beth Finnegan

Brian Dowd has spent the last 10 years of his life wrestling with an unrequited “something” for his best friend’s sister, who happens to live next door. But each and every time he’s spoken with Beth Finnegan for more than 30 seconds, he’s ended up with his foot planted firmly in his mouth. Now, Brian’s time is about to run out. With recent news that Jerry Finnegan’s sister is getting married, the time has come for him to put up or shut up. This highly acclaimed comedy has charmed audiences of all ages, and has enough chuckles, guffaws and belly laughs to please any theatre patron.

SHREK THE MUSICAL Runs Jan. 15-27

VTA_Shrek the MusicalSHREK THE MUSICAL
Presented by Victoria Theatre Association
Jan. 15-27
Dayton

Reviews: Dayton Examiner | Dayton Most Metro |

Local media coverage: Journal-News article | Dayton Daily News article |

SHREK THE MUSICAL, based on the Oscar®-winning DreamWorks film that started it all, brings the hilarious story of everyone’s favorite ogre to life on stage. 
In a faraway kingdom turned upside down, things get ugly when an unseemly ogre–not a handsome prince–shows up to rescue a feisty princess. Throw in a donkey who won’t shut up, a villain with a SHORT temper, a cookie with an attitude and over a dozen other fairy tale misfits, and you’ve got the kind of mess that calls for a real hero. Luckily, there’s one on hand…and his name is Shrek. Featuring a terrific score of 19 all-new songs, big laughs, great dancing and breathtaking scenery, WWOR-TV proclaims SHREK THE MUSICAL “far, far and away the funniest new musical on Broadway!” SHREK THE MUSICAL is part romance, part twisted fairy tale and all irreverent fun for everyone!
