BCT Presents STEPPING OUT

The cast of STEPPING OUT rehearse at Beavercreek Community Theatre

The cast of STEPPING OUT rehearse at Beavercreek Community Theatre

When Beavercreek Community Theatre presents STEPPING OUT, the audience can expect to see some bad dancing.

It’s not that there is a flaw in the show or a lack of talent on the part of the cast; it is just part of the script.

Under the direction of John Falkenbach of Dayton, the cast will present STEPPING OUT from January 25 through February 3, with 8 p.m. performances on Fridays and Saturdays and 3 p.m. on Sundays.

It is a rollicking comedy about the attempts of some working class amateurs to overcome their inhibitions and two left feet in a low-rent dance studio in North London.

Mavis, a former professional chorus girl, played by Nancy Albert of Bellbrook, tries her hardest to teach the bumbling amateurs some dancing skills for an upcoming recital. But before the dancing begins, Mavis must mediate the minor dramas that erupt among this motley but loveable crew on their way to triumph at their recital.

Her students are portrayed by Crystal Schultz and Stephanie Radford of Beavercreek; Scott Kajihara of West Carrollton; Arizona Craycraft of Springboro; Joy Quarmiley of Kettering and Dayton residents Angela Carigl, Rhiannon Hipshire, Donna Cason and Rachel Mielke.

Tickets are $13 for adults and $11 for students, BCT members and seniors, ages 55 and older. A group discount of $1 per ticket is available to groups of 10 or more when the tickets are purchased at the same time for the same performance.

Tickets can be reserved by calling 429-4737 and leaving a message or by emailing boxoffice@bctheatre.org. For more information, visit the theater’s Web site at www.bctheatre.org, where the tickets can be purchased online with a credit card.

Beavercreek Community Theatre is located within the Lofino Adult Enrichment and Cultural Arts Center at 3868 Dayton-Xenia Road in Beavercreek.

THE RED VELVET CAKE WAR Runs Feb. 14-17

GHCT_Red Velvet Cakes WarTHE RED VELVET CAKE WAR
Presented by Greater Hamilton Civic Theatre
Feb. 14-17
Hamilton

Directed by Rhonda Lucas
​Produced by Brett Sandlin

Cast: Petty Cash as Cee Cee Windham, Julie Joyce Smith as Gaynelle Verdeen, Lynn Minges as Lamerle Minshew, Dick Gentry as Aubrey Verdeen, Maggie Macgregor as Jimmie Wyvette Verdeen, Beth McClain as Peaches Verdeen Belrose, Megan Demoret as Bitsy Hargis , Sharon Einhorn as Elsa Dowdall, Linda Hurley as Mama Doll Hargis, Joey Schnell as Newt Blaylock, Justyn Rampa as Sheriff Grover Lout & Adam Blount as Purvis Verdeen

In this riotously funny Southern-fried comedy, the three Verdeen cousins—Gaynelle, Peaches and Jimmie Wyvette—could not have picked a worse time to throw their family reunion. As a parade of wildly eccentric Verdeens gather on the hottest day of July, smack-dab in the middle of Texas tornado season, things spin hilariously out of control when a neighbor’s pet devours everything edible, a one-eyed suitor shows up to declare his love and a jaw-dropping high-stakes wager is made on who bakes the best red velvet cake. As this fast-paced romp barrels toward its uproarious climax, you’ll wish your own family reunions were this much fun!

  • Thu-Sat, Feb. 14-16 at 8pm

TCP Returns to Sharonville Fine Arts Center with RUN FOR YOUR WIFE

Mary Ann Smith as Barbara Smith, Alan Kotser as John Smith & Peggy Allen as Mary Smith.

Mary Ann Smith as Barbara Smith, Alan Kotser as John Smith & Peggy Allen as Mary Smith.

Tri-County Players returns to the Sharonville Fine Art Center stage with a hilarious, laugh out loud adult British Farce – RUN FOR YOUR WIFE by Ray Cooney. Mary Benken is the director.

The author, Ray Cooney is a recognized master of comedy, and has written twenty stage comedies, which have been performed all over the world and translated into forty different languages. RUN FOR YOUR WIFE ran for over eight years on the London stage, and will be released in England as a movie in February 2013.

The play tells the story of John, a London taxi driver married to two wives in different parts of London. Things go well until he rescues an elderly woman from muggers and winds up in the hospital, threatening his exposure. Things get a little crazy when neighbor Stanley, who knows the truth, tries to “help” and makes matters worse. Add two police detectives, one sexually charged wife, one play-by-the-rules wife, and a gay dressmaker and you have the elements of chaos, double entendre and innuendo.

The show opens on Friday Jan. 25th, and continues on the 26th, Feb. 1 and 2nd at 8 pm. There is a matinee on Sunday Jan. 27th at 3 pm which is signed for the Hearing Impaired.

Tickets can be reserved by calling the TCP Ticket Line at 513.471.2030. Ticket prices are $12 for adults, and $10 for seniors and students.
