THT_Fancy Nancy promoFANCY NANCY THE MUSICAL
Presented by Town Hall Theatre
Jan. 23-Feb. 8
Centerville

Official cast list |

Nancy is super-excited to be dancing in the school recital. That’s a fancy word for concert, by the way! And she’s confident that her off-the-charts audition will land her the role of a shimmering mermaid! But when her friend Bree lands the role instead, Nancy is devastated. It’ll take some imaginative thinking and some helpful advice from her mom and best pals to put the fancy back in FANCY NANCY. Recommended for ages 4 and up.

BCT_Things My Mother Taught MeTHINGS MY MOTHER TAUGHT ME
Presented by Beavercreek Community Theatre
Jan. 23-Feb. 1
Beavercreek

Directed by Jill Proudfout

Cast: Aubrey Strawser as Olivia, Aaron Brewer as Gabe, Jamie McQuinn as Wyatt, Terry Larson as Lydia, Christina Tomazinis as Karen, Steve Strawser as Carter & Andrew Stokely as Max

Olivia and Gabe are moving into their first apartment together. They’ve just packed up all of their belongings and driven halfway across the country, to start a new life together in Chicago. Their moving day doesn’t go exactly as planned, though, and things become slightly more complicated when all of their parents show up to help! Can a two bedroom apartment contain all of the love, laughs, worry and wisdom that’s about to happen? This brand new comedy, from the author of Nana’s Naughty Knickers takes a generational look at relationships, and how sometimes parents are passing their best lessons on to their children without even meaning to. Funny and touching, this one will make you laugh out loud and fall in love all over again.
