Two seniors bond over their shared affection for animals in this warm, gentle and offbeat Irish love story. Betty spends most of her time alone, when she’s not acting as a caregiver to her friend or her 19 cats. Still grieving for the love of his life, Dan finds his most faithful friend is his trusty dog, Chapatti. When their paths cross unexpectedly, these two lonely hearts find their lives and expectations for the future change in surprising ways as they rediscover the joy that comes with human companionship.

Performances continue through March 8. For more information click here.

Walton Creek Theatre
4101 Walton Creek Road, Cincinnati, Ohio 45227

Saturday, March 14, 2015, 10:00 am-1:00 pm

So what does a producer in community theatre really do since they don’t put up the money? Do you think you have the makings of a great stage manager but aren’t sure? Join two leaders experienced in these jobs as they provide their insights and tools on both producing and stage managing in community theatre.  Part lecture, part Q & A, a few stories and a packet of helpful handouts will enlighten you on two roles which can be very satisfying.

MPI is providing this workshop free of charge for current paid members of the group.  If you are not a member, you can purchase an annual membership the day of the workshop for $20.  MPI will offer other member workshops throughout the year in a variety of subject areas related to the production of theatre.

RSVP to Traci Taylor, Membership Chair at tracit1@live.com with your name, phone number and e-mail address.  Please include your goal for attending so we can make the most of your experience.

DPH_Fix Me Jesus logoFIX ME, JESUS
Presented by Dayton Playhouse
March 13-22
Dayton

Directed by Brian Sharp

Cast: Rachel Wilson as Annabell, Sofia Shannon as Young Annabell, Tina McPhearson as Mrs. Craig, Cassandra Engber as Mother, Pam McGinnis as Grandmother & Mike Beerbower as Dr. Feld

In a Neiman Marcus changing room in Dallas, on the most important day of her life, Annabell Armstrong frantically searches for the perfect dress. A rising star in the Texas Democratic Party, Annabell is trapped in the Reagan eighties. Her political career, love affair, finances, and family relations are in crisis; and strong-minded characters from her past begin to appear from behind the changing room mirror. FIX ME, JESUS is a dark comedy—the hilarious, timely, and poignant story of a woman who finds herself at the epicenter of history and politics, struggling for personal independence and social justice against the lifelong theft of her own power.

GRACE On March 8

UP_GraceGRACE
Presented by Unity Productions
March 8
Over-the-Rhine

Cast: Zak Slemmer as Sam, Harper Lee as Sara, William H. Chance as Steve, Michael Burnham as Karl & Jon Kovach, stage directions

Barebones Staged Reading

Steve and Sara have relocated to Sunrise, Florida to pursue an unbelievably wonderful business deal, but as the deal slowly unravels and Steve finds himself afflicted with an itch that just won’t stop, Sara finds herself increasingly drawn to their next-door neighbor, Sam, a badly-scarred victim of a recent car accident who wants nothing to do with her or her Bible-quoting husband. In the end, with a little help from an old German exterminator who’s still angry about the Allied bombing of Hamburg in World War II, all three characters are confronted by a world that’s both better and worse than any religion can justify.
