Sept. 27-Oct. 1
Studio 88 Theatre [Oxford]

Directed by Saffron Henke

Meet the staff at The Flick, a run-down movie theatre in New England. Sam has a thing for Rose, but she’s not much interested. Rose is drawn to newcomer Avery, who finds the movies a perfect escape from life. Sometimes funny, sometimes poignant, this Pulitzer prize-winning play explores the boundaries of class and race as the characters search for connection in the face of change.

MR. JOY
Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park
Sept. 23-Oct. 22
Shelterhouse Theatre [Eden Park]

Directed by Nicole A . Watson

Performed by Debra Walton

What happened to Mr. Joy? A Harlem community is shaken when Mr. Joy, a Chinese immigrant whose shoe repair shop has been a neighborhood pillar for decades, is the victim of a sudden and violent attack. Through the lens of nine of Mr. Joy’s customers – all brought to life by one actress – we learn the subtly profound and unassuming impact the shop owner has had on each of their lives. Poignant, thoughtful and stirring, Mr. Joy invites you to celebrate the power of the invisible ties that bind us all. Written by Playhouse favorite and Dayton native Daniel Beaty! MR. JOY is appropriate for adults and older teenagers. The show is a depiction of individual hardships in an inner-city community of Harlem, New York, and contains adult language and realistic narratives describing violence.

Corbett Theatre [Highland Heights]

Magic and laughter are on the loose in Shakespeare’s most popular and enduring play, A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM. The enchanting comedy follows four young lovers as they find their way through the forest and to each other. But as Lysander says “the course of true love never did run smooth.” Gods mix with mortals, a feuding king and queen unleash magical practical jokes on one another, spells yield improbable love affairs and a band of comical tradesmen wander into the enchanted wood and are transformed in the most unlikely of ways. Full of madcap chases and mistaken identities, A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM is an exploration of the mystery, madness, and power of love.

Set deep in a Florida swamp, The Arsonists is a father-daughter tale of grief, loss and redemption.
