Village Players of Fort Thomas Invites You to Attend THE UNVARNISHED TRUTH

VP_The Unvarnished Truth logoThe Village Players of Fort Thomas presents THE UNVARNISHED TRUTH by Royce Ryton, December 1-9, 2017. Village Players is located on the lower level of the Ft. Thomas Woman’s Club, 8 North Ft. Thomas Ave, Ft. Thomas, KY 41075.

Tom and Annabel are a reasonably happy married couple. One evening they have an argument as to who loves the other most. A rough and tumble ensues, and Tom discovers to his horror that Annabel is dead. So, starts a hectic evening of black humor which also involves Tom’s policeman friend and his literary agent. It seems no woman can enter the house without rapidly becoming deceased. Annabel’s mother and Tom’s appalling landlady soon follow and disposal of the bodies becomes an acute problem. The arrival of a police inspector complicates matters when a subsequent death involves him too. The hysterically funny ending finds the stage littered with female corpses, frantic males and a potential fifth victim banging on the door.

THE UNVARNISHED TRUTH is directed by Steve Phelan, produced by Barbara Alenduff and features the talents of Richard Zenk, Eric Day, Bert Bathiany, Vern Burns, Geri Campbell, Jennifer Keith, Valeria Amburgey and Angela Klocke Forbes

Auditions Announced for STELLA AND LOU at Dayton Theatre Guild

DTGOpen audition notice for STELLA AND LOU by Bruce Graham

Lou’s South Philadelphia bar is the kind of place where the same faces sit on the same barstools seven nights a week, drowning their sorrows into countless mugs of beer. Lou is happy to run the place and enjoy time with Stella when she stops in. But Stella has decided they need to take the next step in their relationship — or she’s moving to Florida. This funny, wise, and tender story is a mid-life portrait of friendship, and maybe more. At the play’s premiere at Chicago’s Northlight Theatre in 2013, it was cheered by critics for its humor and honesty.

Cast Announced for TRIBES at CenterStage Players

CSPOH_logoCenterStage Players and director, Richard Zenk, are pleased to announce the cast of TRIBES. It is with great pride that the production will include deaf and hard of hearing actors in the roles of Billy and Sylvia.  The production will run March 23-31, 2018.

The play focuses on a comically dysfunctional family, made up of the parents Beth and Christopher and three grown children living at home, Daniel, Ruth and Billy, the last of whom is deaf, raised to read lips and speak but without knowledge of sign language. When Billy meets Sylvia, a hearing woman born to deaf parents who is now slowly going deaf herself, ​the interaction with her (including her teaching him sign language) reveals some of the languages, beliefs, and hierarchies of the family and the “extended family” of the deaf community.

CAST

  • Billy – Ben Wright
  • Sylvia – Emma Kreiner
  • Christopher – Alan Kootsher
  • Beth – Kathleen Labanz
  • Ruth – Allie Dalton
  • Daniel – TBA

Actors interested in auditioning for Daniel can contact the director at richardjoseph@gmail.com.

Daniel (stage age 20-35) ​​is Billy and Ruth’s brother, a pothead, emotional, and uncomfortable with change. He has always defined himself in reference to being Billy’s big brother. Once Billy starts to find himself, Daniel is unable to cope with the loss and his depression and childhood stutter return. ​
