Productions dates are Nov. 5-14.

Robbie Hart: (age 25-35) The lead singer of the band. Handsome and charismatic. A truly nice guy that has the classic lead singer aura and personality. Also a bit of a dreamer. In love with love until Linda leaves him at the altar and breaks his heart. Guitar playing would be welcome. B3-C6

Sammy: (age 25–35) The bass player in the wedding band and one of Robbie’s best friends. A total guy’s guy, but beneath his pretending to love being a bachelor but he is actually in love with Holly. C4-A5

George: (age 25-35) The wedding band’s keyboardist and one of Robbie’s best friends. He is sensitive and somewhat flamboyant. The foil to Sammy’s super guy attitude. C4-A5

Julia Sullivan: (Age 25-35) Waitress. The pretty girl next door in looks and personality. Engaged to Glen but falls in love with Robbie and is conflicted as to who to choose. Empathetic, caring and brave. G3-F5

Holly: (Age 25-35) Julia’s cousin. Sexually promiscuous and always up for a good time, but wants to be loved and is looking for romantic fulfillment in all the wrong places. She is in love with Sammy.

Glen Guglia: (age 30-45) Julia’s fiance. A Wall Street broker. He is rich, shallow, and materialistic. Constantly tries to buy Julia’s love with money. He is a bit of a womanizer. D4-B5

Rosie: (age 60-80) Robbie’s grandmother who raised him. Motherly but adventurous and always trying to remain “hip” despite her age. C4-C5

Linda: (age 25-35) Robbie’s fiance who leaves him at the altar. Keeps Robbie around as a back-up plan. Is more in love with the idea of being a rock star than she actually is with Robbie. A3-D5

Ensemble (10-12) will include featured dancers and non-dancers; multiple ages, ethnicities

THE LAST FIVE YEARS Runs Oct. 1-9

VP_The Last Five Years logoTHE LAST FIVE YEARS
Village Players
Oct. 1-9
[Fort Thomas]

Directed by Nathan Henegar
Music/Vocal Direction by Allen Lindsey
Produced by Jen Fischer Davis

Cast: Amanda Marasch as Cathy & Jon Scheiding as Jamie

An emotionally powerful and intimate musical about two New Yorkers in their twenties who fall in and out of love over the course of five years, the show’s unconventional structure consists of Cathy, the woman, telling her story backwards while Jamie, the man, tells his story chronologically; the two characters only meet once, at their wedding in the middle of the show.

9/24/21 Covid Policy (scroll down): Effective immediately, and in concordance with guidelines issued by the State of Kentucky, Village Players will require masking for patrons and crew regardless of vaccination or test-result status for all live performances until further notice. Concessions will be limited to bottled water, though patrons may bring covered, outside snacks (non-alcoholic) to enjoy outside of the performance space before the show and during intermission.
Masks must be worn correctly, covering both the mouth and nose, while inside the building and during the entirety of each performance. Village Players reserves the right to revoke admission to any performance at any point for lack of adherence to this policy. Our first priority is the safety and well-being of our cast, crew, volunteers, and patrons.  
Note: Always verify the latest policy changes before attendance.

THE ODD COUPLE Female Version Runs Sept. 30-Oct. 16

FLI_The Odd Couple FV logoTHE ODD COUPLE Female Version
Footligthers, Inc.
Sept. 30-Oct. 16
[Newport]

Directed by Tom Peters
Produced by Cathy Lutts & Freida Houck

Cast: Jen Drake as Olive, Stefanie Adams as Florence, Mary Stone as Mickey, Elizabeth Hickerson as Vera, Stephanie Klein as Sylvie, Jessie Faye as Renee, Adam Drake as Manolo & Jeff Richardson as Jesus

Neil Simon’s revision of his hugely successful play, The Odd Couple, sees the lead characters transformed into Olive Madison and Florence Unger. Olive and their group of girlfriends are enjoying their weekly Trivial Pursuit night in Olive’s messy and ill-equipped apartment. As the game continues, Florence arrives, fresh from being dumped by her husband. Fearful that the neurotic Florence might try to harm herself, Olive invites her to move in as her roommate. However, Olive and Florence have VERY different personalities. Where Olive is messy, untidy, and unconcerned about the state of her apartment, Florence is obsessively clean, tidy, and obsessed with hygiene. Olive’s easy-going outlook on life soon clashes with Florence’s highly-strung neurotic tendencies, testing their friendship to the limit. When Olive organizes a double-date with the Costazuela brothers, their differences come to a head and sparks fly.

9/24/21 Covid Policy: Please note that guests over age 12 will be required to show proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test (antigen or PCR) that was administered no more than 72 hours before their ticketed performance. You may display proof on a smartphone (e.g., a photo of your card) or present a physical copy. Guests under age 12 must have a negative test under the same parameters.
All patrons, visitors, volunteers, and crew members must wear a facemask at all times while indoors at The Stained Glass Theatre—even when seated. Performers will be unmasked while on stage, but they will be required to wear a mask at all other times. If you do not have a facemask upon entry, you will be provided one.
Note: Always verify the latest policy changes before attendance.
