Show Synopsis: Her fans never knew Joyce Billings. To them, she was Miss Spidra, campy host of ‘The Night Parlor’, Toledo’s midnight horror movie show. Starting as a struggling actress trying to make her mark, Joyce finds herself becoming an icon, a celebrity. But her efforts to keep her beloved show alive cost her mfansore than she could have guessed. Framed against a documentary about her life, Miss Spidra’s journey through the monster craze of the 60s asks what lines one will cross to succeed.
This production will be directed by Trisha Cooper and will begin rehearsals in October. The show will play January 10-18, 2025 at the Arts Center at Dunham (1945 Dunham Way – Cincinnati).
