Agatha Christie’s MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS Runs April 25-May 4

Agatha Christie’s MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS
Springboro Community Theatre
April 25-May 4
Springboro Performing Arts Center

Directed by Bekki Madden

Just after midnight, a snowdrift stops the Orient Express in its tracks. The luxurious train is surprisingly full for the time of the year, but by the morning it is one passenger fewer. An American tycoon lies dead in his compartment, stabbed eight times, his door locked from the inside. Isolated and with a killer in their midst, the passengers rely on detective Hercule Poirot to identify the murderer – in case he or she decides to strike again.

JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR Runs April 25-May 4

JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR
NKU School of the Arts
April 25-May 4
Corbett Theatre [Highland Heights]

Jesus Christ Superstar will be familiar, in basic fact, to anyone with knowledge of western religion. Borrowing from the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, the musical tells the story of the last seven days of Jesus Christ’s life. As the show opens, apostle Judas Iscariot is growing concerned that Jesus’ followers will be perceived as a threat to the occupying Roman Empire. Indeed, priests Caiaphas, Annas and more gather and agree that Jesus and his movement must be crushed. An exalted Jesus arrives in Jerusalem only to find the temple filled with unsavory merchants and money lenders. Overrun by a flood of people needing his help, he tells them to heal themselves, and his confidante Mary Magdalene has to calm him down. Judas, fearing the movement is getting out of Jesus’ control, goes to the Romans and tells them Jesus will be in the Garden of Gethsemane the following night. He receives 30 pieces of silver as payment. At the Garden, Judas arrives with Roman soldiers and identifies Jesus by kissing him on the cheek. Jesus is arrested and sent to Caiaphas, then Pontius Pilate and finally King Herod, who condemns his to death on the cross.

EVERY BRILLIANT THING Runs April 25-May 4

EVERY BRILLIANT THING
Oxford Area Community Theatre
April 25-May 4
Oxford Community Arts Center

Staged by R. Scott Shriver

Cast: Clare Squance & Vincent Hobart Smith alternating performances

When Mum’s in the hospital and Dad says she’s ‘done something stupid’, there’s not much a seven year old can do.

  1. Ice cream
  2. Water fights
  3. Staying up past your bedtime and being allowed to watch TV

These are the first three items on a list of every brilliant thing in the world worth living for. Duncan MacMillan’s play Every Brilliant Thing pulls back the curtain on what it’s like to be a child of a suicidal mother and the lengths we go for those we love. Based on true (and untrue) stories, Every Brilliant Thing is a life-affirming story of how to achieve hope through focusing on the smallest miracles of life.

  • Fri, April 25 at 7:30pm (performed by Clare Squance)
  • Sat, April 27 at 7:30pm (performed by Vincent Hobart Smith)
  • Sun, April 27 at 2pm (performed by Clare Squance)
