Dayton Playhouse
July 18-20

ANGEL’S SHARE by Dominic Finocchiaro

Mom and dad’s son has died. His name was Steve. Stephen is not mom and dad’s son. However, with a tiny implant, the boundary between Steve and Stephen could begin to dissolve. But what’s lost along the way? Is a person more than just their memories? A speculative fiction exploration of grief, love, and family.

THE ART OF ARSON by Hutchins Foster

Zelda Fanning has summoned her family to her house on what would have been her deceased husband’s seventieth birthday. Four generations of secrets come to light, dysfunctions are dealt with, and fantastic Halloween costumes are worn. All the while an arson-induced wildfire encroaches closer to the one-of-a-kind house Zelda built.

Vikas Choudhury is a thoughtful but aimless young man living with his aunt and uncle in the New Jersey suburbs as he grieves the death of his parents. A mysterious bag appears at the door, sparking revelations that help them face a quietly buried past. As each family member wraps their hopes and fears up in the bag’s contents, they find themselves unraveling their relationships to each other. “The Good Name” is an examination of duty and cultural expectations, grief and forgiveness, and family.

MATT LOCKE lives a great life. He has a funny, beautiful wife – ABBY – and two smart, rambunctious kids – JIMMY and SAMANTHA. He’s trying to run his own bed and breakfast, a lifelong dream of his. He even puts up with the well meaning but annoying next door neighbor TOBY whenever he barges in. However, all is not as it seems, as we learn the secret behind MATT LOCKE’s life and what might bring the Locke Inn crashing down around him.
