LOVING LIVES
Tree County Players
Feb. 6-8
[Greensburg, Ind]
It’s 1948, it’s the dead of winter, and it’s time for “Loving Lives,” a radio soap opera on its last legs. A pompous romantic lead, an incapacitated announcer, an obnoxious kazoo-tooting child star, and multiple off-the-air seductions all contribute to the hilarious demise of the radio show. Rated PG-13.

Memorial Hall [Over-the-Rhine]
The “love” is in quotes in the title because these stories are about NON-romantic love… Selfless, unconditional love, often with repercussions that spread beyond the main figures in each story.
This show will be ASL interpreted thanks to Cincinnati State and their ASL Interpreter Training Program.

Boxelder Community Room – 4573 Hamilton Ave, Cincinnati, OH 45223
Sat, Jan. 31 from 4-6pm
Please prepare a short comedic monologue, and bring a headshot, resume, and list of possible conflicts for the months of February and March 2026.
THE DEMON IN THE WALL is a new one-act, 75-minute comedy. We are seeking flexible performers who are interested in problem-solving, portraying multiple characters, and developing new work. Experience in puppetry and/or devised theatre is a plus. At this stage, this is a volunteer-based project.
Synopsis: For eons, a demon has been trapped in the wall between the men’s and women’s restrooms in an office building. He has become embroiled in office politics. Now, he senses that the Grimorean Hammer, the only weapon that can break him free from his imprisonment, has entered this realm! The demon must send Sylvie, an office worker who thinks he’s a voice in her head, to go get the hammer and rescue him. A wild fantasy comedy romp ensues!
Roles:
Sylvie, Andres, and the Goblin should each have a dedicated actor. The remaining characters can be played by two other actors, each playing multiple characters.
We are open to gender neutral casting. Script samples are available upon request.
