University of Dayton Fitz Hall Black Box Theatre

Cast: A.J. Breslin as James, Rae Buchanan as Jewels, Jenna Valyn as Tess & Chris Hahn as Moses, Chris Jones as Pinocchio/Gabe, Jillian Mitchell as Cinderella & Jada Gee as Tinker Bell!

Jewels returns to New Jersey after her father’s death and joins her mother and her sister Tess to prepare for the funeral. She returns home at the same time a hurricane is heading towards the Jersey shores. During these seven days, she also decides to visit four women: victims, lovers, and friends of her father, a Pentecostal pastor who lost his church and family in sexual scandal twenty years earlier. As she breaks their code of silence, Jewels finds herself in a poetic and magical world of Bible verses and hurricanes and a collection of childhood characters from Moses and Tinker Bell to Cinderella and the Little Mermaid. Together, Jewels and her friends, search for the faith she lost and the father she thought she knew.

Oct. 24
Memorial Hall [Over-the-Rhine]

We all have them… dates we acknowledge every year, as a tribute to past accomplishments, special events, or significant losses. Whether with parties, phone calls, cards, or just quiet contemplation, these are the things we re-visit year after year. At trueANNIVERSARY, we’ll be celebrating these events with stories.

Now in their 10th season, True Theatre continues to produce quarterly one-night-only events featuring five people, from all walks of life, sharing true, personal stories, based on the theme of the evening.

The following questions are designed to guide our discussion with you – but please feel free to bring up any other questions you might have. And again – thanks!

  3. What specific issues or challenges do you anticipate in mounting this particular play (e.g., unusual casting, costumes, technical, props, etc.)?
  4. What special assistance will you require from XACT in mounting this play? (We’ll also discuss with you the resources we normally provide directors for set construction, publicity, technical, etc.)
  5. What known schedule constraints do you have and roughly when (what month(s)) would you ideally like to mount this production (e.g., if you coach Little League baseball a spring production may be a bad idea)
