Asher Lev tells his story in a series of flashbacks. He is a Ladover Hasidic Jew born with a great artistic talent. His sect of Judaism, however, does not believe that art is a worthwhile pursuit. When he begins to draw nudes and pictures of the Crucifixion, Through the years, he has continued to argue with his parents about the nature and value of his work.

Feb. 15-March 11
West Price Hill

Directed by Tim Perrino
Music directed by Ron Attreau
Choreographed by Jeni Bayer-Schwiers

Cast: Dave Wilson as Sky Masterson,  Jeremiah Plessinger as Nathan Detroit, Sarah Viola as Sarah Brown, Marissa Poole as Adelaide, Brandon Bentley as Nicely-Nicely Johnson, Rich Roerdersheimer as Benny Southstreet,  Harold Murphy as Arvide, Jamie Steele as Branigan, Cian Steele as Rusty Charlie, Kevin Bell as Society Max,  Dylan McGill as Harry The Horse,  Peter Cutler as Big Jule & Linsey Rogers as General Cartwright

Set in Damon Runyon’s mythical New York City, Guys and Dolls is an oddball romantic comedy. Gambler, Nathan Detroit, tries to find the cash to set up the biggest craps game in town while the authorities breathe down his neck; meanwhile, his girlfriend and nightclub performer, Adelaide, laments that they’ve been engaged for fourteen years. Nathan turns to fellow gambler, Sky Masterson, for the dough, and Sky ends up chasing the straight-laced missionary, Sarah Brown, as a result. Guys and Dolls takes us from the heart of Times Square to the cafes of Havana, Cuba, and even into the sewers of New York City, but eventually everyone ends up right where they belong.

FOXFIRE Runs Feb. 15-25

Foxfire logoFOXFIRE
Brookville Community Theatre
Feb. 15-25
[Brookville]

Directed by Saul Caplan
Produced by Jen Bell

Cast: Gayle Smith as Annie, Dave Williamson as Hector, Andrew Mitakides as Dillard, Rebecca Henry as Holly, Ian Manuel as Prince & Don Cordes as Doc

Annie Nations, an indomitable Appalachian widow of 79, lives on her mountain farm with the acerbic ghost of her husband Hector. Her tranquility is threatened by a brash real estate developer who wants to turn her land into a vacation resort and by concern over her son Dillard, a country singer who has come home with two stranded children because his wife has run away. Annie’s battle to decide her future takes her through some funny, touching and magical flashbacks to her life with Hector. Played on Broadway by Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy, this couple offers a staunchly affirmative tribute to country folk.
