THE WEDDING SINGER Runs Nov. 13-23

THE WEDDING SINGER
Wright State University
Nov. 13-23

The Wedding Singer takes us back to a time when hair was big, greed was good, collars were up and a wedding singer might just be the coolest guy in the room. Based on the hit Adam Sandler movie, The Wedding Singer’s sparkling new score does for the ’80s what Hairspray did for the ’60s. Just say yes to the most romantic musical in twenty years.

One of the world’s most beloved fairy tales comes to the CCM stage! Despite being under the thumb of her evil stepmother, a poor girl wishes for her dream to come true. Enter her fairy godmother, who provides a ticket to the royal ball. The girl meets Prince Charming and they fall in love. When the clock strikes midnight, though, she vanishes… leaving only a single shoe behind. Jules Massenet’s elegant score brings wit and charm to this timeless romance based on Charles Perrault’s telling of the Cinderella fairy tale.

MAN VS. MACHINE Runs Nov. 7-23

MAN VS. MACHINE
Clifton Players
Nov. 7-23
Liberty Exhibition Hall [Northside]

Enjoy a series of short plays that challenge the boundaries of creativity, featuring works by renowned playwright Lee Blessing alongside compelling pieces from other National Playwrights and artificial intelligence.  Will you be surprised which stories speak to you?

We walk into this space of story telling asking ourselves and our audiences how comfortable are we consuming the artistry of the machine? Is it simply mirroring humanity as a collective? Will it be obvious a human soul isn’t behind a particular story? We will facilitate talk backs after each show for those who wish to discuss. Come let us tell you a story and hopefully keep you thinking about this  experience long after you leave the theatre!

  • Fri-Sat, Nov. 7-8 at 7:30pm
  • Sun, Nov. 9 at 6pm
  • Fri-Sat, Nov. 14-15 at 7:30pm
  • Sun, Nov. 16 at 6pm

Cast Announced for LIGHT SENSITIVE by Dayton Theatre Guild

DTG is pleased to announce the cast of LIGHT SENSITIVE by Jim Geoghan

  • Frank Maranje as Tom Hanratty
  • Jim Hagan as Lou D’Marco
  • Kerry Simpson as Edna Miles

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL!

Thomas Hanratty, lifelong resident of Hell’s Kitchen and once the most dangerous white cab driver in New York, was blinded eight years ago in a drunken accident and is fading into a routine of self pity and alcohol. His bartender and only friend is moving to Vermont with his girlfriend, but finds it difficult to abandon Tom. He recruits a slightly handicapped volunteer reader who battles her way through Tom’s shell. By the second act, they are falling in love. His buddy returns with tales of his “Christmas from hell” in Vermont, and doubt arises as to who will hold the number one position in Tom’s life.
