THE ENCHANTED COTTAGE is a charming and romantic fable, written in 1921. It ran on Broadway for 65 performances in 1923 and was made into a film in 1945. It was, in fact, produced here at The Guild in the 1953/1954 season. Socialite Oliver Bradshaw returns home from WWI disfigured by war wounds and convinced that no one will accept him as he is now. He hides from his family and the rest of the world, taking a secluded cottage overseen by a mysterious housekeeper. Laura Pennington, a painfully shy young woman from the village comes to look after Oliver. She tells him that the cottage in which he is staying is in fact a very old honeymoon cottage. The two begin developing feelings for each other and ultimately fall in love and marry. They discover the enchantment of the cottage has the power to transform. This play is about true beauty lying within, and about acceptance. Everyone deserves to love.

Video Auditions Announced for PRECIPICE: What Took Us Over the Edge

MISC_Auditions2Announcing Auditions for

PRECIPICE: What Took Us Over The Edge
A New Musical by Matthew Nassida and Lex Rigsby

PRECIPICE: What Took Us Over The Edge, a new musical, explores the significant human moments of revelation and change, as well as how each choice we make reverberates forward, influencing generations to come. As we stand on the edge of a proverbial cliff – uncertain whether to retreat into what’s safe or take a step forward into the abyss – we are welcomed by the good and bad memories that lead us to the brink. This powerful new work examines the exhilaration and the fear that comes as we stumble upon our tipping points and allows each of us to see ourselves from the ether, standing beyond the precipice.

This production will be a paid workshop/concert performance.

Creative Team:

  • Director and Choreographer: Amanda Marasch

Auditions Announced for BUS STOP at Brookville Community Theatre

BVCT_logoJuly 9 & 10 at 6pm

Brookville Community Theatre
770 Arlington Rd
Brookville, OH 45309

Directed by Sherron Henry

Performance dates: Sept. 5-15

In the middle of a howling snowstorm, a bus out of Kansas City pulls up at a cheerful roadside diner. All roads are blocked, and four or five weary travelers are going to have to hole up until morning. Cherie, a nightclub chanteuse in a sparkling gown and a seedy fur-trimmed jacket, is the passenger with most to worry about. SheÕs been pursued, made love to and finally kidnapped by a twenty-one-year-old cowboy with a ranch of his own and the romantic methods of an unusually headstrong bull. The belligerent cowhand is right behind her, ready to sling her over his shoulder and carry her, alive and kicking, all the way to Montana. Even as sheÕs ducking out from under his clumsy but confident embraces, and screeching at him fiercely to shut him up, she pauses to furrow her forehead and muse, ÒSomehow deep inside of me I got a funny feeling IÕm gonna end up in Montana ÉÓ As a counterpoint to the main romance, the proprietor of the cafe and the bus driver at last find time to develop a friendship of their own; a middle-age scholar comes to terms with himself; and a young girl who works in the cafe also gets her first taste of romance.
