Presented by Oxford Area Community Theatre
Feb. 15-23
Oxford

Directed by Rebecca Howard

Sister Elizabeth Donderstock is Squeamish, has been her whole life. She makes cheese balls (traditional and smokey) that sustain the existence of her entire religious community, Clusterhave. However, she feels unappreciated among her Squeamish brethen, and she decides to try her luck in the outside world. Along the way, she meets a Cockney-speaking Ukranian immigrant couple who find her a job waiting tables at Plymouth Crock, a family restaurant run almost entirely by recovering alcoholics. The alcoholics love her. The customers love her. Her Danderfrock fits right in. Things are going great for Liz, until she’s offered a promotion to manager. Unfortunately, Liz has a sweating problem, and to get the job, she’ll have to fix it. Meanwhile, back at Clusterhaven, Liz’s compatriots just can’t seem to duplicate her cheese ball recipe, and it’s going to cost them their quaint, cloistered lifestyle. They are panic-stricken and desperate, and sure she sabotaged the recipe. Does Liz go through with the operation? Can the Squeamish be saved? Will the cheese balls ever tast good again? The answers to these and so many other questions can be found in the new comedy from The Talent Family, David and Amy Sedaris

THE RED VELVET CAKE WAR Runs Feb. 14-17

GHCT_Red Velvet Cakes WarTHE RED VELVET CAKE WAR
Presented by Greater Hamilton Civic Theatre
Feb. 14-17
Hamilton

Directed by Rhonda Lucas
​Produced by Brett Sandlin

Cast: Petty Cash as Cee Cee Windham, Julie Joyce Smith as Gaynelle Verdeen, Lynn Minges as Lamerle Minshew, Dick Gentry as Aubrey Verdeen, Maggie Macgregor as Jimmie Wyvette Verdeen, Beth McClain as Peaches Verdeen Belrose, Megan Demoret as Bitsy Hargis , Sharon Einhorn as Elsa Dowdall, Linda Hurley as Mama Doll Hargis, Joey Schnell as Newt Blaylock, Justyn Rampa as Sheriff Grover Lout & Adam Blount as Purvis Verdeen

In this riotously funny Southern-fried comedy, the three Verdeen cousins—Gaynelle, Peaches and Jimmie Wyvette—could not have picked a worse time to throw their family reunion. As a parade of wildly eccentric Verdeens gather on the hottest day of July, smack-dab in the middle of Texas tornado season, things spin hilariously out of control when a neighbor’s pet devours everything edible, a one-eyed suitor shows up to declare his love and a jaw-dropping high-stakes wager is made on who bakes the best red velvet cake. As this fast-paced romp barrels toward its uproarious climax, you’ll wish your own family reunions were this much fun!

WHEN THE RAIN STOPS FALLING
Presented by Know Theatre of Cincinnati

An intricate fabric of overlapping connections, When The Rain Stops Falling moves seamlessly through time and across continents between the years 1959 and 2039. In a world where the rain rarely stops falling, four generations searching for truth and hoping to mend broken connections discover the impossibility of escaping the past. We are all shaped by what has come before and we create the shadow of what comes next.
