CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF Runs Jan. 9-26

CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF
Mariemont Players
Jan. 9-26
[Walton Creek]

Directed by Dee Anne Bryll
Produced by Vicki Rafferty

Cast: Natasha Boeckmann as Mae, Keith Cassidy as Big Daddy, Jordan Graff as Brick, Anna Hazard as Margaret, Art Kibby as Reverend Tooker, Cathy Lutts as Big Mama, Fred Murrell as Dr. Baugh & Geoffrey Simmons as Gooper

A family celebrates the sixty-fifth birthday of plantation owner Big Daddy. The mood is somber, despite the festivities, because a number of evils poison the gaiety: greed, sins of the past and desperate, clawing hopes for the future spar with one another as the knowledge that Big Daddy is dying slowly makes the rounds. Maggie wants to give Big Daddy the news that she’s finally become pregnant by his favorite son, Brick, but Brick won’t cooperate in her plans. Swarming around them are their intrusive, conniving relatives, all eager to see Maggie put in her place and Brick tumbled from his position of most-beloved son.

STILL THE WORLD’S MOST POPULAR MUSICAL. Cameron Mackintosh presents the acclaimed production of Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg’s Tony Award®-winning musical phenomenon, Les Misérables. This brilliant staging has taken the world by storm and has been hailed as “Les Mis for the 21st Century” (Huffington Post), “a reborn dream of a production” (Daily Telegraph) and “one of the greatest musicals ever created” (Chicago Tribune). Set against the backdrop of 19th century France, Les Misérables tells an enthralling story of broken dreams and unrequited love, passion, sacrifice and redemption–a timeless testament to the survival of the human spirit. This epic and uplifting story has become one of the most celebrated musicals in theatrical history. The magnificent score of Les Misérables includes the songs “I Dreamed a Dream,” “On My Own,” “Bring Him Home,” “One Day More,” “Master of the House” and many more. Seen by over 130 million people worldwide in 53 countries and 22 languages, Les Misérables is undisputedly one of the world’s most popular musicals.

FAILURE: A Love Story Runs Jan. 3-12

FAILURE: A Love Story
Springboro Community Theatre
Jan. 3-12
Springfield Performing Arts Center

Directed by Julia Gomez

Cast: Sawyer Schafer as Gertrude Fail, Madelyn Sweet as Jenny June Fail, Ryleigh Sadler as Nelly Fail, Mason McHone as Mortimer Mortimer, Zella Younce as John N. Fail, Avery Adkins as Cuckoo Clock/Front Door/Window/Chorus, Belle Scherquist as Chorus, Brenna Lawrence as Mae/Counter Clock/Chorus, Chloe Nelson as Grantland Rice/Chorus, Heather Hilderbrand as Marietta Fail/Gramophone/Chorus, Milena Moncayo as Henry Fail/Moses/Chorus, Myka Denison as Chorus, Nicole Denison as Dog/Grandfather Clock/Chorus & Zoe Hancock as December/Wall Clock/Chorus

By the end of 1928, all three Fail sisters will be dead — expiring in reverse order, youngest to oldest, from blunt object to the head, disappearance, and finally consumption. Tuneful songs, and a whimsical chorus follow the story of Nelly, Jenny June, and Gerty as they live out their lives above the family clock repair shop near the Chicago River, before their time unexpectedly runs out. A magical, musical fable where, in the end, the power of love is far greater than any individual’s successes or failures.
