Presented by Untethered Theater
Nov. 9-25
Clifton

Directed by Kevin Crowley

Cast: Leah Strasser as Denise Savage, Mindy Heithaus as Linda Rotunda, Carter Bratton as Tony Aronica, Carol Brammer as April White & Glenn Schaich as Murk

A Savage walks into a bar. She has a purse full of cash and a consuming need to make a change in her life, starting with the apartment she shares with her mother. At this Bronx bar she’s surrounded by other stunted losers, fellow 32 year olds who peaked long ago. Some of them find freedom at the bottom, while others find they’re still alone. Savage in Limbo is a heartrending dark comedy about unrealized potential and realizing you never had potential to begin with.

SPRING AWAKENING runs Nov. 9-18

SPRING AWAKENING
Presented by Wright State University
Nov. 9-18
Dayton

Directed by Joe Deer
Music directed by Sherri Sutter
Choreographed by Dionysia Williams

Cast: Tommi Harsch as Wendla Bergman, Jon Hacker as Melchior Gabor, Drew Helton as Moritz Stiefel, Paige Dobkins as Martha Bessell, Caroline Gruber as Thea, Liz Romey as Anna, Ria Villaver as Ilse Neumann, Justin King as Hanschen/Rupert, Logan Torbet as Ernst/Heinhold, Sean Jones as Georg/Dieter, Zach Warner as Otto/Ulbrecht, Lauren Schorr as Greta, Chrissy Bowen as Adult women & Andrew Quiett as Adult men

It’s Germany, 1891. A world where the grown-ups hold all the cards. The beautiful young Wendla explores the mysteries of her body, and wonders aloud where babies come from, till Mama tells her to shut it, and put on a proper dress. Elsewhere, the brilliant and fearless young Melchior interrupts a mind-numbing Latin drill to defend his buddy Moritz – a boy so traumatized by puberty he can’t concentrate on anything. Not that the Headmaster cares. He strikes them both and tells them to turn in their lesson. One afternoon – in a private place in the woods – Melchior and Wendla meet by accident, and soon find within themselves a desire unlike anything they’ve ever felt. As they fumble their way into one another’s arms, Moritz flounders and soon fails out of school. When even his one adult friend, Melchior’s mother, ignores his plea for help, he is left so distraught he can’t hear the promise of life offered by his outcast friend Ilse. Naturally, the Headmasters waste no time in pinning the “crime” of Moritz’s suicide on Melchior and expel him. And soon Mama learns her little Wendla is pregnant. Now the young lovers must struggle against all odds to build a world together for their child. –StageAgent.com

COMPANY runs Nov. 9-17

COMPANY
Presented by Cincinnati Music Theatre
Nov. 9-17
Downtown

Local media coverage: Enquirer article |

Directed by Bill Geraghty
Vocal Direction by Marie Kramer
Music Direction by Mike Griffin
Choreography by Meghan Zlatic
Produced by Jill Rothmeeler and Kevin Burton

Cast: Michael Shawn Starks as Robert, Sarah Mizelle as Sarah, Brandon Bentley as Harry, Bree Hunter Sprankle as Susan,  Jered Ryan as Peter, Julia Abanto-Bethune as Jenny, Brian Anderson as David, Jen McGuire as Amy, Darin Art as Paul, Deana Tully as Joanne, Chuck Ingram as Larry, Katie Daniel as April, Kati Bakes as Kathy & Dylan McCrate as Marta

COMPANY tells the story of Robert, a single man unable to fully commit to a steady relationship. On the night of his 35th birthday, he contemplates his unmarried state. In vignette after hilarious vignette, he weighs the pros and cons of married life as we are introduced to the women he is dating and “those good and crazy people,” his married friends. In the end, he realizes being alone is “alone, not alive.”

The clashing sounds and pulsing rhythms of New York City underscore this landmark “concept” show, considered by many to have inaugurated the modern era of musical theatre. An honest, witty, sophisticated look at relationships, “Company” is as contemporary and relevant as ever (witness the recent hit revivals on Broadway and the West End). It features a brilliant energetic score containing many of Stephen Sondheim’s best-known songs (including “Another Hundred People,” “The Ladies Who Lunch” and “Being Alive.”)
