A BRIGHT NEW BOISE
Presented by Clifton Players
Oct. 12-28
Clifton

Reviews: Enquirer |

Directed by Buz Davis

Cast: Carter Bratton as Leroy, Kevin Crowley as Will, Jon Kovac as Alex, MaryKate Moran as Anna & Cathy Springfield as Pauline

In the bleak, corporate breakroom of a craft store in Idaho, someone is summoning The Rapture. Will, who has fled his rural hometown after a scandal at his Evangelical church, comes to the Hobby Lobby, not only for employment, but also to rekindle a relationship with Alex, his brooding teenage son, whom he gave up for adoption several years ago. Alex works there along with Leroy, his adopted brother and protector and Anna, a hapless young woman who reads bland fiction but hopes for dramatic endings. As their manager, foul-mouthed Pauline, tries ceaselessly to find order (and profit) in the chaos of small business, these lost souls of the Hobby Lobby confront an unyielding world through the beige-tinted impossibility of modern faith. Ages 18 and up.

A PLAGUE OF ANGELS runs Nov. 8-10

A PLAGUE OF ANGELS
Presented by Sinclair Community College Theatre
Nov. 8-10
Dayton

Directed by Kimberly Borst

Based on the actual account of Mary Mallon, better known as “Typhoid Mary” and her struggle with the Public Health system of New York City in 1907. It’s Mary’s rights versus the “public good” which submerges us into medical ethics in our society then and perhaps even now.
