THE GUY WHO DIDN’T LIKE MUSICALS Runs Dec. 6-14

THE GUY WHO DIDN’T LIKE MUSICALS
Cincinnati Actor’s Studio & Academy
Dec. 6-14
Essex Studios Rm 282B [Avondale]

Cast: Isabel Acevedo, Char Adams, Maria Blaker, Conner Beierle, E. Carr, Gina Cerimele-Mechley, Trey Daumeyer, Eli Davis, Em Ivanov, Janet Langhorst, Naomi Manson, Jackie Merz, Eva Moore, Serenity Newell-Goodwin, Kayamarie Roll, Meg Roulier, Elsie Routt, Kate Stuard-Neal, Katelyn Thatcher, Phia Veshapidze & Max Winski

Everything in Hatchetfield seemed normal until people began singing… Then, they began dancing… And now, a musical pandemic is sweeping the entire city. It’s up to Paul (an average guy who doesn’t like musicals) and his friends to stop this musical apocalypse and fight for humanity’s future. Content Warning:  the show uses “colorful language”, sexual innuendo,
and drinking.
