THE FOREIGNER runs July 5-22

THE FOREIGNER
Presented by Commonwealth Theatre Company
July 5-22
 Highland Heights

Reviews: Enquirer | CityBeat |

While accompanying his friend, “Froggy” LeSeuer on a weekend fishing trip in Georgia, Charlie soon finds himself in way over his head in this non-stop, hilarious play. Due to Charlie’s overwhelming shyness, his fellow lodgers assume he must be a foreigner who doesn’t understand or speak a lick of English. Thinking Charlie must be totally harmless, he becomes privy to some very dastardly and sinister plans, none more devious than those made by a two-faced minister and his redneck associate. How will Charlie navigate these uncharted waters? Especially when he learns that the minister’s pretty fiancée is pregnant? As more non-stop, hilarious revelations get made see how Charlie survives this whale of a tale.

Dinner is served 90 minutes before curtain. A limited number of show-only tickets are available. Traditionally these summer shows sell out in advance.

Directed by Ed Cohen

Cast: Dain Paige as “Froggy” LeSeur, Roderick Justice as Charlie Baker, Dee Anne Bryll as Betty Meeks, Grayson Wittenbarger as Rev. David Marshall Lee, Liz Sunderhaus as Catherine Simms, Sean Harkless as Owen Musser & Kyle Imbronyev as Ellard Simms

BARE and STOP KISS run June 14-23

BARE and STOP KISS
Presented by Playhouse South
June 14-23
Kettering

Reviews: Dayton Most Metro (BARE) |

BARE: The musical is about the coming-of-age story of five high school seniors at a Catholic boarding school. Knowing their stay in this insular world is drawing to a close, each of them question where they are in their lives and what the future holds in store. Answers are sought in the church confessional and in less formal venues including a stage, a rave, and a well-locked dorm room. The story zooms in on the love relationship between two boys, Peter and Jason. Peter a socially awkward loner and Jason the golden boy popular jock. Through out the story we see the struggles, trials and tribulations that they go through to keep their relationship alive and hidden, and how their love affects their friends and the people around them. Will the world accept them? This is a beautiful story of going against adults, religion and everything that they were ever told. -StageAgent

STOP KISS: Sara and Callie are walking through New York City’s West Village, when they share their first kiss. This leads to a vicious attack by an angry bystander, in which Sara is horribly injured. She falls into a coma, which becomes one of the major subjects of the play. George, Callie’s good friend, tries to help with the situation, but there is little he can do. Peter, Sara’s ex-boyfriend from St. Louis, comes to help nurse her back to health. Throughout STOP KISS, relationships are explored, formed, and even ended. Diana Son elaborates on the depths of human emotion and compassion in this play. -Wikipedia
