BECKY’S NEW CAR
Presented by Middletown Lyric Theatre
May 17-19
Middletown

Fortyish Becky Foster has a decent job at an auto dealership, a solid husband named Joe, and a freeloading psych-major son living in her basement. Her life is…okay, if not sublime. But when she crosses paths with billionaire widower Walter Flood, she’s offered the chance to test drive a very different kind of existence – if she can just keep him in the dark about the one she already has! Playful and painful, wacky and wistful, this world premiere comedy by longtime Seattle playwright Steven Dietz reminds us that the road not taken can be full of hairpin turns.

Directed by Charley Shafor

Cast: Kristin Henderson as Becky, Saverio Perugini as Joe, Jakob Fudge as Chris, Brent Meir as Steve, Bob Brunner as Walter, Chelsea Skalski as Kenni & Peggy Allen as Ginger

The mission of True Theatre is to bring together a wide variety of people to share stories in an effort to create community, encourage discussion, and remind everyone that ALL of us have stories to tell with unique insights and broad appeal.

They may redden cheeks, make eyes water, and elicit eruptions of laughter. They take you somewhere. Although great storytelling is not limited to true, personal stories, True Theatre believes that these real moments of our lives, from the mundane to the extraordinary, give both the speaker AND the listener the ultimate sense of being part of a larger community than they were aware. Come join us for an evening of True Theatre …where time slows down and we can listen.

THE SOUND OF MUSIC runs May 11-27

THE SOUND OF MUSIC
Presented by Dayton Playhouse
May 11-27
Dayton

Reviews: Dayton Most Metro |

When a postulant proves too high-spirited for the religious life, she is dispatched to serve as governess for the seven children of a widowed naval Captain. Her growing rapport with the youngsters, coupled with her generosity of spirit, gradually captures the heart of the stern Captain, and they marry. Upon returning from their honeymoon they discover that Austria has been invaded by the Nazis, who demand the Captain’s immediate service in their navy. The family’s narrow escape over the mountains to Switzerland on the eve of World War II provides one of the most thrilling and inspirational finales ever presented in the theatre.
