THE FANTASTICKS runs April 13-22

THE FANTASTICKS
Presented by Xenia Area Community Theatre
April 13-22
Xenia

Two fathers decide that they want their children to fall in love. The girl, Luisa, is a daydreamer with an active imagination. The boy, Matt, is a romantic. The two fathers decide to instigate a mock feud amongst themselves in order to help the boy and girl fall in love. They figure that this feud will give them the excuse to say no to the relationship, which of course will simply encourage the children’s love even more. The fathers go as far as to hire El Gallo to stage a mock abduction of Luisa, in which Matt can become a hero and save her. After this act, Luisa and Matt fall deeply in love. Soon though, the children realize their parents staged the feud and their love fades away. Later, after both children experience a little life experience on their own and are hurt by it, they reunite once again with much less drama. –StageAgent.com

REASONS TO BE PRETTY runs April 12-28

REASONS TO BE PRETTY
Presented by New Edgecliff Theatre

Columbia Tusculum

Reviews: CityBeat | Cincinnati Examiner | Behind the Curtain |

When Greg confesses to his girlfriend of four years that she’s not physically perfect, it not only affects their lives, but the lives of their close friends Carly and Kent, whose relationship is anything but perfect. Playwright Neil LaBute (Fat Pig, The Shape of Things) takes a long hard look at both physical and emotional beauty and the obsessions we have with both. The Associated Press calls LaBute’s reasons to be pretty, “…his most compassionate, appealing work to date.”

Directed by Mark Seamon

Cast: Justin Baldwin, Steve Early, Mindy Heithaus & Rachel Mock
