THE DINING ROOM runs March 3-11

THE DINING ROOM
Presented by Stagecrafters
March 3-11
Sharonville

The play is set in the dining room of a typical well-to-do household, the place where the family assembled daily for breakfast and dinner and for any and all special occasions. The action is comprised of a mosaic of interrelated scenes – some funny, some touching, some rueful – which, taken together, create an in-depth portrait of a vanishing species: the upper-middle-class WASP. The actors change roles, personalities and ages with virtuoso skill as they portray a wide variety of characters. Dovetailing swiftly and smoothly, the varied scenes coalesce, ultimately into a theatrical experience of exceptional range, compassionate humor and abundant humanity.

Directed by Dee Dunn
Produced by Vicki Rafferty

Cast: Bob Buchtman, Bridgid Dunn, Terry Gosdin, Bett Kooris, Joel Lind, Saverio Perugini, Gail Rudolph, Glenn Schaich, Karen Vanover & Jeanine Yellman

STEEL MAGNOLIAS runs March 8-April 1

STEEL MAGNOLIAS
Presented by the Covedale Center for the Performing Arts
March 8-April 1
West Price Hill

Welcome to Truvy’s beauty salon in Chinquapin, Louisiana, where all the ladies who are “anybody” come to have their hair done. Helped by her eager new assistant, Annelle, the outspoken, wise-cracking Truvy dispenses shampoo and free advice to the town’s rich curmudgeon, Ouiser, an eccentric millionaire; Miss Clairee, who has a raging sweet tooth; and the local social leader, M’Lynn, whose daughter, Shelby is about to marry a “good ole boy.” Filled with hilarious repartee and not a few revealing verbal collisions, the play invokes knowing laughter and certain tears when the spunky Shelby risks her life for a child of her own. The realization of mortality affects the others, but also draws on the underlying strength—and love – in these uniquely American women.

Directed by Elizabeth Harris

Cast: Mindy Heithaus as Truvy Jones, Allison Husko as Annelle Dupuy-Desoto, Burgess Byrd as Clairee Belcher, Sarah Fischer as Shelby Eatenton-Latcherie, Julia Hasl Miller as M’Lynn Eatenton & Christine Dye as Ouiser Boudreaux

Reviews: Talkin’ Broadway | Dayton Examiner |

Book your passage for the Tony Award-winning tribute to the “unsinkable” liner that fell to the icy depths of the Atlantic 100 years ago. A joyous, breathtaking and heartbreaking musical, TITANIC captures the humanity and emotion of the ship’s historic maiden voyage in April of 1912. We meet her designers, officers, crew and passengers; A-list aristocrats and others fleeing poverty, all hoping to fulfill their life’s dreams. Winner of five Tony Awards including Best Musical, TITANIC is truly an epic musical with a beautiful musical score, moving story and wonderful special effects-a wonderful way to remember the “Ship of Dreams.
