Reviews: Dayton Most Metro |

A series of vignettes about love guaranteed to heat up a chilly winter date night. Amidst the glow of the northern lights, the residents of the mythical town Almost, Maine find themselves falling in and out of love in unexpected, and often hilarious, ways. Knees are bruised. Hearts are broken. But the bruises heal, and the hearts mend—almost—in this delightful midwinter night’s dream.

INTO THE WOODS
Presented by UC College-Conservatory of Music
Feb. 23-March 4
University Heights

Reviews: Enquirer | CityBeat | The News Record | Talkin’ Broadway |

Stephen Sondheim’s Into the Woods combines characters from “Cinderella,” “Little Red Riding Hood,” “Jack and the Beanstalk” and other classic fairy tales in a delightfully twisted story of adventure, deceit, misfortune and greed. The Tony Award-winning Into the Woods follows the journey of a Baker and his Wife on their quest to reverse a curse put on them by the Witch next door, forcing them to face the consequences of their actions. As the fairy tale characters work to fulfill their greatest wishes, they learn a heartwarming moral of the importance of family and community. This production celebrates the 20th Anniversary of the establishment of the Patricia A. Corbett Distinguished Chair of Musical Theatre at CCM.

DOG SEES GOD runs Feb. 23-26

DOG SEES GOD: Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead
Presented by Xavier Players
Feb. 23-26
Evanston

CB begins to question the existence of an afterlife when his dog dies from rabies. His best friend is a burn-out; his sister has gone goth; his ex-girlfriend has recently been institutionalized; and his other friends are too inebriated to give him any sort of solace. But a chance meeting with an artistic kid, the target of this group’s bullying, offers CB a peace of mind and sets in motion a friendship that will push teen angst to the very limits. Drug use, suicide, eating disorders, teen violence, rebellion and sexual identity collide and careen toward an ending that’s both haunting and hopeful. Inventive, raunchy and hysterically funny with characters who are both genuinely sympathetic and unquestionably cruel. Rated R.
