THE RAPE OF THE BELT
Presented by Tri-County Players
Feb. 3-11
Sharonville 

Heroes, Amazons, Gods and Goddesses……..A mythological comedy that brings together Heracles, his pal Theseus and the Amazons with Hera and Zeus in a clever tale that comments on war and gender. Heracles arrives at the home of the Amazons to steal the royal jewels- THE BELT- and finds the ladies will not surrender it, nor will they fight to defend it. The Heroes are bewildered. The co-queens alternate charm and sarcasm to defeat the men until Hera decides to intervene and turns the Amazon queen-dom upside down as the heretofore peaceful women prepare for WAR!

OLEANNA runs Feb. 2-11

OLEANNA

Feb. 2-11
Springfield

A college student, Carol, drops by her professor’s office in an effort to gain his help to do better in class. John, the professor, in the midst of buying a house to celebrate his nomination for tenure, at first seems distant. As the first meeting progresses the two discuss the nature of understanding and judgment in society, as well as their very own natures and places in our society. It seems as if a bond has been made. When next they meet we find that a report has been filed to the tenure committee. Carol has joined a “group” and has decided that John sexually harassed her during their first meeting. Their second meeting dissects the first; every word, every nuance of the first meeting has been twisted into something else. Or has it? John’s unsuccessful attempts to convince Carol to retract her accusation escalate to a more dangerous level. The third meeting, one the court officers warned against, climaxes violently, leaving John and Carol both physically and emotionally devastated.

Directed by Josh Katawick

Cast: Nicolas Bauer as John & Abigail Reisinger as Carol

SPRING AWAKENING runs Feb. 2-4

SPRING AWAKENING
Presented by UC College-Conservatory of Music
Feb. 2-4
University Heights

Reviews: Talkin’ Broadway |

It’s Germany, 1891. A world where the grown-ups hold all the cards. The beautiful young Wendla explores the mysteries of her body, and wonders aloud where babies come from, till Mama tells her to shut it, and put on a proper dress. Elsewhere, the brilliant and fearless young Melchior interrupts a mind-numbing Latin drill to defend his buddy Moritz – a boy so traumatized by puberty he can’t concentrate on anything. Not that the Headmaster cares. He strikes them both and tells them to turn in their lesson. One afternoon – in a private place in the woods – Melchior and Wendla meet by accident, and soon find within themselves a desire unlike anything they’ve ever felt. As they fumble their way into one another’s arms, Moritz flounders and soon fails out of school. When even his one adult friend, Melchior’s mother, ignores his plea for help, he is left so distraught he can’t hear the promise of life offered by his outcast friend Ilse. Naturally, the Headmasters waste no time in pinning the “crime” of Moritz’s suicide on Melchior and expel him. And soon Mama learns her little Wendla is pregnant. Now the young lovers must struggle against all odds to build a world together for their child. -StageAgent.com
