YOU CAN’T TAKE IT WITH YOU
Presented by Mariemont Players Inc.

This classic comedy takes us back to the delightful madness of the Sycamore family. Mix basement fireworks, an aspiring playwright, a xylophone, a tipsy actress, subversive leaflets, an income tax man, ballet lessons and a Russian Countess, then stir in a budding office romance. A story as timeless as it is entertaining.

A GRAND NIGHT FOR SINGING runs Jan. 5-15

A GRAND NIGHT FOR SINGING
Presented by Dayton Playhouse
Jan. 5-15
Dayton

Reviews: Dayton Most Metro

Rodgers & Hammerstein’s A GRAND NIGHT FOR SINGING is an evening of music and romance. The musical review explores the broad spectrum of romantic relationships by way of more than thirty Rodgers & Hammerstein songs. Each of the teams musicals is represented. The songs have all been placed in fresh theatrical settings, strung together so that the review “grows up” emotionally. The show is constructed as an emotional journey beginning with young infatuation and the awakening of real love, through the touching and funny complexities of commitment and marriage, the joys of parenthood, and finally, the power of enduring love. As a result, the review has a cumulative impact.

Directed & choreographed by Richard Croskey
Music directed by Ron Kindell

Cast:  Matthew Bone, Carol Chatfield, Kathy Clark, Patricia DiPasquale Krul & Tom Lehmann

LOVE SONG
Presented by Untethered Theater Company

Reviews: Cincinnati Examiner | BTC |

A quirky, off-beat comedy about how an unexpected encounter changes a man’s outlook on life and love. It follows Beane, a socially awkward toll booth attendant who has no social life. His uptight, workaholic sister, Joan, is worried about him and wants to help, but she should really be focusing on the fact that the spark has gone out of her marriage. One night, Beane returns home to find a mysterious woman robbing his apartment, and his world changes. Beane feels brand new, and it rubs off on everyone around him.

  • Fri-Sun, Jan. 6-8 at 8pm
