ABRAHAM LINCOLN’S BIG GAY DANCE PARTY runs Nov. 26-Dec. 23

ABRAHAM LINCOLN’S BIG GAY DANCE PARTY
Presented by Know Theatre of Cincinnati
Nov. 26-Dec. 23
Over-the-Rhine

Reviews: CityBeat | Enquirer |

Ms. Harmony Green’s fourth-grade class presents a new take on their traditional Christmas pageant in a rural Illinois town. The production sets off a firestorm of controversy when it calls into question Honest Abe’s sexual orientation – based on historical facts. This thought-provoking, laugh-out-loud funny, and uniquely American story unfolds, offering surprises at every turn. Each of the three acts lets the audience see the story from a different character’s viewpoint. Oh, and of course, plenty of big gay dancing. Suitable for high school ages and up.

PIRATES OF PENZANCE runs Nov. 10-12

PIRATES OF PENZANCE
Presented by Miami University
Nov. 10-12
Oxford 

The story concerns Frederic, who, having completed his 21st year, is released from his apprenticeship to a band of tender-hearted pirates. He meets Mabel, the daughter of Major-General Stanley, and the two young people fall instantly in love. Frederic finds out, however, that he was born on 29 February, and so, technically, he only has a birthday each leap year. His apprenticeship indentures state that he remains apprenticed to the pirates until his 21st birthday, and so he must serve for another 63 years.[2] Bound by his own sense of duty, Frederic’s only solace is that Mabel agrees to wait for him faithfully. -Wkikpedia
