THE LAST TRAIN TO NIBROC
Presented by Fairfield Footlighters
Nov. 11-20
Fairfield 

Set between 1940-1943, “Nibroc” begins aboard a train with the chance encounter between a recently discharged soldier named Raleigh and a young schoolteacher named May. The strangers on a train discover they hale from the same part of Kentucky and begin to fall for each other.

Raleigh, who was discharged from the Army because he suffers from epilepsy, is intent on moving to New York to become a writer. May, who has a burning desire to help others, is preparing for missionary work abroad. Their dreams seem to point in opposite directions, as do their temperaments.

Raleigh, with a gentle sense of humor and a tolerance for other people’s faults is extremely sensitive about his own. His easily hurt pride is a stumbling block in his courtship of May, whose generous spirit is tempered by a judgmental streak stemming from her sheltered life.

Directed by Patricia Davis and produced by John Vanderplough

Cast: Elizabeth McDonough as May& Chris Server as Raleigh

AN EVENING WITH KEVIN J. THORNTON on Oct. 19

AN EVENING WITH KEVIN J. THORNTON
Presented by Know Theatre of Cincinnati
Oct. 19
Over-the-Rhine

Last seen at the 2011 Cincinnati Fringe Festival with I Love You (We’re Fucked) and in 2009 with Sex, Dreams, and Self Control.

Winner of 2011 League of Cincinnati Theatre Award for Best Writing and Performance at the 2011 Cincinnati Fringe Festival.

AN EVENING WITH KEVIN J. THORNTON is a throwback to the golden age of entertainers on the vaudeville circuit — he sings poignant songs and tells hilarious jokes but the twist is Thornton is anything but old fashioned. This comedian’s stories comment on sexuality (the straight and gay kind), religion and American life in a new century.

ALL SHOOK UP runs Nov. 10-12

ALL SHOOK UP
Presented by Union Community Theatre Youth Program
Nov. 10-12
Union

A musical comedy built around a number of songs made famous by Elvis Presley. It’s NOT a biographical revue. It takes place in 1955, somewhere in middle America, where one girl’s dream and a surprise visit from a mysterious leather-jacketed, guitar-playing stranger help a small town to discover the magic of romance and the power of rock & roll. Among the 24 songs featured in the score are classics like “Heartbreak Hotel,” “Love Me Tender,” “Don’t Be Cruel,” “Can’t Help Falling in Love,” and of course the title tune. –www.guidetomusicaltheatre.com
