Reviews: Dayton Most Metro |

Neil Simon’s Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning laugh-filled piece tells the tale of two young boys left by their widowed father in a strange world called Yonkers. Their father must travel to pay back loan sharks so the boys are entrusted to a tough-minded grandmother and a child-like aunt. The aunt, now in love with a man who is just as unable to cope with the boys’ care as she is, tries to figure out the next step in this funny, touching and unforgetable drama.

In the tradition of Junie B. Jones and Fancy Nancy comes this season’s precocious young 1st grader! She’s Gooney Bird Greene and she likes to be smack in the middle of everything! It’s the first day of school and everybody’s in a bum mood. Then, Gooney Bird Greene bursts through the door wearing pajamas and cowboy boots! And she tells the most improbable tales! Like how she arrived from China on a flying carpet or how she got a lovely pair of diamond earrings at the local palace or even how she directed a symphony orchestra! Things are never going to be the same at Watertower Elementary!

Newcomer, Gooney Bird Greene, wears weird outfits to school and tells impossible tales. But her classmates are skeptical. Can her stories really be true? Recommended for Youth in grades 4 & up

GRUESOME PLAYGROUND INJURIES
Presented by Know Theatre of Cincinnati
Oct. 8-Nov. 5
Over-the-Rhine

Reviews: CityBeat | Enquirer | Behind the Curtain | BroadwayWorld Cincinnati | Cincinnati Examiner |

Kayleen and Doug’s eight year old lives collide in the nurse’s office when Doug rides his bike off the roof of the school and Kayleen can’t stop throwing up. Over the course of the next 30 years, the lives of these made-for-each-other masochists intersect at the most bizarre intervals, leading the two childhood friends to compare their scars and the physical calamities that keep drawing them together. These two rebels may only be fit for one another, but that may not be enough to heal each other’s wounds.

EVIL DEAD THE MUSICAL runs Oct. 21-30

EVIL DEAD THE MUSICAL
Presented by Beavercreek Community Theatre
Oct. 21-30
Beavercreek

Reviews: Dayton Most Metro |

Based on Sam Raimi’s 80s cult classic films, EVIL DEAD tells the tale of 5 college kids who travel to a cabin in the woods and accidentally unleash an evil force. And although it may sound like a horror, it’s not! The songs are hilariously campy and the show is bursting with more farce than a Monty Python skit. EVIL DEAD: THE MUSICAL unearths the old familiar story: boy and friends take a weekend getaway at abandoned cabin, boy expects to get lucky, boy unleashes ancient evil spirit, friends turn into Candarian Demons, boy fights until dawn to survive. As musical mayhem descends upon this sleepover in the woods, “camp” takes on a whole new meaning.
