MERRY WIVES OF WINDSOR runs Sept. 16-18

MERRY WIVES OF WINDSOR
Presented by Shakespeare in South Park
Sept. 16-18
Dayton 

The story revolves around an older fat knight named Sir John Falstaff who comes to town hard pressed for money. He devises a plan to woo two wives (Mrs. Page, and Mrs. Ford) and then leech off of their husband’s money by writing them each a love letter, and confessing his desires for them. Mrs. Page and Ford, both good friends and not fools, realize the Knight had written them identical letters, and spend the rest of the play pranking and playing tricks on him to teach him a lesson. The play also involves the marriage of Mrs. Page’s daughter Anne.  Anne’s parents each support a different suitor for her to marry; the eccentric French Physician Dr. Cauis, and a local middle class idiot, Abraham Slender.  Neither has her heart, and she searches for a way to marry one that she truly loves.

John Patrick’s whimsical story about a dysfunctional family, whose wealthy mother, Mrs. Savage, is committed to a rest home by her stepchildren who want to control her fortune. Committed, Mrs. Savage befriends a truly lovable group of “loony” folks who may turn out to be more sane, and kinder, than her greedy clan. Who wins? Comic and dramatic turns unfold in a play that both touches the heart and puts money in its place.

FOOTLOOSE runs Oct. 6-22

FOOTLOOSE
Presented by Footlighters, Inc.
Oct. 6-22
Newport 

One of the most explosive movie musicals in recent memory bursts onto the stage with exhilarating results. When Ren and his mother move from Chicago to a small Texas town, Ren is prepared for the inevitable adjustments. What he isn’t ready for are the rigorous local edicts, including a ban on dancing instituted by the local preacher, determined to exercise control over the town’s youth that he doesn’t have in his own home. When the reverend’s rebellious daughter sets her sights on Ren, her boyfriend tries to sabotage Ren’s reputation, with many eager to believe the worst about the new kid. The heartfelt story that emerges is of a father longing for the son he lost and of a young man aching for the father who walked out on him.

Presented by Greater Hamilton Civic Theatre

THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE is a chilling and mystifying study in mounting terror in which a small group of “psychically receptive” people are brought together in Hill House, a brooding, mid-Victorian mansion known as a place of evil and “contained ill will.” Led by the learned Dr. Montague, who is conducting research in supernatural phenomena, the visitors have come to probe the secrets of the old house and to draw forth the mysterious powers that it is alleged to possess—powers which have brought madness and death to those who have lived therein in the past.
