This story takes place following the closing arguments in a murder trial. The 12 members of the jury must deliberate, with a guilty verdict meaning death for the accused, an inner-city teen. As the dozen jurors try to reach a unanimous decision while sequestered in a room, one juror casts considerable doubt on elements of the case. Personal issues soon rise to the surface, and conflict threatens to derail the delicate process that will decide one boy’s fate.

Feb. 28-March 9
Springboro Performing Arts Center

Directed by Tim Rezash

Cast: Kyle Miller as John Wilkes Booth, TJ Montgomery as The Balladeer/L.H. Oswald, Lynn Vanderpool as Sara Jane Moore, Hayley Penchoff as Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme, Nick Bellmyer as Samuel Byck, Jose Gutierrez del Arroyo as Giuseppe Zangara, Ben Essex as John Hinckley, Aaron J. Brewer as Charles Guiteau, Drew Williams as Leon Czologosz, Jason Lakes as The Proprietor, Lindsey Cardoza as Emma Goldman & Bennett Cardoza as Billy
Ensemble: Quin Tyler, Lilly Robillard-Crissman & Amy Brady

ASSASSINS is a musical with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and a book by John Weidman, based on an original concept by Charles Gilbert, Jr. Using the framing device of an all-American, yet sinister, carnival game, the semi-revue portrays a group of historical figures who attempted (successfully or not) to assassinate Presidents of the United States and explores what their presence in American history says about the ideals of their country. The score is written to reflect both popular music of the various depicted eras and a broader tradition of “patriotic” American music.

DEATHTRAP Runs Feb. 28-March 9

DEATHTRAP
Lebanon Theatre Company
Feb. 28-March 9
[Lebanon]

Directed by Micheal Schumacher

Cast: Jake Stone as Sydney Bruhl, Michael Cline as Clifford Anderson, Katie McCoy as Myra Bruhl, Karla Meeker as Helga ten Dorp & Rick Enriquez as Proctor Milgrim

In Ira Levin’s classic comedic thriller, Deathtrap, a washed-up playwright finds a chance to rise to the top once more, a shot he’d be willing to kill for. Sidney Bruhl hasn’t written a hit play for 18 years when he receives a script from a former student, Clifford Anderson, that’s a guaranteed success. His wife, Myra, suggests the two men could collaborate; Sidney jokes that it’d be just as easy to murder the young man and steal the script for his own. When Clifford arrives later that evening, no one–not even the visiting psychic–could predict where the dark events of the night will go. Who is innocent? Who only seems that way? Deathtrap is a sharply funny play full of twists and turns that keep an audience on the edge of their seats. Is anyone really safe when a man sees a clean shot at success?
