SOMETHING ROTTEN Runs Oct. 17-Nov. 10

SOMETHING ROTTEN
Covedale Center for the Performing Arts
Oct. 17-Nov. 10
[West Price Hill]

Directed by Jay Goodlett
Music directed by Greg Dastillung
Choreographed by Tina DeAlderete

Cast: Aaron Marshall as Nick Bottom; Christopher Wells as Shakespeare; Anthony J. Contreras as Nigel Bottom; Jazz McMullen as Nostradamus; Cammi Caldwell as Bea; Jerrod Gruber as Brother Jeremiah; Elena Boyd as Portia; Austin Hoard as Minstrel; Josh Van Nort as Lord Clapham/Ensemble; Trey Finkenstead as Shylock/Ensemble; Jordan Ward, Sarah Condon, Emma Hackworth  & Cassidy Steele as Bards Girls/Townspeople/Ensemble; Issiah Current as Tom Snout/Ensemble; Caleb Freed as Robin/Ensemble & Nicholas Lyons Rohr as Peter Quince/Ensemble

Welcome to the Renaissance! The Black Plague has ceded power to the Puritans. Farthingales and codpieces are the latest fashion trends. And the biggest celebrity in England is some guy named William Shakespeare. Meanwhile, brothers Nick and Nigel Bottom, in trying to keep their acting company afloat consult a soothsayer who informs them that the future of theatre involves acting, singing, and dancing – sometimes all at once! With hilarious songs like “I Hate Shakespeare,” “Will Power” and the title tune “Something Rotten,” the Bottom brothers write the world’s very first “musical,” as they battle the Bard himself. SOMETHING ROTTEN is a hysterical, joyous musical celebration of everything you love about Broadway!

OUT CRY Runs Oct. 12-20

OUT CRY
Oxford Area Community Theatre
Oct. 12-20
Oxford Community Arts Center

Directed by Mike McVey

OUT CRY is set in an empty, run down theatre in an unspecified location.  Siblings Felice and Clare discover that the acting company that they have been directing and touring with has abandoned them for nonpayment of salaries. Deserted and penniless, the two are left to perform a play by themselves without complete set, costume, and props. They must deliver a spectacular performance despite their own insecurities. They are literally playing for their lives. This play is achingly plaintive, amusingly combative, and wildly humorous. Williams believed that this was, “My most beautiful play since Streetcar the very heart of my life.” As with all of Tennessee Williams’ plays, his characters are isolated, flawed, and always fragilely human.
