THE MISS MAGNOLIA SENIOR CITIZEN BEAUTY PAGEANT
Tri-County Players

Directed by John Vanderplough

The Four Old Broads are back, with some wacky new friends, in an all-new comedy. Against her better judgement, Lurleen Dupree is throwing the seventh annual Miss Magnolia Senior Citizen Beauty Pageant. Martha Parcell is certain that it is finally her year to win. But Beatrice, Imogene and Eaddy have other plans. Throw in a tambourine-playing squirrel, dueling Elvises, and an unfortunate spray-tanning incident… and you’re in for a knee-slapping, side-splitting night of live theatre.

SOMETHING ROTTEN
Book by Karey Kirkpatrick and John O’Farrell, Music and Lyrics by Karey Kirkpatrick and Wayne Kirkpatrick
October 17 – November 10, 2024

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!

Production team: Jay Goodlett, Director; Greg Dastillung, Music Director, Tina DeAlderete, Choreographer and Jenny Lutes, Stage Manager

THE GODS OF COMEDY Runs Oct. 18-26

THE GODS OF COMEDY
Sunset Players
Oct. 18-26
The Arts Center at Dunham [West Price Hill]

Directed by David Roth
Produced by John Wesseling

Cast: Brandon Hester as Aristide, Lace Walther as Daphne, Jeri Nakamura as Dean Trickett, Corey Meyer as Ralph, Logan Dunn as Zoe, Ray Lebowski as Aleski, Zak Kelley as Dionysus, Rachel Brzezinski as Thalia, Brooke Conner as Brooklyn & Thurman Allen as Area

Daphne and Ralph are young classics professors who have just made a discovery that’s sure to turn them into academic superstars. But something goes disastrously wrong and Daphne cries out in panic, “Save me, gods of ancient Greece”!!… and the gods actually appear! The Ivy league will never be the same as a pair of screwball deities encounters the carnal complexity of college coeds, campus capers, and conspicuous consumption.

[Xenia]

Directed by John Detty

Based on the episode of the same name, The Nightman Cometh is a one-act musical comedy originally performed by the cast of “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.”

When Charlie writes a musical based on his song “Nightman,” it is up to the gang to help Charlie stage his show and figure out why exactly he wrote it in the first place. After all, nobody writes a musical for no reason…

“The Nightman Cometh” is a hard rated R live show that contains strong language, adult themes, threats of violence, strong sexual situations, fake firearms, and other content not suited for children.
