SHOCK! The Spine-Tingling Tale of Miss Spidra Runs Jan. 10-19

SHOCK! The Spine-Tingling Tale of Miss Spidra
CenterStage Players
Jan. 10-19
The Arts Center at Dunham [West Price Hill]

Directed by Trisha Cooper
Produced by Joe Hamzy

Cast: Niki Ramussen as Joyce Billings/Miss Spidra, Nate Huitger as Ray Coslaw, Zoe Peterson as Lucy Lupnicki/Spinnerette, Julie Jordan as Joyce 2, Monroe Granhart as Interviewer & Justin Hanks as John Oglesby

Her fans never knew Joyce Billings. To them, she was Miss Spidra, campy host of The Night Parlor, Toledo’s midnight horror movie show. Starting as a struggling actress trying to make her mark, Joyce finds herself becoming an icon, a celebrity. But her efforts to keep her beloved show alive cost her more than she could have guessed. Framed against a documentary about her life, Miss Spidra’s journey through the monster craze of the 60s asks what lines one will cross to succeed.
