THE THANKSGIVING PLAY
Middletown Lyric Theatre
Nov. 8-16
[Middletown]

Directed by Charley Shafor

Cast: Dan Maloney, Abbie Miller, Karen Oehler & Drew Orozco

Good intentions collide with absurd assumptions in this wickedly funny satire, as a troupe of terminally “woke” teaching artists scrambles to create a pageant that somehow manages to celebrate both Turkey Day and Native American Heritage Month. Recommended for ages 16 and up.

I LOVE YOU, YOU’RE PERFECT, NOW CHANGE Runs Nov. 8-17

I LOVE YOU, YOU’RE PERFECT, NOW CHANGE
Lebanon Theatre Company
Nov. 8-17
[Lebanon]

Cast: Lara Gonzalez, Evan Smith, Betsy Thompson, Tina Green, Josiah Miller, Abby Kinnebrew Smith

This celebration of the mating game takes on the truths and myths behind that contemporary conundrum know as “the relationship.” Through sketches and songs, Act I explores the journey from dating and waiting to love and marriage, while Act II reveals the agonies and triumphs of in-laws and newborns, trips in the family car and pick-up techniques of the geriatric set. This hilarious revue pays tribute to those who have loved and lost, to those who have fallen on their face at the portal of romance, to those who have dared to ask, “Say, what are you doing Saturday night?”

THE OREGON TRAIL Runs Nov. 7-16

THE OREGON TRAIL
Mount St. Joseph University Theatre Arts
Nov. 7-16
Williams Recital Hall [Delhi Township]

Jane’s trapped in her middle school computer lab playing “The Oregon Trail” for what feels like hours. The game becomes life and rips us back to the trail, 1848, where we travel in a covered wagon with Jane’s great-great-grandmother. As Game moves us, back, forward, and back again, Now-Jane and Then-Jane’s sadnesses are delicately juxtaposed in this play-meets-video-game about depression, Then and Now. Contains adult themes and language.
