Memorial Hall [Over-the-Rhine/Online]

They take up space, make a mess, are late with their half of the bills, eat your leftovers, and generally make you look forward to having your own space. They are your roommates and, at “trueROOMMATE,” you’re going to hear some stories about the plusses and minuses of this particular type of torture that most of us have subjected ourselves to at one point or another! ASL Intepreted.

DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE
Mariemont Players

[Walton Creek]

Directed by jef brown
Produced by Pam Kaesemeyer and Amy Stier

Cast: Natasha Boeckmann, Ryan Bowron, John Conrard, Kevin Gleason, Raia Hirsch, Wayne Kirsch & Jeanette Tacon

A new and shocking version of Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic tale of depravity, lust, love and horror. On the fog-bound streets of Victorian-era London, Henry Jekyll’s experiments have brought forth his other self—Edward Hyde, a sensualist and villain free to commit the sins Jekyll is too civilized to comprehend. When Hyde meets a woman who stirs his interest, Jekyll fears for her life and decides to end his experiments. But Hyde has other ideas, and so the two sides battle each other in a deadly game of cat-and-mouse to determine who shall be the master and who his slave.

THE SUGAR WITCH
Beavercreek Community Theatre
Oct. 25-Nov. 3
[Beavercreek]

Directed by Doug Lloyd

Cast: Heather Williams as Sisser, Katie Waid as Ruth Ann Meeks, Ronda Ogletree as Annabelle, Aaron Hill as Moses Bean, David Sherman as Hank Hartley & Mike Taint as Granddaddy Meeks

The Bean family in Sugar Bean, Florida live under an ancient family curse. The surviving members of the town’s founding family have reached the end of their rope. Just when things can’t possibly get any worse, tragedy strikes as a mysterious and brutal murder takes place in the Bean family home. The crime places “Moses” and “Sisser” in grave danger as “Annabelle,” the last in a long line of so-called “Sugar Witches,” attempts to end the curse placed on their heads by the dying words of her very own grandmother. Dark family secrets are revealed and unusual passions are ignited as the family confronts madness, truth, and the destructive legacy of racism as the spirits of the dead walk the dark swamp, haunting the hearts of all who reside there.
