MOON OVER THE BREWERY Runs March 1-10

TCT_Moon Over the BreweryMOON OVER THE BREWERY
Troy Civic Theatre
March 1-10
[Troy]

Directed by Steve Dietrich

Cast: Autumn Zalar as Amanda, Liz Maxson as Miriam, Cody Peterson as Randolph & Mark Van Luvender as Warren

Miriam Lipsky, unmarried and living with her thirteen-year-old daughter, Amanda, works as a waitress to pay the bills, but it is her painting that really matters to her. Good subjects are scarce in the drab Pennsylvania coal town where they live, so Miriam dons a miner’s lamp and paints at night, when moonlight softens and transforms the stark landscape. Miriam is also desirous of male companionship, a need which the precocious Amanda (she has an IQ of 160) has discouraged by driving away suitor after suitor with her barbed comments….  Matters come to a head when Miriam brings home Warren Zimmerman, a rather unprepossessing, somewhat paunchy mailman who, at first, appears to be a perfect target for Amanda’s caustic remarks and demeaning intelligence tests.

She Kills Monsters: YAE tells the story of high schooler Agnes Evans as she comes to terms with the death of her younger sister, Tilly. When Agnes stumbles upon Tilly’s Dungeons & Dragons notebook, she finds herself catapulted into a journey of discovery and action-packed adventure in the imaginary world that was her sister’s refuge. In this high-octane dramatic comedy laden with homicidal fairies, nasty ogres, and ’90s pop culture, acclaimed playwright Qui Nguyen offers a heart-pounding homage to the geek and warrior within us all.

UC College-Conservatory of Music Musical Theatre
Feb. 21-25
Household Books [Walnut Hills]

Directed & choreographed by Vincent DeGeorge
Music direction by Julie Spangler

LITTLE WOMEN tells a story of personal discovery, heartache, hope and everlasting love. Based on Louisa May Alcott’s life, it follows the adventures of sisters, Jo, Meg, Beth and Amy March. Jo is trying to sell her stories for publication, but the publishers are not interested – her friend, Professor Bhaer, tells her that she has to do better and write more from herself. Begrudgingly taking this advice, Jo weaves the story of herself and her sisters and their experience growing up in Civil War America.
