WSU_Bythe Bog of CatsBY THE BOG OF CATS
Wright State University
Feb. 2-11
Festival Playhouse [Dayton]

Directed by Gina Handy Minyard, artistic director, Magnolia Theatre Company

By the Bog of Cats is a furious, uncompromising tale of greed, betrayal, murder, and profound self-sacrifice. Loosely based on Euripides’ tragedy Medea and set on the bleak, ghostly Irish landscape of the Bog of Cats, this provocative drama discloses one woman’s courageous attempts to lay claim to that which is hers—as her world is torn in two.

VINCENT Runs Jan. 26-Feb. 10

23-24_FTSeason_Final_SocialBannersVINCENT
Falcon Theatre
Jan. 26-Feb. 10
[Newport]

Directed by David Derringer

Featuring Chad Brinkman as Theo Van Gogh

Originally presented by the Guthrie Theatre, this multi-image dramatic staging received rave reviews when it was toured with Leonard Nimoy playing the one extraordinary role. The excitement and color of Van Gogh’s life and art enhance this production through the projection of images that are carefully designed to add impact to the words. As the Variety critic put it, “The actor doesn’t have the stage to himself. He plays against the celebrated artist’s brilliant [work].” The total effect is dazzling. You will see Vincent Van Gogh in a new light as his life unfolds before you through the letters he shared with his brother, Theo.

The Sun’ll come out…tomorrow! The classic hit musical Annie comes to brilliant life this winter. Everyone’s favorite redhead charms everyone she meets in 1930s New York City. Dropped on the doorstep of an orphanage years ago, Annie longs to meet her true parents while escaping the wrath of orphanage owner Miss Hannigan. When the gruff billionaire Oliver Warbucks invites Annie to join him for Christmas, her dreams of family come to life in unexpected ways, befriending President Franklin D Roosevelt, foiling Miss Hannigan, and finding home in unexpected places. Annie the Musical is the perfect musical for the entire family. Featuring classic songs like “Tomorrow”, “Maybe”, and Miss Hannigan’s not-so-loving ode to the orphans she looks after: “Little Girls”.
