Ned Newley doesn’t even want to be governor. He’s terrified of public speaking; his poll numbers are impressively bad. To his ever-supportive Chief of Staff, Ned seems destined to fail. But political consultant Arthur Vance sees things differently: Ned might be the worst candidate to ever run for office. Unless the public is looking for… the worst candidate to ever run for office. A timely and hilarious comedy that skewers politics and celebrates democracy.

LAC_Guys and DollsGUYS AND DOLLS
La Comedia Dinner Theatre
Feb. 15-March 24
[Springboro]

This Broadway classic transports you to the colorful world of underground dice-slinging, and high-stakes romance amidst the hustle and bustle of 1950s New York City. Gambler Nathan Detroit’s focus is on his next big payoff, which could cost him the love of his life, as showgirl Adelaide’s growing frustration with getting Nathan to marry her continues to grow.

Bustling with deception and wit, reviving the soul, and gambling on love, the Tony® Award-winning Guys and Dolls is set to a golden era score including “Luck Be a Lady,” “Sit Down You’re Rocking the Boat,” and “I’ve Never Been in Love Before.”

Just after midnight, a snowdrift stops the Orient Express in its tracks. The luxurious train is surprisingly full for the time of year, but by morning is one passenger fewer. An American tycoon lies dead in his compartment, stabbed eight times, his door locked from the inside. Isolated and with a killer in their midst, the passengers rely on detective Hercule Poirot to identify the murderer — in case he or she decides to strike again.

A DOLL’S HOUSE Runs Feb. 15-18

Wright State University
Feb. 15-18
Herbst Theatre, Creative Arts Center [Dayton]

Directed by Marya Spring Cordes

In our Herbst Theatre, we’re presenting a rare chance to see the original classic drama and its unlikely sequel side-by-side. Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House is one of the most important works of world theatre, setting the stage for a revolution in psychological realism with one woman’s discovery of her own strength and independence in a world determined to crush her. As one critic said, Nora’s was “the door slam heard round the world.” Frank McGinnis’ contemporary translation brings Ibsen’s landmark of modern drama to vivid life.
