Brookville Community Theatre
Nov. 9-19
[Brookville, Oh.]

Directed by Bonnie Bertelson

Cast: Alain Alejandro as Dad, Ashley Leifheit as Mom, Derek Combs as Son, Lorelai Wells as Daughter, Kai West as Paul/Ted, Ellie Wells as Muffins, Isla Jackle as Piddles, Lisa Marling as Grandma & Scott Marling as News Reporter

Join this hilarious family as they struggle to endure being stuck at home – together! Why is the WiFi out, and will their old-school solutions work when all the needed cords are missing from the junk drawer? Will the family secure two-ply rolls of toilet paper in trade negotiations with Grandma? Wait… what has each of them been using? How many family game nights can teens endure? How are the pets holding up? What foods (or beverages!) are critical enough to make a special run to the grocery store? How do first dates and book clubs work while social distancing? And really, who is strong enough to endure more than one Dad joke?

Oct. 26
Memorial Hall [Over-the-Rhine]

Stories from and about neighborhoods of the Queen City, CINCINNATI! Inspired by a recent documentary created by local documentarian and violinist Preston Bell Charles III, this show is designed to make Cincinnatians interested in other areas of our city with which we may not be as familiar, to encourage exploration and the development of a greater appreciation of where we call “home”.

True Theatre is Cincinnati’s longest-running storytelling event, now in its 14th season. Over the years, we’ve featured hundreds of stories from hundreds of people just like you, making connections and building Community through the sharing of true, personal stories. We are so grateful to our audiences for supporting us and giving us a reason to continue in our mission for so long!
