Carnival barker, Billy Bigelow, captivates millworker Julie Jordan, in Broadway’s most dramatic love story. But when Billy is drawn into a life of crime, he pays with his life. Allowed to return to earth for one day, Billy finds the grace to renew hope to Julie in a dramatic testimony to the power of love. The great score features “You’ll Never Walk Alone”, “If I Loved You” and “June is Busting Out All Over”.

Contemporary Arts Center [Downtown]

Directed by Eric Santagata
Music directed by Steve Goers

Decadence and excess are the life of the party in this jazzy 1920s whodunnit. Lovers Queenie and Burrs decide to throw the party-to-end-all-parties in their Manhattan apartment. After the colorful arrival of a slew of guests living life on the edge, Queenie’s wandering eyes land on a striking man named Black. As the party’s decadence and destruction reaches a climax, so does Burrs’ jealousy. Tickets will not be available for purchase at the venue.

Is a father-son relationship — viewed through the window of the family car. Written by Los Angeles playwright Jim Geoghan has been dubbed a “front porch play.” “It’s a rite-of-passage story, a sweet comedic “memory play”. Jim Geoghan, a seasoned playwright whose work has been commissioned by the Actor’s Theatre of Louisville, has received both Emmy and Drama Desk award nominations over the years. He has also written for Disney’s “Suite Life of Zach and Cody.” This play was based on his life and relationship with his own father.

TheatreLab Dayton
Jan. 19-21
PNC ARTS Annex [Dayton]

As a young girl, medieval saint, healer, visionary, exorcist, and composer Hildegard von Bingen was locked in a cell after demonstrating a preternatural sensitivity to the world around her. Sequestered with Hildegard is the traumatized Jutta. Under her guidance, Hildegard attempts to reassemble her own fragmented self while her mentor tries to convince her to reject her ideas of brokenness. IN THE GREEN is a musical unlike any you’ve seen, a saga of two exceptional women broken by the world and their journey of healing that changed history. References to sexual assault/trauma, starvation, and foul language.
