Know Theatre of Cincinnati
Nov. 18-Dec. 11
[Over-the-Rhine]

Directed by Lindsey Augusta Mercer
Music directed by Erin McCamley

Cast: Jaron Crawford as Trevor, Ian Timothy Forsgren as Cary & Erin McCamley as Siren

There’s only one day a year that scale-covered Trevor can blend in with the crowd: “Monster Fest.” Tired of hiding, he sets out to make a love connection – but Fate might just be calling him, instead. Featuring lush indie-rock melodies, this comic-inspired queer fable is a timely reminder of the restorative powers of loving and being loved.

BETRAYAL Runs Nov. 18-Dec. 4

FT_Betrayal logoBETRAYAL
Falcon Theatre
Nov. 18-Dec. 4
[Newport] 

Directed by Becca Howell

Cast: Samantha Joy Luhn as Emma, Aaron Whitehead as Robert, David Derringer as Jerry & Lisa Dirkes as Waiter

The play begins in the present, with the meeting of Emma and Jerry, whose adulterous affair of seven years ended two years earlier. Emma’s marriage to Robert, Jerry’s best friend, is now breaking up, and she needs someone to talk to. Their reminiscences reveal that Robert knew of their affair all along and, to Jerry’s dismay, regarded it with total nonchalance. Thereafter, in a series of contiguous scenes, the play moves backward in time, from the end of the Emma-Jerry affair to its beginning, throwing into relief the little lies and oblique remarks that, in this time-reverse, reveal more than direct statements, or overt actions, ever could.

OUR TOWN Runs Nov. 18-20

XU_Our Town logoOUR TOWN
Xavier University
Nov. 18-20
Gallagher Student Center Theatre [Evanston]

Directed by Aaron Rossini

OUR TOWN depicts the small town of Grover’s Corners as it follows the simple daily lives of the Webb and Gibbs families as their children fall in love, marry, and eventually – in one of the most famous scenes in American theatre – die. A heartbreaking and heartwarming reminder to never take the moments of life – no matter how large or small – for granted, Thornton Wilder’s theatrical masterpiece remains one of the most well-known and beloved plays of the American stage. Adult situations, content and language.
