UC College-Conservatory of Music
Feb. 9-12
Patricia Corbett Theater [University Heights]

Directed by Susan Felder

An electrifying tale of a creature cast away by his creator into a hostile world — only to wind his way back in a dangerous game of destruction — that has captivated audiences for over 200 years. This gothic story comes to life with Nick Dear’s adaptation of the chilling fable by Mary Shelley, animating the themes of social rejection, intellectual hubris and the clash of good and evil. Content advisory: This production contains adult content, including scenes depicting physical and sexual violence.

Broadway in Cincinnati
Feb. 7-12
Aronoff Center P&G Hall [Downtown]

Holding onto hope when times are tough can take an awful lot of determination, and sometimes, an awful lot of determination comes in a surprisingly small package. Little OrphanAnnie has reminded generations of theater goers that sunshine is always right around the corner, and now the best-loved musical of all time is set to return in a new production–just as you remember it and just when we need it most.

ARCADIA Runs Feb. 3-12

Wright State University
Feb. 3-12
Creative Arts Center, Festival Playhouse [Dayton]

Directed by Marya Spring Cordes, Assoc Chair, School of Fine and Performing Arts, WSU

This brilliant drama by one of our greatest living playwrights leaps artfully between the past (1809) and the present, where order and chaos, certainty and confusion, genius and unexpressed passion intertwine and collide in what one critic called “Tom Stoppard’s richest, most ravishing comedy to date.” Arcadia explores the possibilities life offers as we make seemingly minor, but irreversible, choices.

THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG Runs Feb. 3-5

TCP_Play that Goes WrongTHE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG
Tree County Players
Feb. 3-5
[Greensburg, Ind]

Directed by Jeff Lincourt

Cast: Katy Prairie as Annie, Stage Manager, Devin Morgan as Trevor, Light and Sound Tech, Erich Davies as Chris (Inspector Carter), Brady Domingo as Jonathan (Charles Haversham), Matt Boersma as Robert (Thomas Colleymoore), Corden Simmonds as Dennis (Perkins), Evan Straber as Max (Cecil Haversham) & Morgan Kramer as Sandra (Florence Colleymoore)

“Break a leg!” takes on a whole new meaning for a woefully misguided troupe of players at the Cornley University Society’s opening night performance of The Murder at Haversham Manor. An unconscious leading lady, a corpse who can’t play dead, a ruffled detective, and a word-mangling butler (among others) must battle against technical gaffes, forgotten lines, and sabotaging scenery in a quest to arrive all in one piece at the final curtain call. Part Monty Python, part Sherlock Holmes, all mayhem, this 1920s whodunit is disastrously delightful.
