THIS RANDOM WORLD

Directed by Laura Berkemeier

Cast: Brieanne Sheehan as Beth, Jay Gossett as Tim, Liz Ingram as Scottie, Dan Maloney as Gary, Megan Carr as Rhonda, Caitlin Ingram as Claire, Candace Grissom as Bernadette & Mark Metzner as The Man

We want to believe that serendipity brings us together, but is that just a myth? Mining the comedy of missed connections, This Random World asks the serious question of how often we travel parallel paths through the world without noticing. From an ailing woman who plans one final trip, to her daughter planning one great escape and her son falling prey to a prank gone wrong, this funny, intimate, and heartbreaking play explores the lives that may be happening just out of reach of our own.

GROUNDED Runs Sept. 8-25

HRTC_Grounded logoGROUNDED
Human Race Theatre Company
Sept. 8-25
The Loft Theatre [Dayton]

GROUNDED tells the story of a hot-shot F16 fighter pilot whose unexpected pregnancy ends her career in the sky. After maternity leave, she is reassigned as a reluctant operator of remotely piloted aircraft in the Middle East. From an air-conditioned trailer in the desert near Vegas, the Pilot struggles through dreamlike 12-hour shifts hunting terrorists by day and being a wife and mother by night, leading her into a downward spiral. It’s a frightening reflection on war and the controversial wartime use of drones, and demonstrates the psychological effects experienced by a human who has the power of a wrathful deity. Ages 18 and up.

LA CAGE AUX FOLLES Runs Sept. 8-10

TLD_La Cage Aux Folles promoLA CAGE AUX FOLLES
TheatreLab Dayton
Sept. 8-10
Top of the Market [Dayton]

Directed by Philip Drennen
Music directed by Norman A Moxley II

Cast: Josh Stucky as Georges, Ben Douglas as Albin, Garrett Young as Jean-Michel, Alex Muhlenkamp as Anne, Mark Garner as Dindon, Amy Askins as Marie, Allie Haines as Jacqueline, Alex Everett as Jacob, Jamal Cann as Francis, Brooke Cierra as Colette/Ensemble, Sam Evans as Madame Renaud/Ensemble, Joshua Silver Hughes as Etienne/Ensemble, Tim Farquhar as Aimee, Jonathan McNeal as Phaedra, Jacob Sams as Chantal, Scott Winters as Hannah, Zach King as Tobarro/Ensemble, Derick Latimer as Renaud/Ensemble & Angie Thacker as Lousie/Ensemble

After 20 years of partnered bliss, Georges and Albin, two men partnered for better or worse, get a bit of both when Georges’ son (fathered during a one night fling) announces his impending marriage to the daughter of a bigoted, right wing politician. Further complicating the situation is the “family business”: Albin and Georges run a drag nightclub in St. Tropez, where Albin is the star performer, “Zaza”. Georges reluctantly agrees to masquerade as “normal” when he meets the family of the bride to be. But Albin has other plans, with hilarious results.
