HRTC_Incident at Our Lady of Perpetual Help logoINCIDENT AT OUR LADY OF PERPETUAL HELP
Human Race Theatre Company
April 14-May 1
Loft Theatre [Dayton]

Directed by Margaret Perry
Produced by Tara Lail & Kevin Moore

Cast: Christine Brunner as Josephine (Jo) O’Shea, Cecily Dowd as Linda O’Shea, Mierka Girten as Theresa (Terri) Carmichael, Lizzie Huelskamp as Becky O’Shea & Jason Podplesky as Mike O’Shea/Father Lovett/Betty Heckenbach

A money-strapped family tries to cope in 1973. 19 year-old Linda O’Shea is our narrator and she is attempting to re-enact the most turbulent day of her life, but her family keeps interrupting to tell their side of the story. The 70’s were a time of old school living; no social media, and public ridicule in a close-knit community was the ultimate nightmare. When her parents ask her to explain to her younger sister about the birds and the bees, somehow the blunt explanation is overheard by the parish priest and he is not amused. When he confronts her parents about the “corruption of their eldest daughter’s very soul,” all holy hell and hysteria break loose in this nostalgic comedy.

GHCT_The Odd Couple logoTHE ODD COUPLE
Greater Hamilton Civic Theatre
April 28-May 1
Parrish Auditorium [Hamilton]

Directed by Rhonda Lucas
Produced by Brett Sandlin

Cast: Scott Christian as Oscar, Tyler Parsons as Felix, Mike Blessing as Murray, Adam Drake as Roy, Jacob Campbell as Vinnie, Brian Smith as Speed, Brandie Gill as Gwendolyn & Sydney Higgins as Cecily

This classic comedy opens as a group of the guys assemble for cards in the apartment of divorced Oscar Madison. And if the mess is any indication, it’s no wonder that his wife left him. Late to arrive is Felix Unger, who has just been separated from his wife. Fastidious, depressed, and none too tense, Felix seems suicidal, but as the action unfolds, Oscar becomes the one with murder on his mind when the clean freak and the slob ultimately decide to room together with hilarious results as The Odd Couple is born.
