THE BEAMS ARE CREAKING Runs March 31-April 10

Cedarville University
March 31-April 10
[Cedarville]

The inspiring, powerful, true story of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, the German theologian who defied the Nazis and ultimately led an assassination attempt against Hitler. Part political thriller, part love story, and leavened with moments of humor, it is filled with a compassion that reaffirms one’s faith in man. Best for those over 14 years.

HEAD OVER HEELS Runs April 20-24

MU_logoHEAD OVER HEELS
Miami University
April 20-24
Gates Abeggien Theatre [Oxford]

They’ve got the beat in the kingdom of Arcadia! But it is all at risk when the King receives a most dire prophecy. The royal family’s  journey to evade fate leads each member on a path of discovery centered on equity, inclusion, and self-knowledge. Love is love in this bawdy, madcap combination of a 16th century romance and the songs of 80’s rockers the Go-Go’s. Heaven isn’t just a place on earth. It’s on the stage!
