Written by Derek J. Snow
Directed by Caitlin McWethy

London, 1876. Four headstrong women break out of the asylum to which their families have committed them. An abandoned inn offers welcome shelter, but the restless spirit who walks the halls will test the bonds of this little found family before he decides whether to shelter them or cast them back out upon the mercy of the world.

With an original score for string quartet by Jimmie A. Parker, this new production by local playwright Derek J. Snow is about how racism and misogyny haunt the living. Originally commissioned and developed in a workshop production by Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park through its Jerome Fey Play Collection Fund. Rated: PG-13

JAMES AND THE GIANT PEACH JR
Rivertown Players
March 27-29
[Lawrenceburg, Ind.]

Featuring music and lyrics by the Tony-nominated songwriters Justin Paul and Benj Pasek and book by Timothy Allen McDonald, James and the Giant Peach JR. is based on the beloved book by Roald Dahl and tells the story of a young orphaned child who finds a loving family in a most peculiar way. Sent by his mean, conniving aunts to chop down their old fruit tree, James discovers a magic potion which results in a tremendous peach occupied by some not-so-normal characters. From the center of the gigantic fruit, James and the unlikely crew launch a journey of enormous proportions. Together they discover that while we are all born into a family, we then go on to create a family of our own.

1776 Runs March 26-April 5

1776
Wright State University
March 26-April 5
Creative Arts Center Festival Playhouse [Dayton]

Directed and choreographed by Greg Hellems
Music directed by Wade Russo

This production reflects and reimagines politics in a way not to be missed. The seminal event in American history blazes to vivid life in this most unconventional of Broadway hits. 1776 puts a human face on the pages of history as we see the Americans behind the national icons: proud, frightened, uncertain, irritable, charming, often petty and ultimately noble figures, determined to do the right thing for a fledgling nation.
