Whether you’re a young woman with her first Chicago Apartment, or a cursed Beast with a talking lamp who’s recently downsized, the hardest thing about moving to a big city can be making a genuine connection with people. GLASSHEART is a new kind of fairy tale: for the romantics, for the broken-hearted, and for everyone who’s ready to breathe a little magic back into the world from the author of Susan Swayne and the Bewildered Bride.

WELL Runs Nov. 19-Dec. 4

Falcon Theatre
Nov. 19-Dec. 4
[Newport]

Directed by Burgess Byrd

“This play is not about my mother and me,” begins the character of Lisa. But, of course, it is about her mother, and her mother’s extraordinary ability to heal a changing neighborhood, despite her inability to heal herself. In this “solo show with people in it,” the playwright asks the provocative question: “Do we create our own illness?” The answers become highly complicated as the play spins dangerously out of control into riotously funny and unexpected territory.

Fairfield Footlighters
Nov. 19-21
Fairfield Community Arts Center

Directed by Anna Schindler Brown

Cast: Nan Bongiani as Mrs. Tomlinson/Aunt March, Lori Wegman as Josephine March, Dan Schindler as Mr. March, Chris Hudak as Marmee, Megan Fridenmaker as Meg, Kayla Theis as Jo, Rosemary Walker as Beth, Olivia Klefeker as Young Amy, Katie Meymann as Adult Amy, Kira Smith as Hannah, Bob Dronberger as Mr. Laurence, Grant Zentmeyer as Laurie, Andrew Shamblin as John Brooke, Marijo Farley as Mrs. Moffett/Mrs. Kirke, Brenna Lambert as Clara, Taryn McQuinley as Kitty/Mary, Sophia Ragland as Minnie/Jenny, Madalynn Berter as Sarah, Abby Turner as Katy & Kevin Noll as Frederich Bhaer

In 1860’s New England, we see the lives of the four March daughters – Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy – play out before us and follow their triumphs and tragedies as they grow up, fall in love, and face life. With their chaplain father away serving in the Civil War and their mother doing all she can to hold things together at home, the girls employ creativity and courage to help their mother while pursuing their own passions—Jo’s writing, Amy’s art, Beth’s service to the poor, and Meg’s pursuit to become a proper young lady. Next-door neighbor Theodore “Laurie” Laurence, a lonely but charming teen, can’t resist the energy and grace of these little women and helps them to endure one trial after another.

MU 2021 Fringe Festival Runs Nov. 18-20

MU_Fringe 2021 logoFringe Festival 2021
Miami University Theatre
Nov. 18-20
Gates-Abegglen Theatre & Studio 88 [Oxford]

BIG OL’ TINY LI’L DANCE CONCERT 
This concert consists of four pieces choreographed by faculty, students, and guest artist Countess Winfrey of the Dayton Contemporary Dance Theatre. The content of the pieces will be as diverse as the interested participants.

THE BUTTERFLIES’ PROMISE: A VOCALOID JUKEBOX MUSICAL
By Joseph Sheridan
Presented by New Wave Theatre Company
Best friends Danica, Allison, and Ryan are starting their first semester of college in the town where they grew up. They were hoping for an easy and smooth transition to school, but life gets in the way. The Butterflies’ Promise will be performed as a musical tour through songs originally performed using the Vocaloid voice synthesizer software that chronicle the trio’s journey through their first semester as they laugh, love, cry, and find their own identities through a turbulent coming-of-age.

THE END OF THE WORLD 
A play by Baxter Whitehead
Two men sit together at the end of the world, grappling with the sheer incomprehensibility of what has happened. As they talk about the meaning of life and grief in this subtext-rich short drama, the hidden truth of their situation slowly comes to light.

IN TIME
A play by Ruby Gray
What does it mean to be a woman? In Time follows two sets of people, one “then” and one “now”, as they find love, identity, and a chance for liberation. Alternating vignettes reveal that these moments in time are not as different as they may seem. Through letters, balls, texts, and unexpected encounters, Sarah, Cecilia, Sam, and Casey learn what it means to see and be seen. Recipient of the 2021 Miami University Theatre Gallagher Playwriting Award.

ONE
A film by Jordan Myers
ONE is a story about a young woman named Jess who is faced with a world where man-eating demons inhabit all reflective surfaces. Your cell phone, computer screen, mirror…nothing is safe. Daily routines become deadly. In a horrifying sequence of incidents and close-calls, Jess must stop the demons from preying on herself, her friends, her family, and ultimately the world.
