THE LAST FIVE YEARS Runs Oct. 1-9

VP_The Last Five Years logoTHE LAST FIVE YEARS
Village Players
Oct. 1-9
[Fort Thomas]

Directed by Nathan Henegar
Music/Vocal Direction by Allen Lindsey
Produced by Jen Fischer Davis

Cast: Amanda Marasch as Cathy & Jon Scheiding as Jamie

An emotionally powerful and intimate musical about two New Yorkers in their twenties who fall in and out of love over the course of five years, the show’s unconventional structure consists of Cathy, the woman, telling her story backwards while Jamie, the man, tells his story chronologically; the two characters only meet once, at their wedding in the middle of the show.

9/24/21 Covid Policy (scroll down): Effective immediately, and in concordance with guidelines issued by the State of Kentucky, Village Players will require masking for patrons and crew regardless of vaccination or test-result status for all live performances until further notice. Concessions will be limited to bottled water, though patrons may bring covered, outside snacks (non-alcoholic) to enjoy outside of the performance space before the show and during intermission.
Masks must be worn correctly, covering both the mouth and nose, while inside the building and during the entirety of each performance. Village Players reserves the right to revoke admission to any performance at any point for lack of adherence to this policy. Our first priority is the safety and well-being of our cast, crew, volunteers, and patrons.  
Note: Always verify the latest policy changes before attendance.

  • Fri-Sat, Oct. 1-2 at 8pm

THE ODD COUPLE Female Version Runs Sept. 30-Oct. 16

FLI_The Odd Couple FV logoTHE ODD COUPLE Female Version
Footligthers, Inc.
Sept. 30-Oct. 16
[Newport]

Directed by Tom Peters
Produced by Cathy Lutts & Freida Houck

Cast: Jen Drake as Olive, Stefanie Adams as Florence, Mary Stone as Mickey, Elizabeth Hickerson as Vera, Stephanie Klein as Sylvie, Jessie Faye as Renee, Adam Drake as Manolo & Jeff Richardson as Jesus

Neil Simon’s revision of his hugely successful play, The Odd Couple, sees the lead characters transformed into Olive Madison and Florence Unger. Olive and their group of girlfriends are enjoying their weekly Trivial Pursuit night in Olive’s messy and ill-equipped apartment. As the game continues, Florence arrives, fresh from being dumped by her husband. Fearful that the neurotic Florence might try to harm herself, Olive invites her to move in as her roommate. However, Olive and Florence have VERY different personalities. Where Olive is messy, untidy, and unconcerned about the state of her apartment, Florence is obsessively clean, tidy, and obsessed with hygiene. Olive’s easy-going outlook on life soon clashes with Florence’s highly-strung neurotic tendencies, testing their friendship to the limit. When Olive organizes a double-date with the Costazuela brothers, their differences come to a head and sparks fly.

9/24/21 Covid Policy: Please note that guests over age 12 will be required to show proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test (antigen or PCR) that was administered no more than 72 hours before their ticketed performance.

All patrons, visitors, volunteers, and crew members must wear a facemask at all times while indoors at The Stained Glass Theatre—even when seated. Performers will be unmasked while on stage, but they will be required to wear a mask at all other times. If you do not have a facemask upon entry, you will be provided one.

GUESS WHO’S COMING TO DINNER Runs Sept. 24-Oct. 9

FT_Guess Whos Coming to Dinner logoGUESS WHO’S COMING TO DINNER
Falcon Theatre
Sept. 24-Oct. 9
[Newport]

Directed by Piper N. Davis

Cast: Elizabeth-Leigh Taylor as Matilda Binks, Cat Cook as Hillary St. George, Cathy Roesener as Christina Drayton, Jim Hopkins* as Matt Drayton, Zoe Rose Davidson as Joanna Drayton, Ryan-Chavez Richmond as Dr. John Prentice, Terry Gosdin as Monsignor Ryan, Darryl Hilton as John Prentice, Sr. & Joy Rolland-Oba as Mary Prentice

A progressive white couple’s proud liberal sensibilities are put to the test when their daughter brings her black fiancé home to meet them in this fresh and relevant stage adaptation of the iconic film Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner. Blindsided by their daughter’s whirlwind romance and fearful for her future, Matt and Christina Drayton quickly come to realize the difference between supporting a mixed-race couple in your newspaper and welcoming one into your family–especially in 1967. But they’re surprised to find they aren’t the only ones with concerns about the match, and it’s not long before a multi-family clash of racial and generational difference sweeps across the Draytons’ idyllic San Francisco terrace. At the end of the day, will the love between young Joanna and John prevail? With humor and insight, Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner begins a conversation sure to continue at dinner tables long after the curtain comes down.

9/15/21 Covid-19 Policy: Proof of vaccination or negative Covid-19 test required. Mask required. 
Note: Always verify the latest policy changes before attendance.

  • Fri-Sat, Sept. 24 & 25 at 8pm
