NOISES OFF Runs Oct. 14-24

NKU_Noises Off logoNOISES OFF
NKU SOTA Theater + Dance
Oct. 14-24
Corbett Theatre [Highland Heights]

Directed by Ken Jones

NOISES OFF has been called “the funniest farce ever written” and takes a fond look at the follies of theatre folk, whose susceptibility to out-of-control egos, memory loss, and passionate affairs turn every performance into a high-risk adventure. This play-within-a-play captures a manic menagerie of itinerant actors rehearsing a flop called “Nothing’s On.” Doors slamming, falling trousers, on and offstage intrigue, and an errant plate of sardines all figure in the plot of this hilarious and classically comic play.

9/14/21 Covid-19 Policy: NKU is following all CDC and government guidelines, and continues to monitor the COVID situation. SOTA plans to be at full capacity in public venues. Healthy@NKU remains an important part of our plan even with the easing of certain restrictions. Masks are required indoors on campus for all persons, vaccinated and unvaccinated. 
Note: Always verify the latest policy changes before attendance.

CABARET Runs Oct. 13-16

D2D_Cabaret promoCABARET
Dare to Defy Productions
Oct. 13-16
PNC Arts Annex [Dayton]

Cast: Alex Everett as Emcee, Charity Farrell as Sally Bowles, Garrett Young as Cliff Bradshaw, Joshua Stucky as Fraulein Schneider, Saul Caplan as Herr Schultz, Steven Lasiter as Ernst Ludwig & Amy Askins as Fraulein Kost
Kit Kat Ensemble:  William Boatwright, Naman Clark, Courtney Collinsworth, Kiersten Farmer, Abbey Grace, Lindsey Morrison, Anna Stanford, Caroline Thompson & Scott Winters

On his first night in Berlin, Clifford Bradshaw, a struggling American writer, wanders into the Kit Kat Klub, a seedy nightclub overseen by the strange, omniscient and gender-bending Master of Ceremonies, “the Emcee.” Here, Cliff meets Sally Bowles, a vivacious, talented cabaret performer, and a whirlwind romance ensues. Daring, provocative and exuberantly entertaining, Cabaret explores the dark and heady life of Bohemian Berlin as Germany slowly yields to the emerging Third Reich.

9/14/21 Covid-19 Policy: The D2D Staff/ Board recently met to discuss the rising cases of Covid in the Dayton area. It is our responsibility to provide a safe environment for our actors, crew and staff, as well as our audience. Recent updates from the CDC recommend that all people begin wearing masks indoors in places with high Covid-19 transmission rates, so we will be requiring masks for all audience members, regardless of vaccination status. All actors, staff and crew (over 12 years of age) are required to be fully vaccinated prior to our first rehearsals, and will be unmasked during the duration of the performance.
Note: Always verify the latest policy changes before attendance.

THE STANDS and AT THE EDGE OF THE LIGHT On Oct. 12

CPI_logoTHE STANDS and AT THE EDGE OF THE LIGHT
Cincinnati Playwright Initiative
Sept. 14
Aronoff Center Fifth Third Bank Theatre [Downtown]

THE STANDS by Eric Thomas
Two sets of parents meet at their sons’ first high school baseball game. Marcus wants his son to love baseball as much as he did. Alex wants her son to be on track toward a scholarship. Pamela wants to protect her son from ridicule. Blair wants to make a friend. All relationships and expectations are challenged when the parents are confronted with a series of surprises, both on the field and in the stands.

AT THE EDGE OF THE LIGHT by Chris Bishop
Three men from different backgrounds share a common secret. Each one must navigate the familial, religious and societal pressures forcing him to hide his true identity from the world and even himself. Each man struggles to find and reveal his true self on the border between the darkness of shame and fear, and the light of honesty and self-love.

Casts include: Burgess Byrd, Jessie Faye, Jeff Weinkam, Elizabeth Hickerson & Derek Snow

9/10/21 Covid-19 Policy: Due to the high levels of COVID-19 transmission in Hamilton County and the surrounding area, all guests, staff, and volunteers are required to wear masks at all times in our venues, regardless of vaccination status. This policy is effective immediately and until further notice.  In addition, beginning September 13, 2021, ticket holders 12 years of age and older will be required to show a proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test for entry into the Aronoff Center and Music Hall. Requirements for children under 12 years old will be determined by each of our venue’s resident companies.
Note: Always verify the latest policy changes before attendance.

Beyond the Proscenium Ensemble
Oct. 8-22
Liberty Exhibition Hall [Northside]

We all know that Zombies spend day in and day out seeking human brains to chow down on. But– How would they spend their time if they were stuck in a cabin on Halloween night, in a freak blizzard, hundreds of miles away from the nearest human brain? Laugh the night away in a show that has been compared to a comedy muddle up between the television show FRIENDS and the cinematic classic NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD. Includes dinner.

9/10/21 Covid-19 Policy: This COVID safe production requires masks and will continue with the COVID menu in the same fashion as our show last spring. All actors and staff have been vaccinated. Continuing our shows and keeping our patrons safe is of considerable importance to us.
Note: Always verify the latest policy changes before attendance.
