STEEL MAGNOLIAS is a touching, comedy-drama that shows the healing power of laughter and friendship. As the women of Chinquapin, Louisianna gather to get their hair done in Truvy’s hair salon, they gossip and trade opinions about every day life.

Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park
March 21-April 26
Shelterhouse Theatre [Eden Park]

Directed by Bridget Leak

Cast: Tyler Fauntleroy as Tom & Remy Zaken as Amber

Amber is charmingly neurotic and seemingly confident. Tom is a handsome and appealing go-getter. It’s their freshman year at Princeton, and both of them are buckling under the weight of everyone’s expectations. They drink and date to cope with mounting pressures until one shared night together sets off a damning chain of events that neither of them sees coming. Tom said this; Amber said that — but what actually happened between them that night? This thought-provoking new play by playwright Anna Ziegler finds its finger on the pulse of a generation that’s grappling with the deep complexities of gender, race and consent.

MORNING’S AT SEVEN Runs March 20-April 5

DTG_Morning at Seven logoMORNING’S AT SEVEN
Dayton Theatre Guild
March 20-April 5
[Dayton]

Directed by Kathy Mola
Produced by Christina Tomazinis

Cast: Dave Nickel as Theodore Swanson, Dee Berdine as Cora Swanson, Tori Tuccillo as Aaronetta Gibbs, Margie Strader as Ida Bolton, Richard Young as Carl Bolton, Matthew Smith as Homer Bolton, Susie Gutierrez as Myrtle Brown, Barbara Jorgensen as Esther Crampton & Charles Larkowski as David Crampton

This 1939 comedy tells the story of four aging sisters who live in a small mid-western town, and their long-standing sibling rivalries. Three of them–Ida, Cora and Arry–have lived next door to each other for fifty years, and Esther, the eldest, lives only a few blocks away. We quickly learn that living so close to one another has taken its toll. Some start to question their lives and decide to make some changes before it’s too late. In 1980, MORNING’S AT SEVEN was nominated for the Tony award for Best Revival of a Play.
