Groovy 24x36GROOVY! A Musical Comedy Tribute to the 1960s
Loveland Stage Company Youth Summer Program
July 7-11
[Loveland]

Directed by Glenna Knapp
Music direction by Steve Estep
Vocal direction by Becky Jones
Choreographed by Sonja Hanson & Izzy Jones
Produced by Greg Smith

GROOVY! is a celebration of the hippies and flower children of the 1960s. Travis, Muriel and Alice decide to throw a free Music, Beads and Flowers Celebration. A popular singing group, the Lemon Bugs, love the idea and donate their talent. Everything is going nicely until Mrs Porter, who hates ‘The Love Generation’, shows up and demands that the local police close it down. You will love the wildly funny characters and great ’60s style songs including: ‘Anything is Possible’, ‘Lemon Bugs in a Lemon Air-o-plane’, ‘Brothers and Sisters’ and, naturally, ‘Groovy’! It’s fast! It’s funky! And it’s groovy, all right. In fact, it’s the best celebration in town.

INDECENT Runs July 1-11

Commonwealth Artists Student Theatre
July 1-11
The Carnegie [Covington]

Directed by Michael Sherman

By Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Paula Vogel, is a deeply moving play inspired by the true events surrounding the controversial 1923 Broadway debut of Sholem Asch’s God of Vengeance—a play seen by some as a seminal work of Jewish culture, and by others as an act of traitorous libel. INDECENT charts the history of an incendiary drama and the path of the artists who risked their careers and lives to perform it.

Sorg Opera House [Middletown]

Directed by Richard Lee Waldeck
Music directed by Sarah Plaugher
Choreographed by Maddy Weinkam

From musical theatre greats Stephen Schwartz (Wicked) and John Caird (Les Miserables) comes a joyous and inspirational musical about parents, children, and faith…plus centuries of unresolved family business!  Adam, Eve, Noah, and the “Father” who created them deal with the headstrong, cataclysmic actions of their respective children. The show ultimately delivers a bittersweet but inspiring message: that “the hardest part of love… is letting go.”
