GLORIA: A LIFE Runs Feb. 27-March 15

GloriaSteinamCompositeGLORIA: A LIFE
Human Race Theatre
Feb. 27-March 15
Loft Theatre [Dayton]

Directed by Marya Spring Cordes

Cast: Jennifer Johansen as Gloria Steinem, Rae Buchanan, Burgess Byrd, Eileen Earnest, Sherman Fracher, Andréa Morales & Aurea Tomeski

Fifty years after Gloria Steinem began raising her voice and advocating for others, her vision is as urgent today as ever. Described simply as “History. Her Story. Our Story,” this richly detailed tapestry is both inspiring and remarkable. Gloria believes in the necessity of conversation as a catalyst for change, and this new play offers us all a path forward in a way that only live theater can provide. We celebrate this award-winning journalist, social political activist, and nationally-recognized leader of the American feminist movement and Toledo, Ohio native. Rated PG-15. Parents strongly cautioned. Some material may be inappropriate for children under the age of 15.

Aronoff Center Fifth Third Bank Theatre [Downtown]

The ‘angels’ who are the title characters in Michael Oppenheim’s play are hospital personnel desperately trying to keep focus on patients and their healing in the face of budget-slashing administrators who look upon the bodies of the sick as commodities, matters of profit and loss.  The health heroes come across as kind of latter-day M*A*S*H medics, battling overwork, fatigue and budgetary assault with humor and compassion.

Cedarville University Theatre
Jan. 30-Feb. 9
DeVries Theatre [Cedarville]

Shy and plain young girl Catherine Sloper falls desperately in love with the charming and handsome Morris Townsend. Catherine’s father, a successful doctor forbids their marriage, fearing that the attraction Morris feels for Catherine may be more for her fortune than for her character. Catherine’s love for Morris is genuine but haunted by doubts regarding her appearance and lack of worldy experience. Her fears are realized when her proposed plan of an elopement fails to succeed, and she retreats into a world of loneliness. But when Morris returns and proposes to her once again, she responds in a shockingly unexpected way. His reaction leaves us to wonder whether Morris is sincere in his love for Catherine, or is rather the fulfillment of Catherine’s fears.
