This rousing adaptation of the 1970 Oscar-nominated film “Scrooge” tells the timeless tale of the infamous miser’s supernatural encounters on Christmas Eve. A wonderful musical score by Oscar and Grammy Award-winning composer Leslie Bricusse (“Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory”) brings Charles Dickens’ classic novel “A Christmas Carol” to life like never before.

A STEADY RAIN Runs Oct. 31-Nov. 8

A STEADY RAIN
Beechmont Players Inc.
Oct. 31-Nov. 8
Gabriel’s Corner [Over-the-Rhine]

Directed by Ed Cohen

Cast: Dan Cohen as Danny & Rick Grant as Joey

A dark duologue filled with sharp storytelling and biting repartee, A Steady Rain explores the complexities of a lifelong bond tainted by domestic affairs, violence, and the rough streets of Chicago. Joey and Denny have been best friends since kindergarten, and after working together for several years as policemen in Chicago, they are practically family: Joey helps out with Denny’s wife and kids; Denny keeps Joey away from the bottle. But when a domestic disturbance call takes a turn for the worse, their friendship is put on the line. The result is a harrowing journey into a moral gray area where trust and loyalty struggle for survival against a sobering backdrop of pimps, prostitutes, and criminal lowlifes.

Church of Our Saviour/La Iglesia de Neustro Salvadore [Clifton]

World premiere staged performance

The Shards of an Honor Code Junkie is an autobiographical story of a young homosexual Mormon man who embarks on a journey of self-love and acceptance while challenging Brigham Young University’s staunch eight Honor Code Rules. This contemporary musical celebrates the love-tenants that are part of the Mormon faith, while confronting some of the less-supportive aspect of student culture at the University. CCM Musical Theatre has been working closely with writer/composer Blake Allen to bring his 2021 chart-topping concept album to life on stage for the first time. In the words Blake Allen: “I hope that the story of Shards…can help those in dark corners to feel loved and find some light.” Please be aware that this production contains themes of drug usage, emotional abuse & its aftermath, suicide, non-consensual physical intimacy, eating disorders, religion.

Free, reservations required.
