HAND TO GOD
Warsaw Federal Incline Theatre
Jan. 23-Feb. 9
[East Price Hill]

Directed by Dylan Shelton

Cast: Alex Slade as Jason, Karie Gipson as Margery, Brian Anderson as Pastor Greg, Jack Kremer as Timothy & Hope Pauly as Jessica

After the death of his father, meek Jason finds an outlet for his anxiety at the Christian Puppet Ministry, in the devoutly religious, relatively quiet small town of Cypress, Texas. Jason’s complicated relationship with the town pastor, the school bully, the girl next door, and – most especially – his mother are thrown into upheaval when Jason’s puppet, Tyrone, takes on a shocking and dangerously irreverent personality all its own.  HAND TO GOD explores the startlingly fragile nature of faith, mortality, and the ties that bind.

trueSH*T on Jan. 23

Jan. 23
Memorial Hall [Over-the-Rhine]

Some take it (and some can’t). Some give it (and some couldn’t). Some have shoveled it, are full of it, or have been emptied of it (intentionally or quite by “accident”). One thing is for sure… you do not want to step in it! Yes, we’re talking about “sh*t” and so will our storytellers in January! ..and that’s no bull!

Now in their 10th season, True Theatre continues to produce quarterly one-night-only events featuring five people, from all walks of life, sharing true, personal stories, based on the theme of the evening.

RENT 20th Anniversary Tour
Victoria Theatre Association
Jan. 21-26
Schuster Center Mead Theatre [Dayton]

In 1996, an original rock musical by a little-known composer opened on Broadway… and forever changed the landscape of American theatre. Two decades later, Jonathan Larson’s RENT continues to speak loudly and defiantly to audiences across generations and all over the world. And now, this Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning masterpiece returns to the stage in a vibrant 20th anniversary touring production. A re-imagining of Puccini’s La Bohème, RENT follows an unforgettable year in the lives of seven artists struggling to follow their dreams without selling out. With its inspiring message of joy and hope in the face of fear, this timeless celebration of friendship and creativity reminds us to measure our lives with the only thing that truly matters — love.
