TROY_Proof logoPROOF
Troy Civic Theatre
March 6-15
The Barn in Troy Civic Park

We are aware of current concerns regarding COVID-19. As with any other illness, if you are sick, we encourage you to stay home and rest.

In regards to the upcoming ban on public gatherings: Our theatre audiences are currently expected to be under 80 (including cast and crew) over the next three performances of Proof. This number is under the recommendation being issued by Governor DeWine. We are therefore planning on the show continuing to be presented as planned. If you have any questions or concerns, you are welcome to reach out to the theatre box office at 937.339.7700, or through FB messenger. Thank you, and we hope to see you in the audience!

Directed by Nicole SueAnn Wallace

Cast: Rachel Smith as Catherine, Steve Dietrich as Robert, T.J Montgomery as Hal & Sarah Caplan as Claire

Catherine, the daughter of an esteemed mathematician, has just lost her father, who died after suffering from a prolonged mental illness. Robert was a gifted, ground-breaking professor, but as he lost his sanity, he lost his ability to work with numbers. Having inherited Robert’s talent for numbers brings Catherine to worry about the future of her own mental health. With her sister Claire in town for the funeral and her father’s previous grad student Hal going through Robert’s papers, Catherine brings forward a ground-breaking math proof that could change the field. But who wrote it: the brilliant professor during his 9 months of lucidity or his daughter, who dropped out of her math program during her undergrad? PROOF is a story of family, friendship, trust, love, and mental health.

Xavier University Theatre Adds Matinee Performance of HEATHERS: THE MUSICAL on Sunday, Feb. 9

(CINCINNATI, Feb. 5, 2020) – Xavier University Theatre will add a matinee performance of Heathers: The Musical at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 9. All other remaining performances of the show are currently sold out. Patrons may contact the box office by phone to be added to a waiting list for shows on Thursday, Feb. 6; Friday, Feb. 7; and Saturday, Feb. 8.

Veronica Sawyer is a brainy, beautiful misfit who hustles her way into the most powerful and ruthless clique at Westerberg High School. But before she has time to get comfortable atop the teenage food chain, Veronica falls in love with the dangerously sexy new kid, J.D. When the almighty Heather Chandler kicks her out of their group, Veronica decides to bite the bullet and kiss Heather’s aerobicized ass … until J.D. suggests a more sinister plan for that bullet. Written by Laurence O’Keefe and Kevin Murphy and based on the 1989 cult classic movie starring Winona Ryder and Christian Slater, Heathers is a hilarious, heartfelt, and homicidal show based on one of the all-time great teen comedies.

Tickets for the added performance are available through the Gallagher Student Center Box Office. They are $18 each for adults and $13 each for students, as well as Xavier faculty and staff. To purchase tickets, visit http://www.xavier.edu/theatretickets or call 513-745-3939.

THE MUSICAL COMEDY MURDERS OF 1940 Runs March 6-15

LTC_The Musical Comedy Murders logoTHE MUSICAL COMEDY MURDERS OF 1940
Lebanon Theatre Company
March 6-15
[Lebanon]

Directed by Abby Smith
Produced by Kurt Percy

Cast: Nathanael Blair as Helsa Wenzel, Karla Meeker as Elsa Von Grossenknueten, Tim Fingerle as Michael Kelly, Brian Laughlin as Patrick O’Reilly, Brian Trainer as Ken De La Maize, Elizabeth Beatty as Nikki Crandall, Michael Cline as Eddie McCuen, Gina Davidson as Marjorie Baverstock, Woody Goldsmith as Roger Hopewell & Gwendolyn Gay as Bernice Roth

The creative team responsible for a recent Broadway flop (in which three chorus girls were murdered by the mysterious “Stage Door Slasher”) assemble for a backer’s audition of their new show at the Westchester estate of a wealthy “angel.” The house is replete with sliding panels, secret passageways and a German maid who is apparently four different people- all of which figure diabolically in the comic mayhem that follows when the infamous “slasher” makes his reappearance and strikes again.

  • Fri, March 6 at 6pm (includes dinner)
  • Sat, March 7 at 8pm
  • Sun, March 8 at 2pm
  • Fri-Sat, March 13-14 at 8pm

A MID-SUMMER NIGHT’S TEXAS-SIZED NIGHTMARE Runs March 6-15

Beavercreek Community Theatre Youth Theatre
March 6-15
[Beavercreek]

Cast: Miranda Ammon as Abigail Yokle, Ethan Arnold as Demetrius, Laura Badenhop as Snug, Eli Baranowski as Egeus, Gwen Broderick as Snout, Jesse Burns as Huntsman, Emily Cvitkovich as Helena, McKenna Delaney as Cowgirl, Allison Fischer as Hippolyta, Griffin Greear as Peter Quince, Cowgirl – Cecilia Green as Cowgirl, Cowgirl – Delilah as Cowgirl, Cowgirl – Isabelle Hibner as Cowgirl, Ziggy Kamil as Nick Bottom, Ayla Kempf  as Cowgirl, Molly Mayne as Cowgirl, Joel Meyer as Robin Starvling, Ally Miller as Puck, Aiden Moore as Oberon, Braden Phelps as Lysander, Sullivan Rasmussen as Philostrate, Brielle Ruggs as Hermia, Ava Seeley as Tatania, Lily Smith as Flute, Scarlett Southard as Cowgirl, Julia Stubbs as Stage Manager & Jacob Thompson as Theseus

The Armadillo Flats Community Theater has never produced what one would call quality entertainment. Abigail Yokle is trying to direct one of Shakespeare’s great comic masterpieces, but the budget is limited and the rental company sent costumes for every production except A Midsummer-Night’s Dream. Yet Abigail is not about to let the wrong costumes and a lack of talent stand in the way of a bad production. The actors appear as characters from the 1920s, the 1950s, a cat, a lumberjack, a disco dancer, a sailor and a host of characters from other shows. Locals also use the theater to advertise businesses and make political speeches. Other distractions include an audience member who forgets to silence a cell phone and a snake that crawls into the theater through a hole in the wall.

Dayton Playhouse
March 6-15
[Dayton]

Cast: Saul Caplan as Sheridan Whiteside, Shana Fishbein as Maggie Cutler, George Merusi as Bert Jefferson, Sydney Edington as Mrs. Preen, Matt Lindsay as Dr. Bradley, Jeff Christmas as Mr. Stanley, Susan Robert as Mrs. Stanley, Tina McPhearson as Harriet Stanley, Elisa Pacheco as June Stanley, Vaughn Foreit as Sandy, Jonathon North as Richard Stanley, Carly Laurette Risenhoover-Peterson as Lorraine Sheldon, Michael Hatcher as Beverly Carlton, Mark Diffenderfer as Banjo, Sean Mayo as John, Tamar Fishbein as Sarah, Janet Wasson as Mrs. McCutcheon, Jim Spencer as Prof. Metz & Todd Bryant, Brent Eresmon & John Wysong as Convicts, Radio Men & Officers, Etc.

A brilliantly witty madcap play which manages to combine the sophistication of great comedic literature, the frenetic energy of the silliest farce and a genuinely sweet heart into one of the most beloved comedies of the American theater. Filled with fascinating character roles and winking homage to the intellectual and popular culture of the 1930s, this play is both a great period piece and a timeless classic.
