Town Hall Theatre
Feb. 14-16
[Centerville]

Calling all superheroes!  The citizens of Nova City need a patron superhero to save them from the evil clutches of the nefarious Colonel Mustard and his sidekick Hemlock.  So what do they do?  They hold an audition, of course!  Legions of fantastic, incredible, and uncanny characters descend upon City Hall hoping the mayor and police commissioner might marvel at their strange powers, which range from super strength to super speed, from mind reading to animal whispering, from quoting Shakespeare to pointing out irony.  When Colonel Mustard unleashes a surprise attack on City Hall, both the mighty and the average must join together to bring justice and security to Nova City.

OF MICE AND MEN Runs Feb. 13-29

FLI_Of Mice and Men logoOF MICE AND MEN
Footlighters Inc.
Feb. 13-29
Stained Glass Theatre [Newport]

Directed by Jim Curtis
Produced by Katie McCarthy, Amanda Emmons Shumate & Janet Wisner

Cast: Jay Woffington as George, Eric Day as Lennie, James Hummeldorf as Slim, Bill Hartnett as Candy, Rick Hunt as Curly, Katey Blood as Curly’s Wife, BJ Simpson as Carlson, Peter Merten as The Boss, Patrick Coyle as Patrick & Charles McClinon as Crooks

John Steinbeck’s classic tale features two migrant workers, drifter George and his mentally challenged friend Lennie, arriving at a ranch to work for enough money to pursue their dream of owning their own farm. Lennie is a man-child, a little boy in the body of a dangerously powerful man. It’s Lennie’s obsession with things soft and cuddly that have made George cautious about who the gentle giant, with his brute strength, associates with. But when the unexpected happens, their dreams take a drastic and tragic turn. In an effort to stay true to the time period and John Steinbeck’s work, Footlighters’ production of OF MICE AND MEN will be performed unedited. This production contains language and themes prevalent to the time period and may be offensive to some audience members.

THE MUSICAL COMEDY MURDERS OF 1940 Runs Feb. 13-23

BCT_The Musical Comedy Murders of 1940 logoTHE MUSICAL COMEDY MURDERS OF 1940
Brookville Community Theatre
Feb. 13-23
[Brookville]

Directed by Debbi Robbins

Cast: Jessica Booth as Helsa Wenzel, Kate Gaston as Elsa Von Grossenknueten, Brandon Brigeman as Michael Kelly, Jonathon Thomas as Patrick O’Reily, James Nelson as Ken De La Maize, Megan Renney as Nikki Crandall, Stephen Kallenberg as Eddie McCuen, Lori Alejandro as Marjorie Baverstock, Alain Alejandro as Roger Hopewell & Sheryl Koontz as Bernice Roth

The team responsible for a recent Broadway flop (in which three chorus girls were murdered by the mysterious “Stage Door Slasher”) assemble for an audition of their new show at the Westchester estate. The house is replete with sliding panels, secret passageways and a German maid; all of which figure diabolically in the comic mayhem which follows when the infamous “Slasher” makes his reappearance and strikes again—and again. When a blizzard cuts off any possible retreat, bodies start dropping, fingers start pointing, and police start bumbling.

CLYBOURNE PARK Runs Feb. 13-16

UC College-Conservatory of Music
Feb. 13-16
Patricia Corbett Theater [University Heights]

Directed by Richard E. Hess

CLYBOURNE PARK was awarded the 2011 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the 2012 Tony Award for Best Play. Inspired by Lorraine Hansberry’s A Raisin in the Sun (1959), the play explodes in two high-powered acts set 50 years apart. It imagines events in a racially-charged America and reveals that underneath a house in a typical neighborhood, racial fault lines run deep and wide. This production contains strong language.
