Lumos Players
Oct. 25-27
Lakeview United Church of Christ [Maineville]

Directed by Corey Nieman
Music directed by Katie Personke
Choreographed by Laurie Murphy
Produced by Jennifer Martin

Cast: Erich Geoppinger as Charlie Brown, Ilona Piaskowy as Lucy Van Pelt, Kim Toft as Sally Brown, Amy Trojanski as Linus Van Pelt, Chip Undergrove as Schroeder, Alex Soldano as Snoopy, Paul Hahn as Woodstock & Aaliyah Porter, Lillian Martin & Sabrina Toft as Friends of Woodstock

Charles Schulz’s beloved comic comes to life in Clark Gesner’s classic musical, YOU’RE A GOOD MAN, CHARLIE BROWN. The whole gang is here: bossy Lucy is hopelessly in love with piano prodigy Schroeder who doesn’t give her the time of day, perfectionist Sally is still mocking blanket-toting Linus, Snoopy is in the doghouse, and “blockhead,” himself, Charlie Brown, is in rare form. Brief vignettes span the months from Valentine’s Day to Beethoven Day, from wild optimism to utter despair. This show is considered rated G and is appropriate for all ages.

Official cast list |

The Villains’ Institute for Learning Evil (V.I.L.E.)  is where all the famous storybook villains go to learn their wicked ways.  Like any school, V.I.L.E.  has its own social groups:  The Monsters, who are always hungry and love to scare people; the Witches, who make a mean brew; the Convicts, who are expert thieves and con-artists; and the Misfits, who just don’t fit in.  There are also the Evil Geniuses, who rule the school and are at the top of the food chain.  But everything is turned upside down when the smart and talented new student, Frank Stein, shows up and challenges the status quo.  Things get even worse when he falls head over heels in love, because love is strictly forbidden at Villain School.  That’s why Heidi Jekyll, the object of Frank’s desire, wants nothing to do with him.  That is, until the potion she concocts for the science fair goes awry, transforming her into a sugary sweet princess.  Faced with potential expulsion and certain embarrassment, will the forces of evil ultimately tear them apart, or will true love prevail?

UC College-Conservatory of Music
Oct. 24-27
Corbett Auditorium [University Heights]

Directed and co-choreographed by Diane Lala
Co-choreographed by Katie Johannigman
Music directed by Roger Grodsky

The ultimate show-biz musical, 42nd Street celebrates Broadway, Times Square and the people who make the magic of musical theatre. Aspiring chorus girl Peggy Sawyer comes to the big city from Allentown, Pennsylvania, and soon lands her first big job in the ensemble of a glitzy new Broadway show. But just before opening night, the leading lady breaks her ankle. Will Peggy be able to step in and become a star? The score is chock-full of Broadway standards, including “You’re Getting To Be A Habit With Me,” “Dames,” “We’re In the Money,” “Lullaby of Broadway,” “Shuffle Off to Buffalo” and “Forty-Second Street.”

Cast: A.J. Breslin as James, Rae Buchanan as Jewels, Jenna Valyn as Tess & Chris Hahn as Moses, Chris Jones as Pinocchio/Gabe, Jillian Mitchell as Cinderella & Jada Gee as Tinker Bell!

Jewels returns to New Jersey after her father’s death and joins her mother and her sister Tess to prepare for the funeral. She returns home at the same time a hurricane is heading towards the Jersey shores. During these seven days, she also decides to visit four women: victims, lovers, and friends of her father, a Pentecostal pastor who lost his church and family in sexual scandal twenty years earlier. As she breaks their code of silence, Jewels finds herself in a poetic and magical world of Bible verses and hurricanes and a collection of childhood characters from Moses and Tinker Bell to Cinderella and the Little Mermaid. Together, Jewels and her friends, search for the faith she lost and the father she thought she knew.

Memorial Hall [Over-the-Rhine]

We all have them… dates we acknowledge every year, as a tribute to past accomplishments, special events, or significant losses. Whether with parties, phone calls, cards, or just quiet contemplation, these are the things we re-visit year after year. At trueANNIVERSARY, we’ll be celebrating these events with stories.

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.
