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. Some adult content.

FORTUNE Runs Jan. 18-Feb. 15

ETC_Fortune logoFORTUNE
Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati
Jan. 18-Feb. 15
[Over-the-Rhine]

Maude, aka Madame Rosa, is not your average fortune teller. A true clairvoyant with a bluntness that won’t quit, she often scares her customers away with the truth of what their futures hold. However, when love-hungry accountant Jeremy stumbles into her parlor with death in his imminent future, Maude tells a little white lie triggering supernatural consequences and changing both their destinies. In hilarious rom-com style, FORTUNE sweetly affirms the benefits of the unpredictability of life. Production contains mild adult content and may not be suitable for young audiences.

[Over-the-Rhine]

Directed by Brant Russell

Cast: Brandon Burton as Man & Elizabeth Chinn Molloy as Woman

A baby cries. A bottle breaks. A window smashes. In the small hours of the night, a couple try to soothe their screaming infant – but as the hours grow longer, the world becomes elastic around them, and the horrors that scar our planet threaten to crash into the baby’s room.
