EVELYN IN PURGATORY Runs Jan. 10-26

MPI_Evelyn in Purgatory logoEVELYN IN PURGATORY
Mariemont Players Inc.
Jan. 10-26
Walton Creek Theatre

Directed by Jennifer Keith
Produced by Betsy Bossart & Patrick Kramer

Cast: Heather Abbott as Evelyn, Cathy Ross as Lila, Aimée Ward as Candace Metzger, Evan Blanton as Toby Fleming, Chuck Ingram as Fred Disalvo, Chessie Vigran as Roberta Burke & Robert Weidle as Mr. Atwood

When a complaint is filed against one of the 70,000 teachers in New York’s public schools, they’re sent to a Reassignment Center, one of a series of empty offices in the Department of Education Building. There, they sit and wait for their case to be reviewed. Usually for months. Sometimes for over a year. A claim of improper behavior by a failing student lands Evelyn Reid in “the rubber room,” where she encounters a group of teachers, some guilty, some not, who have long since lost any hope of returning to a classroom. Over the course of the school year, these colleagues form an unlikely alliance, reminding each other of forgotten passions, emerging to face life outside in unexpected new directions. They also learn French and workshop a screenplay.

THE GLASS MENAGERIE Runs Jan. 10-19

Xenia Area Community Theatre
Jan. 10-19
[Xenia]

Directed by Mike Taint

Cast: Kyle Mercuri as Tom Wingfield, Amy Taint as Amanda Wingfield, Kristin Curby as Laura Wingfield & Ben Evory as Jim O’Connor, The Gentleman Caller

Awarded Best Play in 1945 by the New York Drama Critics’ Circle and acclaimed as Williams’s first great Broadway success, this emotionally devastating portrait of hope is a memory of Saint Louis in 1937.  Tennessee Williams’s autobiographical play introduces audiences to Tom Wingfield, an aspiring poet who toils in a shoe warehouse to support his overbearing mother, Amanda, and debilitatingly shy sister, Laura after being abandoned by their father. Amanda, originally from a genteel Southern family, regales her children frequently with tales of her idyllic youth and the scores of suitors who once pursued her.

CHARLOTTE’S WEB Runs Jan. 10-19

SCT_Charlottes WebCHARLOTTE’S WEB
Springboro Community Theatre
Jan. 10-19
Springboro Performing Arts Center

Cast: Sophia Schafer as Fern Arable, Andrew Wright as John Arable, Jordan Head as Martha Arable, Nick Barter as Avery Arable, Kirsten Cox as Homer Zuckerman, Hannah Pittenger as Edith Zuckerman, Ali McDonald as Lurvy, Shelby McCoy as Wilbur, Camden Garris as Templeton, Julia Kirk as Charlotte, Bethany Scearce as Goose, Kate Tamme as Gander, Sophia Shenk as Sheep & Makayla Pindroh as Lamb
Chorus members (narrators): Emma Hagerman, Sam Johnson & Aivy Do

The Children’s Literature Association named this “the best American children’s book of the past two hundred years,” and Joseph Robinette, working with the advice of E.B. White, has created a play that captures this work in a thrilling and utterly practical theatrical presentation. All the enchanting characters are here: Wilbur, the irresistible young pig who desperately wants to avoid the butcher; Fern, a girl who understands what animals say to each other; Templeton, the gluttonous rat who can occasionally be talked into a good deed; the Zuckerman family; the Arables; and, most of all, the extraordinary spider, Charlotte, who proves to be “a true friend and a good writer.” Determined to save Wilbur, Charlotte begins her campaign with the “miracle” of her web in which she writes, “Some pig.” It’s the beginning of a victorious campaign which ultimately ends with the now-safe Wilbur doing what is most important to Charlotte. This is a beautiful, knowing play about friendship.

Additional Audition Date Announced FLAMINGO COURT at Tri-County Players

TCP_logoFLAMINGO COURT by Luigi Creatore

Directed by Gregg Robertson
Produced by Gregory Carl Smith

Dec. 15 from 6pm to 8pm

The Bell Tower Art Pavilion – 3270 Glendale Milford Rd Evendale, OH 45241

Production Date: February 14, 15, 20, 21, 22 at 8 & Sunday the 23rd at 3

Flamingo Court is made up of three short plays all taking place in an apartment building where several retirees live. Angelina, in 104, is a Neil-Simonesque piece where resident Angelina starts to fall for her neighbor Dominic. The only problem is her sick husband in the other room. Surprises abound as their mutual friend tightropes between being matchmaker and keeping each of their secrets.

Clara, in 204, is the shortest piece and also more somber of the three. Clara is suffering from memory loss and struggles with the idea of being away from her husband, Arthur, in a nursing home.

Harry, in 304, deals with an eighty-nine year-old gentleman who is trying to celebrate his birthday his way; with a hooker. Upon the arrival of his daughter and son-in-law who are trying to get every last penny they can out of their father, Harry has to get even more crafty with his stories.

  • ANGELINA – (60 +) Italian, caring, moved a Year ago from Brooklyn.
  • MARIE – (40 +) A matchmaker, nosy, abrupt, a trouble maker, says what she thinks.
  • Angelina’s neighbor and best friend.
  • DOMINIC – (60+) Italian. Sensitive, gullible. A man of honor. Romantic.
  • CLARA – (60 +) Gentle, firm, opinionated. She has early stage dementia.
  • ARTHUR – (60 +) Her husband. To the point, strong direction, knows what he wants.
  • HARRY – (60 +) Celebrating his eighty-ninth birthday. Determined, feisty, crusty character.
  • MARK – (25+) A hearing-aid salesman. Polite, honest, intelligent.
  • CHARITY – (40 +)Harry’s daughter. Pushy, overbearing, controlling.
  • WALTER – (40 +) Charity’s husband. A lawyer. Spineless, completely dominated by his wife.

The role of CHI CHI – A hooker has been precast

Come one – Come all, but as usual there is a strong need for men
