ARCADIA Runs Oct. 4-12

VP_Arcadia logoARCADIA by Tom Stoppard
Village Players
Oct. 4-12
[Fort Thomas]

Directed by jef brown

Cast: Gretchen Schultz as Thomasina Coverly, Bryce Willson as Septimus Hodge, Oliver Kai Davis as Jellaby, Josh Roden as Ezra Chater, Wayne Kirsch as Richard Noakes, Jeannine Allee as Lady Croom, Bill Brohaugh as Capt. Brice, Aubrey Wilson as Hannah Jarvis, Ashley Wuerdeman as Chloe Coverly, BJ Simpson as Bernard Nightingale, Stephen Sticker as Gus/Augusta Coverly & Alexander Walz as Valentine

Arcadia moves back and forth between 1809 and the present at the elegant estate owned by the Coverly family. This brilliant play moves smoothly between the centuries and explores the the nature of truth and time, the difference between classical and romantic temperaments, and the disruptive influence of the sex on our life orbits– the attraction Newton left out.

Greater Hamilton Civic Theatre
Oct. 3-6
Miami University Hamilton – Parrish Auditorium

Directed by Katelyn Fox
Produced by Tracy Botos & Mark Lunsford

Cast: Katelyn Fox as Dotty Otley/Mrs. Clacket, Cindy Wilmes as Brooke Ashton/Vicki, Kristin Lee Schisler as Belinda Blair/Flavia Brent, Maggie Winsted as Poppy Norton-Taylor, Patrick Nieman as Lloyd Dallad, Matt Santeler as Garry Lejeune/Roger, Dylan McGill as Frederick Fellows/Phillip Brent/Sheikh, Travis Theiss as Selsdon Mowbray/Burglar & Chase Engel as Timothy Allgood

Called “the funniest farce ever written,” Noises Off presents a manic menagerie of actors rehearsing a flop called Nothing’s On. Doors slamming, on and offstage intrigue, and an errant herring all figure in the plot of this hilarious and classically comic play.
