[Dayton]

Directed by Brian Sharp

Winner of two Tony Awards, three Drama Desk Awards and a Theatre World Award, The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas is a barrel of laughs featuring memorable songs and tap-dancing cowboys. It is the late 1970s, and a brothel run by Miss Mona Stangley who happens to be on good terms with local sheriff Ed Earl Dodd, has been operating outside of fictional Gilbert, Texas for more than a century. When crusading television reporter, Melvin P. Thorpe, decides to make the illegal activity an issue, political ramifications cause the place to be closed. This glorious salute to Texas is a barrel of laughs!

DISASTER! Runs Sept. 12-Nov. 3

LAC_Disaster logoDISASTER!
La Comedia Dinner Theatre
Sept. 12-Nov. 3
[Springboro]

Earthquakes, tidal waves, infernos and the unforgettable songs of the ’70s take center stage in Broadway’s side-splitting homage to classic disaster films.

It’s 1979, and all of New York is at the opening of a floating casino and disco. What begins as a night of boogie fever quickly changes to panic as the ship succumbs to multiple disasters.

With larger-than-life characters, snappy dialogue and ’70s, hit songs such as “Hooked On A Feeling,” “I Am Woman,” “I Will Survive,” and “Hot Stuff,” Disaster! is a hilarious tribute to the era of bell-bottoms, platform shoes and the “Hustle.”

Human Race Theatre Company
Sept. 12-29
The Loft Theatre [Dayton]

In 1959, Billie Holiday, or “Lady Day” as she was called, performed one of her final shows in a run-down bar in South Philly. In Robertson’s award-winning play, Holiday engages the audience with salty, often humorous reminiscences of her troubled life as a travelling performer in a segregated south. With the help of her piano man, Jimmy Powers, she lets music tell her story, sharing soulful, heart-wrenching and bawdy songs from her memorable canon including: “Strange Fruit,” “God Bless the Child,” “When a Woman Loves a Man,” and “Taint Nobody’s Business If I Do.”
