Royal Theatre Company
June 7-9
Mason High School Theatre

Directed by Dirk Doebereiner
Choreographed by Jay Goodlett
Production Managed by Karen Kilgore

When Ren and his mother move from Chicago to a small farming town, Ren is prepared for the inevitable adjustment period at his new high school. What he isn’t prepared for are the rigorous local edicts, including a ban on dancing instituted by the local preacher, determined to exercise the control over the town’s youth that he cannot command in his own home. When the reverend’s rebellious daughter sets her sights on Ren, her roughneck boyfriend tries to sabotage Ren’s reputation, with many of the locals eager to believe the worst about the new kid. The heartfelt story that emerges is of a father longing for the son he lost and of a young man aching for the father who walked out on him.

Human Race Theatre Company
June 13-30
Loft Theatre [Dayton]

Directed by Jamie Cordes
Music direction by Jay Brunner
Choreographed by Katie Johannigman

Cast: Natalie Bird as Emma, Deanna Giulietti as Lizzie, Leslie Goddard as Bridget, Rachel Mary Green as Understudy & Michaella Waickman as Alice

“Lizzie Borden took an ax…” And we know what happened next. Or, do we? It’s a powerhouse rock-show retelling of the sensational—and bloody—double murder that shocked New England in the summer of 1892, as told through the fierce performances of four stellar actresses. What starts as the abuse and despair of a troubled woman results in a shocking act of revenge when she takes a hatchet to her oppressive father and stepmother. Charged with the killing of her parents, Lizzie becomes a media sensation even as the trial takes its toll on the relationships with those dearest to her. This show contains references to abuse, murder and sexual situations.
