Faithfully, Nick goes “over the river” to Grandma’s house every week for Sunday dinner. When he is offered an important promotion in Seattle, Washington, Nick threatens to break this routine by a distance of some 2,800 miles! Frank, Aida, Emma, and Nunzio are heartbroken at the prospect of their beloved grandson raising a family all the way across the country — or worse, not raising a family at all! Besides the usual tactics of emotional blackmail, in order to keep him safe at home, these wily elders cook up a matchmaking scheme, inviting lovely nurse Caitlin O’Hare over for Sunday dinner. Will the prospect of true love keep Nick from moving across the country?

Middletown Lyric Theatre

[Middletown]

Directed by Charley Shafor

Cast: Betty Coulter as Grandmother, Melodie LaNicca as Mrs. Craig, Megan Rehberg as Annabell, Jef Smith as Dr. Maxwell Feld, Emma Sweeten as Young Annabell & Amanda West as Mother

In a Dallas Texas, Neiman Marcus changing room, on the most important day of her life, Annabelle Armstrong frantically searches for the perfect dress. A rising star in the Texas Democratic Party, Annabelle is trapped in the Reagan eighties. Her political career, love affair, finances, and family relations are in crisis; and strong-minded characters from her past begin to appear from behind the changing room mirror. FIX ME, JESUS is a dark comedy—the hilarious, timely, and poignant story of a woman who finds herself at the epicenter of history and politics, struggling for personal independence and social justice against the lifelong theft of her own power. This production contains adult language.

SSCC Theatre
April 5-7
Edward K Daniels Auditorium [Hillsboro]

Directed by Rainee Angles

Cast: Juliane Cartaino as Hester Swayne, Billy Henry as Carthage Kilbride, Riley Griffin as Josie Kilbride, Bronwyn Jones as Mrs. Kilbride, Leslie Holmes as Monica Murray, Paula Campagna as The Catwoman, Jeff Horick as Xavier Cassidy, Emma Horick as Caroline Cassidy, Shawn Thomsen as The Ghost Fancier, Matthew Waits as The Ghost of Joseph Swayne, Ian Holmes as Young Dunne, Bob Brown as Father Willow & Jackson King as Other Waiter

Loosely based on Euripides’ tragedy Medea, this is the prophetic tale of Hester Swane, an Irish Traveller, who attempts to come to terms with a lifetime of abandonment in a world where all whom she has loved have discarded her. Set on the bleak, ghostly landscape of the Bog of Cats, this provocative drama discloses one woman’s courageous attempts to lay claim to that which is hers, as her world is torn in two.
