Beavercreek Community Theatre
Oct. 26-Nov. 4
[Beavercreek]

Directed by Matt Owens

Cast: Shanna Camacho as Alison, Samantha Stark as Medium Alison, Lauryn Templeton as Small Alison, Shawn Hooks as Bruce, Adee McFarland as Helen, Jenna De Gruy as Joan, Benjamin Jones as Christian, Eric Pettit as John & Aaron Brewer as Roy and Others

When her father dies unexpectedly, graphic novelist Alison dives deep into her past to tell the story of the volatile, brilliant, one-of-a-kind man whose temperament and secrets defined her family and her life. Moving between past and present, Alison relives her unique childhood playing at the family’s Bechdel Funeral Home, her growing understanding of her own sexuality, and the looming, unanswerable questions about her father’s hidden desires. Fun Home is a refreshingly honest, wholly original musical about seeing your parents through grown-up eyes.

Directed by Tony Copper

Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant young scientist, returns to his Swiss chateau to escape a terrible pursuer. No one can shake free the dark secret that terrifies him: not his mother, nor his fiancee, nor his best friend. Even the pleading of a gypsy girl accused of murdering Victor’s younger brother falls on deaf ears, for Victor has brought into being a creature made from pieces of the dead. The creature tracks Victor to his sanctuary to demand a bride to share its loneliness. Against his better judgment, Victor agrees and soon the household is invaded by murder, despair and terror!

Ever think what would have happened if Dorothy didn’t immediately follow the celebrated yellow brick road? When Dorothy is sidetracked by a farmer offering an alternate route to the wizard’s front door — in the form of a mysterious map, Glinda the Good is furious. After all, she wants to be a storybook hero, and the story will be ruined if Dorothy doesn’t meet her three friends along the yellow brick road. Meanwhile, the Wicked Witch of the West is thrilled with the alternative route, which will rewrite the story and possibly save her from her watery fate.
