Victoria Theatre Association
Oct. 2-7
Schuster Center [Dayton]

SCHOOL OF ROCK is a New York Times Critics’ Pick and “an inspiring jolt of energy, joy and mad skillz!” (Entertainment Weekly). Based on the hit film, this hilarious new musical follows Dewey Finn, a wannabe rock star posing as a substitute teacher who turns a class of straight-A students into a guitar-shredding, bass-slapping, mind-blowing rock band. This high-octane smash features 14 new songs from Andrew Lloyd Webber, all the original songs from the movie, and musical theater’s first-ever kids rock band playing their instruments live on stage. Vanity Fair raves, “Fists of all ages shall be pumping!” Contains some mild adult language.

Falcon Theatre
Sept. 28-Oct. 13
[Newport]

Directed by Tracy M. Schoster

Cast: Kyle Daniels as Adam, Becca Howell as Janet, Ted J. Weil as Ray & Terry Gosdin as Palmer

Just when you thought you’d heard every crazy 9/11 conspiracy theory, a stranger walks into the Yankee Tavern. There, inside the walls of this crumbling New York tavern, a young couple finds themselves caught up in what might be the biggest conspiracy of all. Steven Dietz’s acclaimed and already widely produced dramatic thriller, a selection of the National New Play Network’s Continued Life Projectis a fierce, funny, and ultimately mind-bending work of theatrical power that grips you until the final word. What you don’t know can hurt you.

Sunset Players
Sept. 28-Oct. 13
The Arts Center at Dunham [West Price Hill]

Directed by Don Frimming

Cast: Jeri Nakamura as Rhonda Lynn Futrelle, Denise Schnieders as Honey Raye Futrelle, Becky Cole as Twink Futrelle, Erin Marie Schwartz as Frankie Futrelle Dubberly, Tim Carney as John Curtis Buntner, Jim Swartwout as Dub Dubberly, Nick Dunker as Raynerd Chisum, Karson McCall as Gina Jo Waverly, Nick Young as Justin Waverly, Elaine Michael as Geneva Musgrave, Cathy Woodruff as Iney Dubberly &  Wyn Jones as Ms. Dayva Davidson

The Futrelle sisters are in a heap of trouble. Their beloved hometown of Fayro, Texas, is in danger of disappearing, and it’s up to the sisters to save it from extinction by luring a salsa manufacturing factory to town. To seal the deal, Honey Raye, who leads the Chamber of Commerce, makes promises to woo the salsa company rep to choose Fayro. So now it’s up to her sisters and the citizens of Fayro to pull together, turn her promises into reality and save their town using their Southern strength and ingenuity, which is a recipe for total hilarity.

THE LAST DAYS OF JUDAS ISCARIOT Runs Sept. 28-Oct. 6

VP_The Last Days of Judas IscariotTHE LAST DAYS OF JUDAS ISCARIOT
Village Players
Sept. 28-Oct. 6
[Fort Thomas]

Directed by Dan Maloney

Cast: Nathan Henegar as Judas Iscariot, Meagan L. Blasch as Fabiana Aziza Cunningham, Scott Unes as Yusef El-Fayoumy, Chris Bishop as Judge Littlefield/Caiaphas the Elder, C.J. Bossart as Jesus of Nazareth, Michael Ireland as Satan, Heather Abbott as Saint Monica, Kaitlyn Moss as Gloria/Mary Magdalene, Susan Unes as Henrietta Iscariot, Dan Maloney as Butch Honeywell, Peter Merten as Pontius Pilate, Julia Hedges as Bailiff, Rose Vanden Eynden as Mother Teresa, Kenny Tessel as Saint Matthew/Saint Thomas/Drunk Uncle Pino/Sigmund Freud, Chris Payne as Saint Peter/Matthias of Galilee/Simon the Zealot & Amy Sullivan as Loretta/Sister Glenna

Hilarious and thought-provoking, this play asks one of the most intriguing questions in Christian ideology:What happened to Judas? Was he the duplicitous master of his own fate, a much-suffering pawn, or just a man who made a mistake? Set in a courtroom in Purgatory and featuring a zany cast of characters, “Iscariot” is sure to make audiences reconsider forgiveness, faith and one of history’s most infamous figures. ADULT THEMES AND STRONG LANGUAGE.
