NOISES OFF!
Cincinnati Shakespeare Company
May 18-June 9
[Over-the-Rhine]

The drama onstage is nothing compared to the drama backstage in Michael Frayn’s hysterical, fast-paced British sex farce about putting on a hysterical, fast-paced British sex farce. Lines, props, and pants are dropped in equal proportion as the bedraggled cast struggles valiantly to keep their production from going entirely off the rails. Don’t miss this fall-out-of-your-chair-funny production, where the sardines and the slamming doors abound.

Fairfield Community Arts Center

Directed by Heidi Schiller
Music direction by Mark Durbin
Produced by James Davis

Cast: Sam Downs as Man #1, Tara Bridge as Woman #1, Jake Spicer as Man #2 & Michelle Faulkner as Woman #2

This celebration of the mating game takes on the truths and myths behind that contemporary conundrum known as ‘the relationship.’ Act I explores the journey from dating and waiting to love and marriage, while Act II reveals the agonies and triumphs of in-laws and newborns, trips in the family car and pick-up techniques of the geriatric set. This hilarious revue pays tribute to those who have loved and lost, to those who have fallen on their face at the portal of romance, to those who have dared to ask, ‘Say, what are you doing Saturday night?’

Directed by Wayne Dunn
Produced by Dawn Stone

In a rural fishing lodge in Georgia, Froggy LeSueur, a British demolitions expert who sometimes runs training sessions at a nearby military installation, is trying to put his friend, Charlie Baker at ease. Charlie, a proofreader whose wife finds him boring, has come along for a much needed getaway. The problem is he is pathologically shy and is terrified at the prospect of having to converse with strangers at the lodge for three days.

Froggy must leave to tend to his military responsibilities. But, before leaving for the base, he “solves” Charlie’s problem, Hilarity ensues and mysteries are revealed as Charlie, at first unwillingly, interacts with the Lodge’s inhabitants: Betty Meeks, the owner; Catherine Simms, a local debutante; Ellard Simms, her dimwitted younger brother; David Lee, a local minister and Catherine’s fiancee; and Owen Musser, county property inspector,

THE WEDDING SINGER is a pop-rock musical based on the hit film of the same name. The Wedding Singer takes audiences back in time when hair was big, greed was good and collars were up. It’s 1985 and rock-star wannabe Robbie Hart is New Jersey’s favorite wedding singer. He’s the life of the party, until his own fiancée leaves him at the altar. Shot through the heart, Robbie makes every wedding as disastrous as his own.
