CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF
Cincinnati Shakespeare Company
April 6-28
[Over-the-Rhine]

It is ‘Big Daddy’ Pollitt’s 65th birthday, and the rumors of his declining health have his predatory family on the prowl. As all scheme to secure the largest piece of his vast estate, relationships are tested, lies are exposed, and long-buried secrets at last come to light. This searing family drama by a true American master remains a potent exploration of the ties that bind, and sometimes strangle.

Sewn inside the doll are several grams of heroin. When a woman is murdered, the situation becomes more urgent.

DEAD MAN’S CELL PHONE Runs April 6-8

SSCC_Dead Mans Cell Phone logo.jlpgDEAD MAN’S CELL PHONE
SSCC Theatre
April 6-8
Southern State Community College [Hillsboro]

Directed by Rainee Angles
Choreographed by Micaela Countryman

Cast: Rainee Angles, Paula Campagna, Zanna Haines, Cheyra Harperee, Madison Hatfield, Bronwyn Jones, Andrew Marler, Eric Silcott,  & Sam Stephenson

An incessantly ringing cell phone in a quiet café. A stranger at the next table who has had enough. And a dead man—with a lot of loose ends. A play about how we memorialize the dead, and how that remembering changes us, it is the odyssey of a woman forced to confront her own assumptions about morality, redemption, and the need to connect in a technologically obsessed world.

OKLAHOMA! Runs April 5-29

CCPA_Oklahoma logoOKLAHOMA!
Covedale Center for the Performing Arts
April 5-29
[West Price Hill]

Directed & choreographed by Maggie Perrino
Music directed by Stephen Variames

Cast: Evan Koons as Curly McClain, Jessica Kaiser as Laurey Williams, Mike Sherman as Jud Fry, Heather Hale as Ado Annie, Logan Weinfurtner as Will Parker, Julia Hasl-Miller as Aunt Eller, Jamie Steele as Andrew Carnes, Brandon Bentley as Ali Hakim & Allison Dilbone as Gertie Cummings
Ensemble: Gabby Tollefsen, Lormarev Jones, Maria Broderick, Liam Sweeney, Peter Cutler, Zac Holman and Robert Fields

Set in a Western Indian Territory just as the turn of the century, the high-spirited rivalry between the local farmers and the cowboys provides the colorful background against which Curly, a handsome cowboy, and Laurey, a winsome farm girl, play out their love story.  Although the road to true love never runs smooth, with these two headstrong romantics holding the reins, love’s journey is as bumpy as a surrey ride down a country road.  That they will succeed in making a new life together we have no doubt, and that this new life will begin in a brand-new state provides the ultimate climax to triumphant OKLAHOMA!

BRIGHTON BEACH MEMOIRS Runs April 5-22

HRTC_Brighton Beach Memoirs logoBRIGHTON BEACH MEMOIRS
Human Race Theatre Company
April 5-22
The Loft Theatre [Dayton]

Directed by Marya Spring Cordes

Cast: Richard Buchanan as Stanley, Eric Deiboldt as Eugene, Lisa Ann Goldsmith as Kate, Julie Murphy as Laurie, Sonia Perez as Blanche, Rory Sheridan as Jack & Katie Sinicki as Nora

He has holes in his shoes and liver on the dinner table, but all teenage Eugene Jerome can think of is girls, baseball and writing—in that order. There’s hardly a moment’s peace in a house filled with his domineering mother, over-worked father, and worldly older brother, not to mention his widowed aunt and her two maturing daughters. Simon’s semi-autobiographical comedy about growing up in a crowded, lower middle class home in 1937 Brooklyn is a touching coming-of-age classic that proves no matter how crazy life gets, family can make it crazier.
