Falcon Theatre
Jan. 26-Feb. 10
Newport

Directed by Ed Cohen

Cast: Rory Sheridan as Katurian, Michael Monks as Michal, Joe Hornbaker as Tupolski & Nathan Tubbs as Ariel

In an unnamed totalitarian state, a writer whose macabre fairy tales are eerily similar to a series of child murders is interrogated by government officials. The unsettling and thoroughly startling story that follows is an unblinking examination of the power, nature, and purpose of art. ADVISORY:  This play contains graphically violent content.

If it can be said that everyone has a story to tell, then it is probably also true that everybody has a song in their heart. Whether sung or heard, songs mark our milestones and remind us of those special moments in our lives. Come hear stories about the songs that made a difference… for better or for worse!

FIVE WOMEN WEARING THE SAME DRESS Runs Jan. 25-Feb. 11

WFIT_Five Women promoFIVE WOMEN WEARING THE SAME DRESS
Warsaw Federal Incline Theater
Jan. 25-Feb. 11
[East Price Hill]

Directed by Dee Anne Bryll

Cast: Talia Noelle Zoll as Tricia, Merrit Beischel as Mindy, Erin Carr as Georgeanne, Brianna Bernard as Frances, Audrey MacNeil as Meredith & Matt Krieg as Tripp

During an ostentatious wedding reception at a Knoxville estate, five reluctant, identically clad bridesmaids hide out in an upstairs bedroom, each with her own reason to avoid the proceedings below. They are Frances, a painfully sweet but sheltered fundamentalist; Mindy, the cheerful, wise-cracking lesbian sister of the groom; Georgeanne, whose heartbreak over her own failed marriage triggers outrageous behavior; Meredith, the bride’s younger sister whose precocious rebelliousness masks a dark secret; and Trisha, a jaded beauty whose die-hard cynicism about men is called into question when she meets Tripp, a charming bad-boy usher to whom there is more than meets the eye. As the afternoon wears on, these five very different women joyously discover a common bond in this wickedly funny, irreverent and touching celebration of the women’s spirit.
