Patricia Corbett Theater [University Heights]

Directed by Susan Felder

CCM’s 150th anniversary Mainstage season opens with one of Shakespeare’s most classic tragedies. Hamlet returns from college to find something rotten in his home town. A deadly game of cat and mouse ensues between Hamlet and his uncle, the King. Shakespeare’s thriller plunges audiences into the madness of family disillusionment, lost romance, betrayal, murder, suicide and the existential question of what it means to be human. “What a piece of work is a man!”

Studio 88 Theatre [Oxford]

Directed by Saffron Henke

Meet the staff at The Flick, a run-down movie theatre in New England. Sam has a thing for Rose, but she’s not much interested. Rose is drawn to newcomer Avery, who finds the movies a perfect escape from life. Sometimes funny, sometimes poignant, this Pulitzer prize-winning play explores the boundaries of class and race as the characters search for connection in the face of change.

MR. JOY
Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park
Sept. 23-Oct. 22
Shelterhouse Theatre [Eden Park]

Directed by Nicole A . Watson

Performed by Debra Walton

What happened to Mr. Joy? A Harlem community is shaken when Mr. Joy, a Chinese immigrant whose shoe repair shop has been a neighborhood pillar for decades, is the victim of a sudden and violent attack. Through the lens of nine of Mr. Joy’s customers – all brought to life by one actress – we learn the subtly profound and unassuming impact the shop owner has had on each of their lives. Poignant, thoughtful and stirring, Mr. Joy invites you to celebrate the power of the invisible ties that bind us all. Written by Playhouse favorite and Dayton native Daniel Beaty! MR. JOY is appropriate for adults and older teenagers. The show is a depiction of individual hardships in an inner-city community of Harlem, New York, and contains adult language and realistic narratives describing violence.
