NIGHT WATCH Runs March 10-19

ltc_night-watch-logoNIGHT WATCH
Lebanon Theatre Company
March 10-19
Lebanon

Directed by Jessica Tucker

Unable to sleep, Elaine Wheeler paces the living room of her Manhattan townhouse, troubled by unsettling memories and vague fears. Her husband tries to comfort her, but when he steps away Elaine sees (or believes she sees) the body of a dead man in the window across the way. The police are called, but find nothing. Elaine’s terror grows as she sees still another body—this time a woman’s—but by now the police are skeptical and pay no heed to her frantic pleas. Her husband, claiming that Elaine may be on the verge of a breakdown, calls in a psychiatrist, who agrees with his suggestion that Elaine should commit herself to a sanitarium for treatment. Elaine’s old friend and house guest Blanche; the inquisitive and rather sinister man who lives next door; and the nosy German maid Helga—all contribute to the deepening suspense and mystery of the play as it draws towards its riveting and chilling climax.

Sharonville Cultural Arts Center

Directed by Karen Vanover

Cast: Esther Cunningham, Patty Grasty, Julie Jordan, Albert Kinnett, Joe Kozak, Russ McGee, Steve Murphy, Glenn Schaich, Doug Tumeo, Jim Waldfogle & Richard Zenk

In this superlative mystery comedy, statuettes of little soldier boys on the mantle of a house on an island off the coast of Devon fall to the floor and break one by one as those in the house succumb to a diabolical avenger. A nursery rhyme tells how each of the ten “soldiers” met his death until there were none. Eight guests who have never met each other, or their apparently absent host and hostess, are lured to the island and, along with two house servants, are marooned. A mysterious voice accuses each of having gotten away with murder and then one drops dead – poisoned. One down and nine to go!

Walton Creek Theatre

Directed by Laura Berkemeier
Produced by Rebecca Wiesman

Cast: Patrick Kramer as Andy Hobart, Joshua Broughton as Norman Cornell & Brieanne Sheehan
as Sophie Rauschmeyer

THE STAR-SPANGLED GIRL is the story of a hilarious love triangle between two life-long friends and (literally) the girl next door. It’s San Francisco in the late 1960s and the political climate is tense; Andy and Norman are radical liberals struggling to make a living through their political magazine “Fallout”. Sophie, an aspiring Olympic swimmer, and as American as apple pie, moves into their building and captures Norman’s affections, but they are not reciprocated. Norman’s obsession with Sophie forces Andy to hire her at the magazine just to keep Norman focused on writing for the cause. What happens next threatens both the future of the magazine and Norman and Andy’s friendship.
