Beatrice and Benedick are the perfect match. It’s too bad they can’t stand each other. When their war of wits comes to a head, their friends decide there’s only one thing to be done- trick the hapless couple into falling hopelessly love. They set in motion a series of plots, pranks, plans and ploys all designed to bring the cynical Benedick and spirited Beatrice into a “mountain of affection.” Will their scheming succeed, or will it all be Much Ado About Nothing?

Dayton Theatre Guild

Directed by Marjorie Strader
Produced by Barb Jorgensen

Cast: Ray Geiger as Tom Durnin, Tim Madden as James Durnin, Ryan Kelly as Katie Nicholson, Ryan Shannon as Chris Wyatt & Karen Righter as Karen Brown-Canedy

Tom Durnin did the time for his white-collar crime. Now, he’s determined to win back the respect he believes he deserves—even if that means ripping apart the new life his family has so carefully put together in his absence. Tom’s son warily allows his father to camp out on his couch, hoping the man who let everyone down has finally turned a new page. After a lifetime of empty promises, can Tom find a place in a family that has worked so hard to move on without him?

GOD OF CARNAGE
Warsaw Federal Incline Theatre
Nov. 17-Dec. 4
East Price Hill

Directed by Kristin Clippard

Cast: Martha Slater as Veronica, Brent Alan Burington as Michael, Rory Sheridan as Alan & Carol Brammer as Annette

Following a playground fight between two boys, their parents meet to discuss the incident. But a rational discussion among adults quickly deteriorates into displays of tears, surprising outbursts and deeply hidden emotions laid bare. A streamlined dissection of the human animal, God of Carnage delivers the cathartic release of watching other people’s marriages go boom! The building tension between civilized surface and savage instinct brings shocked laughter, riveting drama and no-hold-barred suspense. Elegant, acerbic and entertainingly fueled on pure bile, God of Carnage is a wild theatrical ride.

ROSENCRANTZ AND GUILDENSTERN ARE DEAD Runs Nov. 16-20

mu_rosencrantz-and-guildenstern-are-dead-logoROSENCRANTZ AND GUILDENSTERN ARE DEAD
Miami University
Nov. 16-20
Gates-Abegglen Theatre [Oxford]

Directed by Lewis Magruder

Acclaimed as a modern tragicomedy masterpiece, the story follows the inventive tale of Hamlet as told from the absurd points of view of the bewildered Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, two minor characters in Shakespeare’s classic. This internationally acclaimed play is playwright Tom Stoppard’s most famous work, an absurd and clever journey where reality and illusion intermix.
