One of the opera world’s greatest legends takes center stage as Maria Callas gives three aspiring singers a rough introduction to the reality of performing. During a series of master classes, this controversial personality now in the twilight of her career remains fearless as she looks back upon her life—the triumphs and heartbreaks, the egos and ambitions, the glories and the scandals.

Commonwealth Theatre Company
June 8-26
NKU Stauss Theatre [Highland Heights]

Directed by Nathan Gabriel

San Francisco, 1966. Andy and Norman are two young radicals barely making a living publishing their magazine that nobody reads. Everything’s swell until Sophie, an all-American girl and self-described “religious follower of Sports Illustrated”, moves in next door, sending the boys into a romantic tail spin. Will a love-fest, a love-triangle, a love-in, a sit-in, or a political falling-out ensue? The fun and freewheeling play out with the masterly skill and inventiveness that are the hallmarks of a Neil Simon comedy.
