The Underground at Know [Over-the-Rhine]

Directed by Bridget Leak

Cast: Erika Kate MacDonald as Sadie, Christopher Richardson as Andy, Paul Strickland as Paul & Trey Tatum as Trey

Andy always was an unusual man, running a store that was part ever-changing emporium of oddities, part Museum of Unmailed Loveletters. When Sadie, his old school crush, comes back to town for her father’s funeral, she shows up at the store with a mysterious machine…over and over and over again. Paul and Trey recount the strange events of the summer they met, working in Andy’s House of [blank]. This small town, mystery-spot musical graduates from Serials! Thunderdome to become a full length show about unrequited love, second chances, and what it means to change your world.

Grandson of the infamous Victor Frankenstein, Frederick Frankenstein (pronounced “Fronk-en-steen”) inherits his family’s estate in Transylvania. With the help of a hunchbacked side-kick, Igor (pronounced “Eye-gore”), and a leggy lab assistant, Inga (pronounced normally), Frederick finds himself in the mad scientist shoes of his ancestors. “It’s alive!” he exclaims as he brings to life a creature to rival his grandfather’s. Eventually, of course, the monster escapes and hilarity continuously abounds.

Set in a Maine coastal village toward the end of the 19th century, Carousel is the story of carefree carnival barker Billy Bigelow and his reckless adventures with women, gambling and the wrong side of the law. Billy loses his job just as he learns that his wife is pregnant and, desperate to provide a decent life for his family, is coerced into being an accomplice to a robbery. Caught in the act and facing the certainty of prison, he takes his own life and is sent “up there.” 15 years later, Billy is allowed to return to earth for one day and encounters the daughter he never knew. How Billy instills in both the child and her mother a sense of hope and dignity is a dramatic testimony to the power of love.
