Xenia

Directed by Tony Copper

Cast: Patrick Taylor as Baron Von Frankenstein, Olivia Ekler as Baroness Von Frankenstein, Joe DeTore as Ygor, Jenn Sparks as Frau Lurker, Nathan Russell as Harry Talbot, Lori Grissom as Isabel Channing, Christian Yates as Count Dracula, Kylee Pauley as Countess Dracula, Mike Frazier as The Doctor, Celeste Kuba as Ethel, Jim Buckner as Groat & Ka-Seet & Harry Wayne Shepard as the Spectre & the Creature:

This clever spin off of The House of Frankenstein finds the Baron, Baroness and their repulsive retainers, Igor and Frau Lurker, going to stay at a macabre Transylvania fortress. Excitement turns to terror when they are greeted by more than a few of their mortal (and immortal) enemies. They are to take part in an unholy survival test involving ghouls, ghosts and the fiendish Dr. Jekyll. The Frankensteins flee from cellar to attic, desperate to escape a fate worse than death!

THE FOX ON THE FAIRWAY
Covedale Center for the Performing Arts
Oct. 22-Nov. 15
West Price Hill

Directed by Bob Brunner

Cast: Traci Taylor as Pamela Peabody, David Roth as Henry Bingham, Renee Maria as Muriel Bingham, Allen R. Middleton as Dickie Bell, Michael Donohoe as Justin Hicks & Emily Mohler as Louise Heindbedder

A tribute from Ken Ludwig (Lend Me A Tenor, Moon Over Buffalo) to the great farces of the 1930s and 1940s, THE FOX ON THE FAIRWAY takes audiences on a hilarious romp which pulls the rug out from underneath the stuffy denizens of a private country club. Filled with mistaken identities, slamming doors, and over-the-top romantic shenanigans, it’s a furiously paced comedy that recalls the Marx Brothers’ classics. A charmingly madcap adventure about love, life, and man’s eternal love affair with… GOLF!

Oct. 22-Nov. 7
Stained Glass Theatre [Newport]

Big business means big laughs in this delightfully clever lampoon of life on the corporate ladder. A tune-filled comic gem follows the rise of J. Pierrepont Finch, who uses a little handbook called “How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying” to climb the corporate ladder from lowly window washer to high-powered executive. Finch tackles such familiar but potent dangers as the aggressively compliant “company man,” the office party, backstabbing co-workers, caffeine addiction and, of course, true love. HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS WITHOUT REALLY TRYING boasts an exhilarating score by Frank Loesser including “I Believe in You,” “Brotherhood of Man,” and “The Company Way.”
