Kettering

Directed by Aaron Brewer

Cast: Chelsey Hall as Meredite, Jordan Eechaute-Lopez as Trisha, Summer Lehman as Frances, Carrie Thurston as Georgeanne, Carly Risenhoover-Peterson as Mindy & Don Hurst as Tripp

Five very different bridesmaids find themselves hiding together in an upstairs bedroom, hoping to escape the wedding reception of a bride that — they soon realize — none of them really like! There is Meredith, the rebellious little sister of the bride; Frances a highly religious, but sweet cousin; Mindy, a blunt, good-hearted lesbian who is the sister of the groom; Georgeanne, a friend from high school whose marriage is falling apart; and Trisha, a jaded beauty whose pessimism and doubts about men are proved false when she meets Tripp Davenport, an usher at the wedding. In this cramped bedroom above the wedding, these five identically dressed women talk, laugh, argue, cry, console one another, and slowly become friends. –StageAgent.com

LTC_Curtains logoCURTAINS
Lebanon Theatre Company
Sept. 25-Oct. 4
Lebanon

Directed by Cherie Cooper-Darragh
Produced by Kurt Purcey

Set in Boston, Massachusetts in 1959, CURTAINS follows the fallout when the supremely untalented star of Robbin’ Hood of the Old West is murdered during her opening night curtain call. It is up to Lt. Frank Cioffi, a police detective who moonlights as a musical theatre fan, to save the show, solve the case, and maybe even find love before the show reopens. All without getting killed himself. With music by John Kander and lyrics by Frank Ebb, this Tony-winning Broadway classic is not to be missed.

Official cast list (scroll down) |

Set in Damon Runyon’s mythical New York City, Guys And Dolls is an oddball romantic comedy. Gambler Nathan Detroit tries to find the cash to set up the biggest craps game in town while the authorities breathe down his neck; meanwhile, his girlfriend, nightclub performer Adelaide, laments that they’ve been engaged for 14 years. Nathan turns to fellow gambler Sky Masterson for the dough, but Sky ends up chasing the straight-laced missionary Sarah Brown. Guys And Dolls takes us from the heart of Times Square to the cafes of Havana, Cuba, and even into the sewers of New York City. But eventually everyone ends up right where they belong.

Sept. 18-19
Over-the-Rhine 

Directed byRegina Pugh

Cast: Willemien Patterson, Jodie Linver, Derek Snow, Sydney Ashe & Jacob Biel

Folk and Fairy Tales provide a rich moral tapestry to explore – full of surrealism, magical and ridiculous moments and gory content that make our modern sensibilities uncomfortably tingly. This ensemble devised work uses ancient story content to create an energetic romp into the questionable world of morality and how it has been imposed on us through the cautionary tales of our childhood.
