MOON OVER BUFFALO
Northern Kentucky University
Sept. 24-Oct. 4
Highland Heights

Directed by Charlie Roetting

Cast: Melissa Cathcart as Charlotte Hay, Nate Doninger as George Hay, Ellie Chancellor as Rosalind, Colin Kissel as Paul, Leiren Jackson as Ethel, Kaleb King as Richard, Kyle Taylor as Howard & Katherine Sallee as Eileen
Ensemble: Audrey MacNeil, Andrew Ornelas, Kyle Reihmer & Dan Robertson

George and Charlotte Hay, fading stars of the 1950’s, are on a tour through Buffalo, New York, playing Private Lives andCyrano De Bergerac in rep. On the brink of a disastrous split-up caused by George’s dalliance with a young ingénue, they receive word that they might just have one last shot at stardom: Frank Capra is coming to town to see their matinee, and if he likes what he sees, he might cast them in his next big feature. Unfortunately for our leading players, everything that could go wrong does go wrong—including hilarious uncertainty about which play they’re actually performing. Will the pair pull themselves together in order to give the performance of their lives?

MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG Runs Sept. 18-27

Web Main MerrilyMERRILY WE ROLL ALONG
Beavercreek Community Theatre
Sept. 18-27
Beavercreek

Directed by Matt Owens

Cast: Jose Gutierrez del Arroyo as Frank, Matthew Glenn as Charles, Lynn Vanderpool as Mary, Danielle Kubasky as Beth, Danielle Janson as Gussie, Jeff Murphy as Joe & Sam McLain as Franklin Jr.
Ensemble: Alain Alejandro, Matthew Clifton, John Falkenbach, Tamar Fishbein, Kami Flanders, Allie Hill, Laura Jacobs, Courtney Kakac & Vicky Tuccillo

MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG begins in the present and moves backwards, tracing the lives of wealthy, jaded composer Franklin Shepard and his two estranged friends through each milestone of their personal and professional lives (good and bad). The show ends with a touch of rueful irony, as the three best friends at the start of their careers face a bright future: young, talented and enthusiastic about the worlds waiting to be conquered.
