VTA_Peter and the Starcatcher logoPETER AND THE STARCATCHER
Presented by Victoria Theatre Association
June 9-14
Dayton

Imagine a creaking frigate with an orphan boy in its hold, a disguised pirate ship following in the distance, and a trunk carrying stardust — the kind that could let a child float in air or freeze him in time. A theatrical prequel to Peter Pan, this magical play takes you on a journey using the power of storytelling to chronicle the adventures of an orphan soon to be called Peter Pan, and Molly, a girl charged to protect a parcel of stardust from falling into the wrong hands. The winner of five Tony Awards, this swashbuckling adventure will have you hooked from the moment you let your imagination take flight. PETER AND THE STARCATCHER is the innovative and imaginative play based on the best-selling novel by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson. Recommended for ages 13 and up.

FOLIE EN FAMILLE on June 9

CPI_Folie en Famille logoFOLIE EN FAMILLE
Presented by Cincinnati Playwrights Initiative
June 9
Downtown

Written by Traci Taylor

What’s a young social worker to do when she encounters a family in which a dead son is not quite gone, but back via rodent reincarnation? Family Madness, indeed, but not so easily dismissed…especially because, before his demise, the late Bobby Cutter had a distinctly hostile relationship with the family cat.

BYE BYE BIRDIE Runs June 4-13

ESP_Bye Bye Birdie logoBYE BYE BIRDIE
Presented by East Side Players
June 4-13
Blue Ash

The year is 1958, and the much-adored rock-and-roll idol — Conrad Birdie — has been drafted into the US army. His songwriter and agent, Albert, and Albert’s secretary and lover, Rosie, hatch a plan for a farewell performance to take place on the Ed Sullivan show, which they hope will help sell Birdie’s new song “One Last Kiss”, and ultimately save Almaelou records from going under. To cap off the performance, Birdie will actually give ‘one-last-kiss’ to Kim MacAfee, an avid member of the Conrad Birdie fan club from Sweet Apple, Ohio.

When Albert and Rosie head to Sweet Apple to prepare for Birdie’s arrival, things start to unravel. Kim’s father is starstruck at the thought of being on Ed Sullivan with his daughter, and Kim’s new steady, Hugo gets jealous at the thought of Kim kissing Conrad on national television. –StageAgent.com
