“A series of magnificent narrative songs, performed just perfectly… An absolute triumph of music, production and mischievous willingness to unnerve.” -Edmonton Journal (Five Stars)

“The stand out musical performance of the 2013 Kansas City Fringe Festival… The Coldharts have a not to be missed hit on their hands.” -KCMetropolis.org

“Splendidly moving vocals, exquisite guitar aristry and rich emotional range convey genuinely epic storytelling. This production evokes an atmosphere, forlorn, spectral and sacred.” -Minneapolis Star Tribune

1967, Detroit. When their parents die, Chelle and Lank inherit their childhood home. To make ends meet, the siblings host “basement parties,” spinning the newest records to come out of Motown, a risky business as police crack down on after-hours joints in black neighborhoods. But when a mysterious white woman finds her way into their care and a string of raids increases police brutality around the city, they find themselves much more divided than over just the family business. Content advisory: This production contains strong language and adult themes and may not be suitable for all audiences.

DPH_Fix Me Jesus logoFIX ME, JESUS
Presented by Dayton Playhouse
March 13-22
Dayton

Directed by Brian Sharp

Cast: Rachel Wilson as Annabell, Sofia Shannon as Young Annabell, Tina McPhearson as Mrs. Craig, Cassandra Engber as Mother, Pam McGinnis as Grandmother & Mike Beerbower as Dr. Feld

In a Neiman Marcus changing room in Dallas, on the most important day of her life, Annabell Armstrong frantically searches for the perfect dress. A rising star in the Texas Democratic Party, Annabell is trapped in the Reagan eighties. Her political career, love affair, finances, and family relations are in crisis; and strong-minded characters from her past begin to appear from behind the changing room mirror. FIX ME, JESUS is a dark comedy—the hilarious, timely, and poignant story of a woman who finds herself at the epicenter of history and politics, struggling for personal independence and social justice against the lifelong theft of her own power.
