NIGHT WATCH Runs April 3-13

NIGHT WATCH

April 3-13
[Brookville, Oh.]

Directed by Saul Caplan

Heiress Elaine Wheeler is haunted by the horrific memory of her first husband’s affair and death, both of which she discovered at the same time. Afflicted with lifelong insomnia and aimlessly wandering her New York City townhouse one night, she sees something horrific in the building across the street. But nobody can find any evidence that what she saw actually happened. Her tender husband John and best friend Blanche try to convince Elaine that she is letting her nerves get the best of her, but the eccentric neighbor Appleby and testy German maid Helga start to hint that what is going on may not be what it seems.

THE BOOK OF MORMON
Broadway in Dayton

Schuster Center [Dayton]

The New York Times calls it “the best musical of this century.” The Washington Post says, “It is the kind of evening that restores your faith in musicals.” And Entertainment Weekly says, “Grade A: the funniest musical of all time.” Jimmy Fallon of “The Tonight Show” calls it “Genius. Brilliant. Phenomenal.” It’s THE BOOK OF MORMON, the nine-time Tony Award® winning Best Musical.

This outrageous musical comedy follows the adventures of a mismatched pair of missionaries, sent halfway across the world to spread the Good Word. With standing room only productions in London, on Broadway, and across North America, THE BOOK OF MORMON has truly become an international sensation.

CHANCERS Runs March 28-April 13

CHANCERS
Dayton Theatre Guild
March 28-April 13
[Dayton]

Directed by Marjorie Strader
Produced by K.L.Storer

Cast: Dustin Schwab as Aiden, Carly Risenhoover-Peterson as Dee, Jack O’Conner as J.P. & Cheryl Mellen as Gertie

Set in Ireland, about the lengths we will go to when our backs are against the wall. Aiden and Dee are on the verge of losing it all. They’ve had to rent out their home to a fellow from Dublin (who was previously Dee’s boyfriend), and move with their two young sons into the back of their nearly bankrupt convenience store. And now Dee is out at a job interview (which doesn’t go well). Aiden never thought their situation would come to this. But salvation may have arrived in the form of local battleaxe, Gertie Graham. She literally has their ticket out of the poorhouse — they just need to get their hands on it without her knowing
