In a Gotham-like city, a terrible water shortage, caused by a 20-year drought, has led to a government-enforced ban on private toilets.

Amid the people, a hero decides that he’s had enough and plans a revolution to lead them all to freedom!

AN EVENING OF CULTURE Runs July 11-20

AN EVENING OF CULTURE
Stage Right Musical Theatre Company
July 11-20
Williamstown Performing Arts Center

AN EVENING OF CULTURE is non-stop laughter from beginning to end. The fictional Mineola Council for Cultural Recognition is working diligently to mount a production of Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet” in the gymnasium of the Mineola Magnet Middle School, but life keeps getting in the way. Even if the cast doesn’t quite have their lines memorized, the set isn’t quite finished, and a dog keeps barking offstage, they are still determined to give it a go!

THE SIGN IN SIDNEY BRUSTEIN’S WINDOW Runs July 10-27

THE SIGN IN SIDNEY BRUSTEIN’S WINDOW
Mariemont Players
July 10-27
[Walton Creek]

Directed by David Derringer
Produced by Natasha Boeckmann and Kelly Holtgrefe

Cast: Chad Brinkman as Sidney Brustein, D’Waughn Hazard as Alton Scales, Anna Hazard as Iris Parodus Brustein, Mike Nalley as Wally O’Hara, Christie Bishop as Max, Katie Jensen as Mavis Parodus Bryson, Michael Sanchez  as David Ragin & Molly Simpson as Gloria Parodus

Lorraine Hansberry’s second Broadway play is the probing, hilarious and provocative story of Sidney, a disenchanted Greenwich Village intellectual, his wife Iris, an aspiring actress, and their colorful circle of friends and relations. Set against the turmoil of a stormy 1964 political campaign, the play follows its characters in their unorthodox quests for meaningful lives in an age of corruption, alienation and cynicism. With compassion, humor and poignancy, the author examines questions of morality, ethics, interracial relationships, drugs, rebellion, conformity, global responsibility and the fragility of love.

THE TRAGEDIE OF MACBETH Runs July 10-13

THE TRAGEDIE OF MACBETH: The Blessed Feast of Holinshed
Southbank Shakespeare
July 10-13
Thomas More University Observatory Lawn [Crestview Hills]

Directed by Timothy Andrew Leonard

Cast: David Goble as Macbeth & Elizabeth Durham as Lady Macbeth
Dutiful Chorus: Parker Culp, Sophia DiPuccio, Natalie Hayslett, Jun Holubeck, Ashley Matt, Joe Mitchell, Regan Utrup & Anna Verderber

FREE Performance – Estimated to have been written and first performed in 1606, The Scottish Play has been a centerpiece of Shakespeare’s canon since its inception. The tale of witchcraft, prophecy, and bloody ambition has fueled countless ghost stories over the years, and is sure to fill countless more as years continue to fold over and over. Join us this summer as we travel thousands of years divorced from Shakespeare’s pen, and enter an age when the context dividing secular and religious scripture has been completely forgotten. Witness the small nomadic tribe pass through our land as they make their yearly sacrifice to ensure successful migration to more fertile lands, and pray to their Gods for a bountiful harvest.
