ANGEL STREET Runs March 7-16

ANGEL STREET
Beavercreek Community Theatre
March 7-16
[Beavercreek]

Directed by David Shough

Cast: Mike Beerbower as Mr. Manningham, Megan Cooper as Mrs. Manningham, Jim Walker as Rough, Caitlin Larsen-Deer as Elizabeth, Olivia Burchfield as Nancy & TBA as Policemen

A Broadway hit first produced on the West End under the title Gaslight and filmed twice, Angel Street tells the story of the Manninghams, who live on Angel Street in 19th century London. As the curtain rises, all appears to be the essence of Victorian tranquility. It is soon apparent, however, that Mr. Manningham, a suavely handsome man, is slowly driving his gentle, devoted wife, Bella, to the brink of insanity with an insinuating kindness that masks more sinister motives.

Ken Ludwig’s MOON OVER BUFFALO Runs March 6-23

Ken Ludwig’s MOON OVER BUFFALO
Mariemont Players
March 6-23
[Walton Creek]

Directed by Aaron Whitehead

Cast: John Conrard as George Hay, Alicia Friedman as Charlotte Hay, Barb Timmins as Ethel, Aimée Ward as Rosalind, Evan Blanton as Howard, Kristin Schisler as Eileen, Josh Stothfang as Paul & Christie Bishop as Richard

Ken Ludwig’s Moon Over Buffalo is a sidesplitting comedy that dives into the chaotic world of showbiz and family. Set in 1953, it follows George and Charlotte Hay, a washed-up acting duo performing in Buffalo, New York, who get a last chance at stardom when a Hollywood director plans to see their show. Chaos ensues as mistaken identities, romantic entanglements, and hilarious misadventures threaten to derail their big break. With fast-paced humor and larger-than-life characters, this farcical romp guarantees an evening of laughter and theatrical mayhem.

ENGLISH Runs March 1-30

ENGLISH
Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park
March 1-30
Shelterhouse Theatre [Eden Park]

Directed by Kimberly Senior

Cast: Aryana Asefirad as Goli, Fady Demian as Omid, Sanam Laila Hashemi as Elham, Neagheen Homaifar as Marjan & Leyla Modirzadeh as Roya

The 2023 winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama takes the Playhouse stage! The setting is 2008 Iran. Four Iranian adults gather in a classroom to learn English with the hopes of passing the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language). Humor, word games and vulnerability abound as they use iconic early-2000s cultural touchstones, including Ricky Martin and rom-coms, to navigate the mechanics of language. But as Marjan, their Iranian-born English teacher, abolishes their native tongue from the classroom, questions and conflicts about identity seep slowly into their minds and hearts. Equal parts touching and funny, this new play from Sanaz Toossi offers a revelatory glimpse into the human desire to belong. ENGLISH is recommended for ages 13 and up. As they explore the trials and tribulations of learning a new language, the characters use some strong adult language and discuss themes of prejudice and discrimination.
