Directed by Sara Clark

Cast: Jeremy McCombs, Jeremy Dubin & Nick Rose

What better way to celebrate the completion of the entire Shakespeare canon than by doing it all over again – in one evening! The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) features three actors on a mission: to bring the entirety of Shakespeare’s works to life on the stage in one fell swoop. Gallop along with us as we careen wildly through all the comedies, histories and tragedies using a trunkful of props, wigs, and outrageous costumes – it’s a joyous Shakespeare jambalaya you definitely don’t want to miss.

Macbeth, a brave Scottish general, receives a prophecy from a trio of witches that one day he will become King of Scotland.

FST_logoTHE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE
Presented by Fairfield Summer Theatre
July 24-27
Fairfield

Directed by Ryan Heinrich
Choreographed by Emily Brinkman
Produced by Pat Heinrich

Cast: Emma Jordan as Rona Lisa Peretti, Ryan Heinrich as Douglas Panch, Scott Christian as Mitch Mohoney, Olivia Yokers as Olive Ostrovsky, Drew Helton as William Barfee, Chelsey Cavender as Logainne Schwartzandgrubenierre, Erin Heinrich as Marcy Park, Sean Jones as Leaf Coneybear & Darin Art as Chip Tolentino

An eclectic group of six mid-pubescents vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home life, the tweens spell their way through a series of [potentially made-up] words hoping to never hear the soul crushing, pout inducing, life un-affirming “ding” of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Six spellers enter; one speller leaves! At least the losers get a juice box. Parental guidance suggested

REPERTORY THEATRE Runs July 24-26

SOAW_Repertory TheatreREPERTORY THEATRE
Presented by Stone on a Walk Theatre
July 24-26
Over-the-Rhine

Directed by John Leo Muething

Cast: Patrick Phillips as The Playwright & Jonathan Long as The Artistic Director

A young, timid playwright goes to the office of the artistic director of a prestigious national theatre to discuss his debut play (which is definitely not about his father). With the playwright struggling to follow the train of thought of the neurotic, Hamlet-obsessed, plum-eating director, the interview goes from nerve-wrecking to insane when the theatre itself seems to be joining into the mayhem.
