EMILIA Runs Feb. 13-15

EMILIA
UC College-Conservatory of Music Acting
Feb. 13-15
Patricia Corbett Theater [University Heights]

Directed by Bridget Leak

What became of Emilia Bassano, poet and contemporary of William Shakespeare? Was she his “Dark Lady” of the sonnets? What does it mean to be reduced to a footnote in a man’s story? In this bold reimagining, Emilia reaches across time to speak for women — mothers, lovers, thinkers, muses — who dare to be seen and heard on their own terms. Hilarious and heart-breaking, Emilia features an all-female cast portraying multiple Elizabethan characters.

As the dozen jurors try to reach a unanimous decision while sequestered in a room, one juror casts considerable doubt on elements of the case. Personal issues soon rise to the surface, and conflict threatens to derail the delicate process that will decide one boy’s fate.

ASSASSINS Runs Feb. 28-March 9

SCT_AssassinsASSASSINS
Springboro Community Theatre
Feb. 28-March 9
Springboro Performing Arts Center

Directed by Tim Rezash

Cast: Kyle Miller as John Wilkes Booth, TJ Montgomery as The Balladeer/L.H. Oswald, Lynn Vanderpool as Sara Jane Moore, Hayley Penchoff as Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme, Nick Bellmyer as Samuel Byck, Jose Gutierrez del Arroyo as Giuseppe Zangara, Ben Essex as John Hinckley, Aaron J. Brewer as Charles Guiteau, Drew Williams as Leon Czologosz, Jason Lakes as The Proprietor, Lindsey Cardoza as Emma Goldman & Bennett Cardoza as Billy
Ensemble: Quin Tyler, Lilly Robillard-Crissman & Amy Brady

ASSASSINS is a musical with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and a book by John Weidman, based on an original concept by Charles Gilbert, Jr. Using the framing device of an all-American, yet sinister, carnival game, the semi-revue portrays a group of historical figures who attempted (successfully or not) to assassinate Presidents of the United States and explores what their presence in American history says about the ideals of their country. The score is written to reflect both popular music of the various depicted eras and a broader tradition of “patriotic” American music.
