Presented by Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park
April 19-May 17
Eden Park

Directed by KJ Sanchez

At the end of a long day of auditions, a playwright is convinced he’ll never find the right actress to play the heroine in his adaptation of a scandalous 19th century erotic novel. Enter Vanda, determined to prove she possesses the perfect blend of beauty, intelligence and sex appeal for the role. As the two act out the play, reality and fiction begin to blur in an electrifying cat-and-mouse game of love, seduction and power. Appropriate for adult and older teenage audiences. It is a sexual cat-and-mouse game. As such, it contains strong adult language, sexual themes and a scantily clad woman.

DTG_An Inspector CallsAN INSPECTOR CALLS
Presented by Dayton Theatre Guild
April 18-May 4
Dayton

Directed by David Shough

Cast: Charles Larkowski as Arthur Birling, Annie Branning as Sybil Birling, Caitlyn Maurmeier as Shiela Birling, Leonardo Santucci as Eric Birling, Maximillian Santucci as Gerald Croft, Christina Tomazinis as Edna, the Parlour-Maid & Dave Nickel as Inspector Goole

On an early April evening, 1912, the celebration dinner of a prosperous and prominent British family is interrupted when an Inspector calls, investigating the grisly suicide of a young working girl. One by one, the Inspector tears the family members out of their arrogance and complacency showing how each of them, in turn, is responsible for the girl’s death. What begins as a drawing room mystery turns to bombastic confrontations, and, in the end, a terrifying twist.

Lovingly ripped off from the classic film comedy “Monty Python and the Holy Grail,” SPAMALOT retells the legend of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table, and features a bevy of beautiful showgirls, not to mention cows, killer rabbits, and French people.

April 4-May 3
Over-the-Rhine

Directed by Kimberly Faith Hickman

Cast: Michael McKeogh & Jens Rasmussen

In an empty theatre, two actors meet while awaiting an audition. As tension between them mounts, they find themselves playing the story of a near forgotten piece of American history — a story from a time when people were prosecuted for daring to be themselves. But the truth of who these actors really are is slowly exposed as the story unzips.
