DPH_Whales of AugustTHE WHALES OF AUGUST
Presented by Dayton Playhouse
March 14-23
Dayton

Directed by John Riley

Cast: Dave Gaylor, Chuck Larkowski, Dodie Lockwood, Marcia Nowik & Gayle Smith

Our journey takes us to the shores of Maine in August, 1954 where we get to know two elderly, widowed sisters near the end of their lives. As they spend their summer, once again in this seaside house, the surroundings cause them to recall their relationship as young women. They reflect on the passage of time, and the bitterness, jealousies and misunderstandings that slowly festered over the years and kept them from establishing a true closeness in their relationship.

CP_Irish Curse logoTHE IRISH CURSE
Presented by Clifton Players
Feb. 28-March 15
Clifton

Directed by Cathy Springfield

Cast: Michael Bath, Carter Bratton, Kevin Crowley and Buz Davis & Pete Wood

Size matters to this small group of Irish-American men who meet every Wednesday night, in a Catholic church basement, at a self-help group for men with small penises. This allegedly Irish trait is the focus of their weekly whining as they feel this shortcoming has ruined their lives. When a 20-something blue-collar guy joins the group, he challenges everything these men thought about “the Irish curse,” tackling their obsession with body image and unmasking the comical and truthful questions of identity, masculinity, sex, relationships, and social status that define their lives.

THE STORY OF MY LIFE follows the friendship of Alvin and Thomas, two men from a small town. These lifelong friends are reunited after Alvin’s mysterious death.
