Directed by Alecia Lewkowich

Cast: Ian Kramer as Martin, Merritt Beischel as Kate, Angel Zachel as Izzy, Alec Bowling as Douglas & Michael Shooner as Leonard

The play looks at a post-graduate writing seminar led by a jaded professor who seems more interested in criticizing his students than teaching them. As we begin to know the students and teacher, we find that we are learning about the true price of success and failure.

Directed by Heath Grooms

The play is set in fog-bound London in 1880 at the lower middle class home of Jack Manningham and his wife Bella, a seemingly normal couple. It turns out that the suave Mr. Manningham is slowly torturing his wife into insanity under the guise of kindness. Soon, Bella is visited by a Scotland Yard inspector, Rough. He tries to convince her that her husband is a maniacal criminal wanted for a murder committed 15-years-ago. Join us in finding out if Jack is innocent or a sociopath guilty of gaslighting his wife by manipulating her sense of reality.

Clifton

Reviews |

Directed by Kevin Crowley

Cast: Leah Strasser as Rebecca, Ben Dudley as Brandon, Carol Brammer as Annie and various, & Phil Morris as Dr. Wilcox and various

A comedy about Brandon and Rebecca, a match made in the Rapture. When people suddenly begin to disappear, Brandon’s Southern Baptist roots and Rapture preparedness leave him armed with a Bible, bottled water, canned food, and a mouthpiece (for the gnashing of teeth). Brandon finds his “save my soul” mate in Rebecca, a pre-med atheist, who joins him on a journey from New York City to Arkadelphia, Arkansas in hopes of finding the New Jerusalem. This pitch black comedy explores faith, love, and the American landscape.

Presented by Human Race Theatre Company
Jan. 30-Feb. 16
Dayton

Directed by Scott Stoney

Featuring Jamison Stern

Poignant and filled with witty, sharp humor, Fierstein’s deeply personal story of self-discovery redefined an era in gay America. What begins as a chance encounter in a New York nightclub leads drag-queen Arnold Beckoff in a hilarious, yet touching, pursuit of love, happiness and a life of which he can be proud. From a failed affair with a reluctant lover, to a committed relationship with a young model and the promise of a stable family, Arnold’s struggle for acceptance meets its greatest challenge in his intolerant mother. This production contains adult content.
