Presented by Tri-County Players
Jan. 17-25
Sharonville

Directed by Judy Berrens

Cast: Steve Krieger as Sidney, Peggy Allen as Myra, Jeff Nieman as Clifford, Amy Sullivan as Helga & Neil Geoppinger as Porter

Sidney Bruhl, a successful writer of Broadway thrillers, is struggling to overcome a “dry” spell which has resulted in a string of failures and a shortage of funds. A possible break in his fortunes occurs when he receives a script from a student in the seminar he has been conducting at a nearby college—a thriller which Sidney recognizes immediately as a potential Broadway hit. Sidney’s plan, which he devises with his wife’s help, is to offer collaboration to the student, an idea which the younger man quickly accepts and sets a death plot into motion. Thereafter suspense mounts steadily as the plot begins to twist and turn with devilish cleverness.

Presented by Dayton Theatre Guild

Dayton

Directed by Marcia Nowik
Produced by Debra Kent

Cast: Geoff Burkman as John Cleary, Angela Riley as Nettie Cleary & Alexander Chilton as Tim Cleary

This American Classic is about a dysfunctional family (before it became a common description) focusing on the return of a son from WWII. Shocking and disappointing his mother with his cursing and drinking, he seems to please his father just by having survived. His parents appear to be happy, but slowly the facade pulls away to reveal emotional wounds and problems yet to be resolved. The son feels responsible but is unable to fix the pain between his parents.
