Presented by Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park

Reviews: Enquirer | Cincinnati Examiner | CityBeat |

Local media coverge: WVXU interview | Enquirer article |

Directed by Michael Haney

Sultry, sexy and spellbinding, Double Indemnity is a treacherous thriller of love and murder. A beguiling seductress and morally bankrupt insurance agent plot to kill the unsuspecting husband who stands in the way of their budding romance. But will they get away with their perfect crime? Double Indemnity is a scintillating new stage version of the novel that inspired one of the most popular noir films of all time.

Advisory: Double Indemnity is recommended for ages 13 and up. It’s a story about murder and deceit, so it contains some mature themes, sexual innuendo and mild language.

THE CANTERURY TALES Runs April 19-28

THE CANTERURY TALES
BCT_Canterbury TalesPresented by Beavercreek Community Theatre Children’s Theatre
April 19-28
Beavercreek

Directed by Teresa Connair

Start with Chaucer’s literary masterpiece, toss in a good helping of Monty Python-styled humor, and you get this incredibly silly comedy. You’ll meet many of the pilgrims whose tales are most likely to be studied in high school (along with a few Thanksgiving pilgrims that ended up in the wrong play!), including the knight, the miller, the parson, the pardoner, the nun’s priest and the friar. Even the wife of Bath has cleaned up her act for this adaptation and is now a nagging woman who sells self-help DVDs! The miller, too, makes an appearance, though nobody wants to hear anything he has to say!
