WAR HORSE. Photos Brinkhoff/Mogenburg 2011 London Cast.

WAR HORSE
March 26 – April 7, 2013
A remarkable tale of courage, loyalty and friendship.

England, 1914. As World War One begins, Joey, young Albert’s beloved horse, is sold to the cavalry and shipped from England to France. He’s soon caught up in enemy fire, and fate takes him on an extraordinary journey, serving on both sides before finding himself alone in no man’s land. But Albert cannot forget Joey and, still not old enough to enlist, he embarks on a treacherous mission to find him and bring him home.

This powerfully moving and imaginative drama, filled with stirring music and songs, is a show of phenomenal inventiveness that is currently playing to packed houses in London and New York. At its heart are astonishing life-sized puppets created by South Africa’s Handspring Puppet Company, that bring to life breathing, galloping, charging horses strong enough for men to ride.

April 30-May 12, 2013
SISTER ACT is Broadway’s feel-amazing musical comedy smash hit. The New York Post calls it “ridiculously fun,” and audiences are jumping to their feet in total agreement! Featuring original music by 8-time Oscar® winner Alan Menken (Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, Little Shop of Horrors), SISTER ACT tells the story of Deloris Van Cartier, a wannabe diva whose life takes a surprising turn when she witnesses a crime and the cops hide her in the last place anyone would think to look – a convent. Under the suspicious watch of Mother Superior, Deloris helps her fellow sisters find their voices as she unexpectedly rediscovers her own. A sparkling tribute to the universal power of friendship, SISTER ACT is reason to rejoice.

BCT Announces 2012-2013 Season

Musical Chairs (BCT’s Main Stage)
Sept. 7 – 16, 2012 Auditions – July 9 & 10, 2012 Directed by Matt Owens

This bright show is about an audience watching a play. Joe Preston has not had a hit in years, and is hoping his new play will revive his career. He is at the mercy of an off Broadway audience consisting of two typical “grey haired matinee ladies”, a married couple who fight all the time, an anxious young man waiting for his date, an illiterate rock singer trying to impress his date with some culture, a Texas business man and his culture vulture wife and three critics– one of whom hates Preston’s work and another who begged his editor not to assign him to his show because Sam, his lover who recently jilted him, is in the cast. Poor Joe Preston!

The Sugar Bean Sisters (An Edge of the Creek Production)
Oct. 26 – Nov. 4, 2012 Auditions – Aug. 20 & 21, 2012 Directed by Doug Lloyd

The Nettle sisters are determined to escape spinsterhood—Willie Mae by going to Salt Lake to find a good Mormon husband and Faye by hopping on a spaceship. Faye and Willie Mae return home to their ramshackle swamp dwelling in Sugar Bean, Florida, after a disastrous daytrip to Disney World, where Willie lost her prized Eva Gabor wig on Space Mountain. Having witnessed the landing of an alien space craft some 25 years ago, Faye prepares for their return. A strange bird-like woman suddenly appears out of the darkness of Buster Swamp, setting in motion a chain of extraordinary events. Lies begin to unravel and the truth is revealed as the Sugar Bean Sisters hatch a diabolical plot to ensure the space people’s return.

On Christmas Day In The Morning (BCT’s Youth Theatre)
Nov. 30 – Dec. 9, 2012 Auditions – Oct. 16 & 17, 2012 Directed by Teresa Connair

Lucy James is the most obstinate orphan to ever live at the Little Angels. She was adopted seven times in the last year, but she kept coming back! On this Christmas of 1935, Little Angels is in trouble and may not be around another year. With what the orphans believe to be divine intervention, a bus breaks down, bringing a traveling evangelist group and one lonely traveler to the orphanage door. In this motley group of travelers, Lucy finds the father she had in mind and each person discovers what it means to be a family.

Steppin’ Out (BCT’s Main Stage)
Jan. 25 – Feb 3, 2013 Auditions – Nov. 26 & 27, 2012 Directed by John Falkenbach

This is a rollicking comedy about the attempts of some working class amateurs to overcome their inhibitions and two left feet in a low-rent dance studio in North London. Mavis, a former professional chorus girl tries her hardest to teach the bumbling amateurs some terpsichorean skills for an upcoming recital. But before the dancing begins Mavis must mediate the minor dramas that erupt among this motley but loveable crew on their way to triumph at their recital.

A Chorus Line (An Edge of the Creek Production)
March 1- 10, 2013 Auditions – Jan. 7 & 8, 2013 Directed by Doug Lloyd

A Chorus Line is a stunning musical about a chorus audition for a Broadway musical. It tells of the achingly poignant ambitions of professional Broadway gypsies to land a job in a show, and is powerful metaphor for all human aspirations. Memorable musical numbers include, I Can Do That, At the Ballet, Dance: Ten; Looks: Three, One (Singular Sensation), What I did for Love) and I hope I get it. Winner of 9 Tony awards and the 1976 Pulitzer Prize for Drama

The Canterbury Tales or Geoffrey Chaucer’s Flying Circus (Youth)
April 19 – 28, 2013 Auditions – March 5 & 6, 2013 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!

Legally Blonde The Musical (BCT’s Main Stage)
June 21 – 30, 2013 Auditions – April 8 & 9, 2013 Directed by Chris Harmon

Sorority star Elle Woods doesn’t take “no” for an answer. So when her boyfriend dumps her for someone “serious,” Elle puts down the credit card, hits the books, and sets out to go where no Delta Nu has gone before: Harvard Law. Along the way, Elle proves that being true to yourself never goes out of style.

The Human Race Theatre Announces Its 2012-2013 Season

The Beginning of A Second Quarter Century of Great Theatre

The Human Race, Dayton’s own professional theatre company, will begin its second 25 years with a season with something for everyone, and whole lot for theatre fans.

The subscription series includes a beloved musical, a notorious musical with beloved puppets, the latest from one of America’s foremost contemporary playwrights, a merry (and horny) widow, and even a little football.

And for those who think the mix needs a serial killer, there’s a Loft Season Extra.

The five shows of the 2012-2013 Eichelberger Loft Season of The Human Race are (more information on each and the dates of each run at the end of the release):

MANAGING MAXINE – a new comedy of septuagenarian sexiness and matronly merriment, as a widow hits the dating scene

OLIVER – consider yourself in for fun, glorious fun as the classic musical gets sized just right for The Loft

LOMBARDI – a winning drama about the legendary Packers coach isn’t everything, it’s the only thing

RACE – when David Mamet fights the law, the law doesn’t necessarily win

AVENUE Q – Mama never told you a puppet musical would be like this

Each of the regular season shows is scheduled to run three weeks, with the same special events in each run at The Loft Theatre, downtown: a Thursday night preview, preceded by the Inside Track discussion with the director in the Loft lobby; Friday Opening Night followed by a party with the cast; a Tuesday night Lite Fare at The Loft; a While We’re on the Subject talkback after a Sunday matinee; and a Saturday signed and audio-described performance opportunity.

Subscriptions are available in 3-, 4-, and 5-show packages as well as in Flex plans. Both renewing and new subscribers may place their order at https://www.ticketcenterstage.com/hrtc/subs , or by calling Ticket Center Stage at (937) 228-3630 or visiting the Schuster Center Box Office. New subscribers will not get seats assigned until after the April 23 deadline for renewing subscribers to have their seats guaranteed.

The Loft Season Extra, part of The Human Race’s effort in development of new plays begun under its 25th Anniversary project, unveils the dark side of noted children’s playwright and author Michael Slade.

FURTHER INFORMATION ON THE 2012-2013 LOFT SHOWS

MANAGING MAXINE
By Janice Shaffer
September 6-23, 2012
Actually, nobody has the slightest chance of managing Maxine. She’s a 71-year old widow, hot on the dating trail for the first time in 45 years and ready for love, or at least lust. The former teacher and writer finds a retired judge to her liking, and they find fireworks with offspring and friends that their coupling ignites. The Human Race production is the Midwest Premiere of this southern belle who is managing just fine, thank you.

OLIVER
By Lionel Bart
November 29 – December 16, 2012

The musical version of Charles Dickens’ Oliver Twist has been a major hit around the world since it took the London stage in 1960 and captured Broadway in 1963, garnering 10 Tony nominations. The tale of the orphan being led down the pickpocketing path has been redesigned with a Twist that makes it perfect for the intimacy of The Loft, but rest assured the music, from the rollicking “Food, Glorious Food” to the soulful “As Long As He Needs Me,” is as stirring as ever, and a terrific holiday treat.

LOMBARDI
By Eric Simonson
February 7 – 24, 2013
There aren’t many coaches in any sport who gain such fame they’re instantly recognizable by last name alone, and Vince Lombardi is definitely a member of that select group. The legendary leader of the dominating Packers of the 1960s bullies and cajoles a cub reporter through weeks of interviews, and on the way the audience comes to grips with Lombardi’s struggles, his passion for winning, his home life, and his relationship with players like Paul Hornung, Jim Taylor and Dave Robinson. Oh, and a little football, too.

RACE
By David Mamet
April 4 – 21, 2013

David Mamet skewered American business and businessmen in such earlier masterpieces as Glengarry Glen Ross and American Buffalo. This time he takes off after both the practice of law and race relations, led by a black-and-white lawyer team that puts the sin back in cynical. The two are hired by a wealthy and powerful white man accused of raping a young black woman, and they and their new African-American female associate cross and re-cross all sorts of ethical and racial lines in inimitable Mamet style.

AVENUE Q
By Robert Lopez, Jeff Marx, and Jeff Whitty
June 6 – 23, 2013

Oh, my, did this show ever turn the idea of a puppet musical on its head. AVENUE Q swept the Tony Triple Crown of Best Musical, Best Score and Best Lyrics in 2003, captured Broadway for six years, and is still going strong off-Broadway. With drinking and sex and songs like “It Sucks to Be You” and “Everyone’s A Little Bit Racist,” it’s not for the little ones or the faint of heart, but it’s an incredible night of fun, presented in collaboration with the puppetmasters at Dayton’s Zoot Theatre.

LOFT EXTRA

UNDER A RED MOON
By Michael Slade
October 18 -28, 2011

It’s 1949. John George Haigh, Britain’s infamous Acid Bath Killer, has been arrested after six years of homicide and somewhere from six to nine murders. He has confessed to the killings, but a big question remains – is he sane or insane? One means hanging, the other life in a psychiatric ward. A female psychiatrist comes to examine Haigh and the tension mounts as he twists and turns her thoughts and you begin to wonder just who is examining whom.

The Human Race Theatre Company was founded in 1986 and moved into the Metropolitan Arts Center in 1991, taking up residence at the 219-seat Loft Theatre. In addition to the Eichelberger Loft Season, The Human Race produces for the Victoria Theatre’s Broadway Series, the Musical Theatre Workshop series, and special event programming. The Human Race, under the direction of Producing Artistic Director Kevin Moore, also maintains education and outreach programs for children, teens and adults, as well as artist residencies in area schools, The Muse Machine In-School Tour, and summer youth programs. Human Race organizational support is provided by Culture Works, Montgomery County Arts and Cultural District, Shubert Foundation, the Erma R. Catterton Trust Fund and the Ohio Arts Council. The Ohio Arts Council helped fund this organization with state tax dollars to encourage economic growth, educational excellence and cultural enrichment for all Ohioans. The Human Race’s 25th Anniversary Season is sponsored by the Miriam Rosenthal Memorial Trust Fund.
