Reviews: Dayton Most Metro |

In roaring twenties Chicago, Chorine Roxie Hart murders a faithless lover and convinces her hapless husband Amos to take the rap, until he finds out he’s been duped and turns on Roxie. Convicted and sent to death row, Roxie and another “Merry Murderess” Velma Kelly, vie for the spotlight and the headlines, ultimately joining forces in search of the “American Dream”: fame, fortune and acquittal. This sharp edged satire features a dazzling score that sparked immortal staging by Bob Fosse. Chicago is the winner of six Tony Awards including Best Revival and later the Academy Award as Best Picture of the Year.

LOOKING GLASS LAND runs April 20-29

LOOKING GLASS LAND
Presented by Beavercreek Community Theatre Children’s Theatre
April 20-29
Beavercreek 

Looking Glass Land takes Lewis Carroll’s original story “Through the Looking Glass,” and adds to it a huge helping of unabashed silliness. This delightful romp through Alice’s looking glass retains all of the familiar characters, then introduces dozens of new ones: a baseball team, a gospel group called The Responsibilities, a train conductor, a peanut salesman, detectives, a Miss America, star struck tourist, plastic light saber knights and much more. This show is delightfully amusing and believable in a land that’s not, and is sure to please the entire family.

Directed by Teresa Connair

BCT Announces Line-Up for 2012-2013 Season

Beavercreek Community Theatre has announced the line-up for its 2012-2013 season. 

The 2012-2013 season opens Sept. 7 with MUSICAL CHAIRS directed by Matt Owens. Joe Preston hasn’t had a hit in years and he’s hoping that his new play will revive his career but he’s at the mercy of an off Broadway audience of unique and challenging patrons. Auditions are July 9 and 10.

THE SUGAR BEAN SISTERS, directed by Doug Lloyd, opens Oct. 26, featuring the Nettle sisters of Sugar Bean, Florida. Their determination to escape spinsterhood includes a diabolical plot to ensure the return of space people they witnessed years before. Auditions are August 20 and 21.

ON CHRISTMAS DAY IN THE MORNING, will be presented by the BCT Youth Theatre, under the direction of Teresa Connair, opening on Nov. 30. Lucy James has been adopted from the orphanage seven times in the past year and each time she’s come back. The orphanage is facing possible closure. Both find what they’re looking for through a motley group of travelers. Auditions are October 16 and 17.

STEPPIN’ OUT, directed by John Falkenbach, opens Jan. 25. It’s a rollicking comedy about some working class amateurs trying to overcome their inhibitions and their two left feet in a low-rent dance studio in North London. Auditions are November 26 and 27.

A CHORUS LINE, directed by Doug Lloyd, will open on March 1. The musical follows a chorus audition for a Broadway musical and the achingly poignant ambitions of professional Broadway gypsies to land a job in the show. Auditions are January 7 and 8.

THE CANTERBURY TALES (or GEOFFREY CHAUCER’S FLYING CIRCUS) be presented by the BCT Youth Theatre. Directed by Teresa Connair, it will open on April 19. The show is a mix of Chaucer’s literary masterpiece and a good helping of Monty Python-style humor, resulting in an incredibly silly comedy. Auditions are March 5 and 6.

LEGALLY BLONDE THE MUSICAL, directed by Chris Harmon, will open on June 21. Sorority star Elle Woods doesn’t take “no” for an answer when her boyfriend dumps her for someone “serious.” She decides to get serious by putting down her credit card and hitting the books with a lofty goal – Harvard Law School. Auditions are April 8 and 9.

THE SUGAR BEAN SISTERS and A CHORUS LINE are Edge of the Creek productions, which means they are aimed for adult audiences due to mature language and/or situations.

Shows are presented for two consecutive weekends with Friday and Saturday night performances and Sunday matinees.
