GODSPELL Runs April 10-25

CSPOH_Godspell logoGODSPELL
Presented by Centerstage Players of Ohio
April 10-25
North College Hill

Directed by Judy Berrens

Cast: Jeff Nieman as Jesus, Neil Geoppinger as John the Baptist/Judas, Evan Blanton, Meagan Blasch, Trisha Cooper, Brenden Fookes, Elizabeth Hickerson, Nancy Hughes, Erin Hughes, Garrett Wallace, Allie Webber & Jodi Zerbe

Based on the Gospel according to St. Matthew, a small group of people help Jesus Christ tell different parables by using a wide variety of games, storytelling techniques, and a hefty dose of comedic timing. An eclectic blend of songs ranging in style from pop to vaudeville is employed as the story of Jesus’ life dances across the stage. Dissolving hauntingly into the Last Supper and the Crucifixion, Jesus’ messages of kindness, tolerance, and love come vibrantly to life.

STANTON’S GARAGE Runs Feb. 20-March 7

CSPOH_Stantons Garage promoSTANTON’S GARAGE
Presented by CenterStage Players of Ohio
Feb. 20-March 7
North College Hill

Directed by Dee Dunn

Cast: David Hughes as Ron, Austin Moore as Harlon, Burt McCollom as Silvio, Charles Flatt as Denny, Trisha Cooper as Lee, Karra Rae Robinson as Frannie, Nancy Hughes as Mary & Linda Callahan as Audrey

If your car has ever broken down in the middle of nowhere, you’ll love this comedy. In a ramshackle garage miles from anywhere, two cars, both of which were en route to a wedding, await repairs. One is Ron’s, the ex-husband of the bride-to-be, a man who missed his divorce and certainly doesn’t want to miss his wife’s wedding. A bridesmaid who is engaged to the best man owns the other, a Volvo. She has her intended’s teenage daughter with her. They miss the wedding because the shop’s mechanic has never seen a Volvo, much less worked on one. Ron finally does get off to the wedding, lugging a case of anti-freeze as a wedding gift. He staggers back later to warn the Volvo driver that her husband-to-be is a world class jerk. Meanwhile, the teenager falls in love with the amorous store gofer.
