This is a “memory musical.” The cast plays various characters remembering the joy, the laughter, and the pain of what it was like to go through high school. and to the gallery of characters that inhabit it, as they look back on their high schools”. Charming, funny, touching and likable […] it’s a gentle, low-key piece that wins its way by being so enjoyable. Somehow it touches a common chord; audiences can relate to it, and to the gallery of characters that inhabit it, as they look back on their high school days from 10 to 20 years on.

[Dayton]

Directed by Ray Gambrel

Cast: Jordan Ostrum as Chris/Inspector Carter, Hayley Penchoff as Annie, Caleb Boquist as Trevor, David Meadows as Jonathan/Charles Haversham, Brandon Shockney as Robert/Thomas Colleymore, Eli Chamberlin as Dennis/Perkins, Chase Niemitalo as Max/Cecil Haversham & Katie Waid as Sandra/Florence Colleymore

From Mischief, Broadway masters of comedy, comes the original version, smash hit farce. Welcome to opening night of the Cornley University Drama Society’s newest production, The Murder at Haversham Manor, where things are quickly going from bad to utterly disastrous. This 1920s whodunit has everything you never wanted in a show—an unconscious leading lady, a corpse that can’t play dead, and actors who trip over everything (including their lines). Nevertheless, the accident-prone thespians battle against all odds to make it through to their final curtain call, with hilarious results!

THE PROM
Dayton Playhouse
Sept. 22-Oct. 8
[Dayton]

Directed by Tim Rezash

Four eccentric Broadway stars are in desperate need of a new stage. So when they hear that trouble is brewing around a small-town prom, they know that it’s time to put a spotlight on the issue…and themselves. The town’s parents want to keep the high school dance on the straight and narrow—but when one student just wants to bring her girlfriend to prom, the entire town has a date with destiny. On a mission to transform lives, Broadway’s brassiest join forces with a courageous girl and the town’s citizens and the result is love that brings them all together. Winner of the Drama Desk Award for Best Musical, THE PROM expertly captures all the humor and heart of a classic musical comedy with a message that resonates with audiences now more than ever.
