OPUS
Presented by Dayton Theatre Guild
Aug. 24-Sept. 9
Dayton

Reviews: Dayton Most Metro |

A world-class male string quartet struggles with the loss of a member, the recasting of a woman to replace him and the day-to-day tensions of exacting, temperamental artists struggling to make perfect music onstage, as well as to make sense of their lives offstage.  This one-of-a-kind contemporary script is filled with quiet drama and surprising humor.

Directed by Greg Smith

Cast: Michael J. Boyd as Dorian, Franklin Johnson as Alan, Mary Mykytka as Grace, Matthew W. Smith as Elliot & K.L. Storer as Carl
