100 SAINTS YOU SHOULD KNOW
Presented by Dayton Theatre Guild
Feb. 22-March 10
Dayton

Directed by Ellen Finch

Father Matthew McNally has served his congregation well but now finds he needs some time to reflect on his own faith and suddenly leaves his parish. Theresa, a cleaning woman at his rectory, searches him out for spiritual advice. She needs help with her 16-year-old daughter, Abby. And Garrett, a grocery delivery boy, desperately seeks Father McNally’s guidance in search of his own identity. An unexpected crisis brings these characters into confrontation. Faith is tried and shaken as Father McNally faces his own spiritual demons and his greatest fear – living without a connection to God.

GHOSTS
Presented by Dayton Theatre Guild
Jan. 11-27
Dayton

Reviews: Dayton Most Metro |

Directed by Matthew W. Smith

Cast: Mrs Alving: Lisa Howard-Welch, Osvald Alving: Jared Mola, Pastor Manders: Chuck Larkowski, Jakob Enstrand: Dave Nickel & Regine Enstrand: Angela Timpone

A brilliant new translation by Christopher Hampton breathes new life into this classic drama. The ‘‘ghosts’’ in this play are taboo topics that cannot be openly discussed. This drama is one of Ibsen’s most powerful works, but also one of his most controversial. Family sins are revisited when a son returns home to dedicate an orphanage in his father’s name and becomes involved in a tryst that ends in the painful knowledge of long suppressed family truths.
