HEROES
Presented by Dayton Theatre Guild

Three aging WWI French army veterans, a very different “band of brothers,” muse on life, the past and what is over the next hill as they confront, comfort and sometimes ignore each other. This wistful and often hilarious piece takes place on the terrace of a French military home in 1959 where these heroes have spent the last forty years recollecting it all.

Directed by Fred Blumenthal
Produced by K.L. Storer

Cast: Tom Stivers as Henri, Gil Martin as Gustave & Richard Young as Philippe

Reviews: Dayton Most Metro |

Neil Simon’s Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning laugh-filled piece tells the tale of two young boys left by their widowed father in a strange world called Yonkers. Their father must travel to pay back loan sharks so the boys are entrusted to a tough-minded grandmother and a child-like aunt. The aunt, now in love with a man who is just as unable to cope with the boys’ care as she is, tries to figure out the next step in this funny, touching and unforgetable drama.

SOUVENIR
Presented by Dayton Theatre Guild
Sept. 16-25
Dayton

Dayton Most Metro review |

Florence Foster Jenkins, a wealthy society eccentric, believed herself to be a great coloratura soprano when she was actually incapable of producing two consecutive notes in tune. Even so, her recitals in the ballroom of the Ritz Carlton hotel where she resided, along with her single concert at Carnegie Hall in 1944, brought her great fame. Souvenir is based on the real life of Florence Foster Jenkins and tells her story through the eyes of her accompanist, Cosme McMoon, a talented musician who first saw her as merely a way to pay the rent, but who came to regard her with friendship and affection.
