The dignified mother of a ruthless African dictator travels to England to seek treatment for her failing eyesight from a renowned ophthalmologist, who in turn requests a favor. At first glance, it looks like one woman helping another, but each woman brings to the other her true agenda, triggering a profound moral dilemma and a chain reaction of events with great personal and political aftershocks that reveal the truth and its consequence.

Directed by Greg Smith
Produced by Barbara Jorgensen

Cast: Katrina Kittle as Dr. Cora Gage & Catherine Collins as May N’Kame

WITTENBERG
Presented by Dayton Theatre Guild
Feb. 10-26
Dayton

Reviews: Dayton Most Metro |

This comic fantasy has Prince Hamlet (yes, that one) at the famous German university with Dr. Faustus and Martin Luther battling over faith and reason. The battle culminates in the nailing of the theses on the church door in this witty thinkalong that is less like university finals and more like spring break. Sometimes the truth is funny… and the consequences even funnier.

Directed by Saul Caplan

Cast: Charles Larkowski as Martin Luther, David Shough as John Faustus, Jared Mola as Hamlet Hamletsten & Lynn Kesson as The Eternal Female

HEROES
Presented by Dayton Theatre Guild 
Jan. 6-22
Dayton

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

A new work by the author of Come Back to the Five & Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean. The Blue Moon Dance Hall provides an escape from the daily doldrums of meaningless lives and lonely desperation. For its cast of idiosyncratic regulars it is also a refuge for hopes, dreams, fantasies and lies. This particular day at the Blue Moon includes a wedding, a tornado, Elvis, an attempted suicide and the face of Jesus in a water stain on the ceiling.
