TWO POINT OH
Falcon Theatre
Nov. 17-Dec. 2
[Newport]

Directed by Steve Phelan

Cast: Phineas Clark as Elliott Leeds, Rachel Mock as Melanie Leeds, Daniel Anderson as Ben Robbins, Samantha Joy Luhn as Catherine Powell & Liz Carman as Jeri Gold

Elliot Leeds is dead — or is he? A pioneering software mogul, Leeds makes headlines one last time when his private jet plunges into the Pacific. Months later, his grief-paralyzed widow Melanie discovers Elliot’s greatest creation: a virtual-reality simulation of himself that he masterminded before his demise. Programmed with advanced artificial intelligence, thousands of hours of his recorded thoughts and speech, and a digital re-creation of his face and body, “Elliot 2.0” is a talking, thinking, virtual soul. And though merely an image on the video screens of their wired, high-tech mansion, it — he — can answer questions, hold conversations, share memories, and perhaps even grow in intelligence and capacity. The question is…is he alive?

THE HEAD OF PEARL BRYAN
Falcon Theatre
Nov. 3-4
[Newport]

Written by Paul Strickland & Erika Kate MacDonald
Directed by Clint Ibele

Cast: Eileen Earnest & Tony Newton

Everyone knows the story of Pearl Bryan – or do we? Surprisingly, this notorious and mysterious tale of the murder of a young woman in 1896 in Ft Thomas still manages to baffle both the casual as well as professional historian to this day, especially because her head was never found. Countless books and murder ballads about the victim, her murderers, their trial in Newport, and the people who were drawn into what was once described as “the crime of the century”, as well as theories of what became of her head, abound.
