Human Race Theatre Company
Oct. 21-Nov. 7
Loft Theatre [Dayton]

When Nina enters her first air guitar competition, she thinks winning will be easy. But as she befriends a group of charismatic nerds all committed to becoming the next champion, she discovers that there’s more to this art form than playing pretend; it’s about finding yourself in your favorite songs, and performing with raw joy. Will Nina be able to let go and set herself free onstage? Following her mission to shred or be shredded, Airness is an exuberant reminder that everything we need to rock is already inside us. A comedy about competition, completion, and finding the airness inside yourself.

Aug. 5-22
The Loft Theatre [Dayton]

Based on a real event, which has been the subject of gossip for years in Hollywood, LOOPED takes place in the summer of 1965, when an inebriated Tallulah Bankhead, well-known for her husky voice, outrageous personality, and devastating wit, needed eight hours to redub – or loop – one line of dialogue for her last movie, Die! Die! My Darling! Bankhead’s outsized personality dominates the young, frustrated film editor who is knocked for a loop by the tempestuous stage and screen icon. Rated R. Ages 18 and up.

THE REVOLUTIONISTS Available June 23-July 4

HRTC_The Revolutionists logoTHE REVOLUTIONISTS
Human Race Theatre Company
June 23-July 4
[Online]

Directed by Margarett Perry

Cast: Ginna Hoben as Olympe de Gouges, Maggie Lou Rader as Marie Antionette, Tess Talbot as Charlotte Corday & Torie Wiggins as Marianne Angelle

Four beautiful, badass women lose their heads in this irreverent, girl-powered comedy set during the French Revolution’s Reign of Terror, but feeling a bit like Sex and the City circa 1793 Paris. Charlotte Corday (assassin), Olympe de Gouges (playwright), Marie Antoinette (former queen), and Marianne Angelle (Haitian rebel) are all committed to finding Equality for Women while trying to figure out what it means to be “revolutionary.” This grand and zany comedy is about violence and legacy, art and activism, feminism and terrorism, compatriots and chosen sisters, and how we actually go about changing the world without losing our heads.
