OUR TOWN
Presented by SSCC Theatre
Nov. 15-17
Hillsboro

Directed by Rainee Angles

Official cast list |

This timeless drama of life in the mythical village of Grover’s Corners, New Hampshire, has become an American classic with universal appeal. Thornton Wilder’s most frequently performed play, Our Town appeared on Broadway in 1938 to wide acclaim, and won the Pulitzer Prize. OUR TOWN explores the relationship between two young Grover’s Corners neighbors, George Gibbs and Emily Webb, whose childhood friendship blossoms into romance, and then culminates in marriage. When Emily loses her life in childbirth, the circle of life portrayed in each of the three acts of Our Town–growing up, adulthood, and death–is fully realized.

OVER THE TAVERN
Presented by SSCC Theatre
July 26-28
Hillsboro

Directed by Rainee Angles

Cast: Matthew Waits as Rudy,b Hannah Hengler as Sister Clarissa, Stormi Bledsoe as Ellen, Masen Woodall as Georgie, Jarrett Fittro as Eddie, Tori Kocher as Annie & Bryan Kessinger as Chet

In that most idealized period of 20th-century America, the Eisenhower years of the 1950s, the Pazinski family has a lot going on in their cramped Buffalo apartment. The youngest of the bunch, 12-year-old Rudy is a smart, wise-cracking kid who’s starting to question family values and the Roman Catholic Church. When Rudy goes up against the ruler-wielding Sister Clarissa and announces that instead of being confirmed he’d rather shop around for a more “fun” religion, all hell breaks loose. A warm and hilarious look at family, growing up, and God.

LEND ME A TENOR
Presented by SSCC Theatre
April 5-7
Hillsboro

Directed by Rainee Angles

Cast: Benjamin Gullett as Max, Hannah Hengler as Maggie, Bob Brown as Saunders, Jeff Horick as Tito, Stormi Bledsoe as Maria, Mark Holmes as Bellhop, Chelsea Heifner as Diana & Leslie Holmes as Julia

This night in September of 1934 is the biggest in the history of the Cleveland Grand Opera Company. World famous tenor Tito Morelli is to perform Otello, his greatest role, at the gala season opener. Saunders, the harried General Manager, hopes this will put Cleveland on the cultural map. Morelli is nowhere to be found; when he finally arrives drunk, it is too late for any rehearsal. Through a hilarious series of mishaps, ‘Il Stupendo’ is given a double dose of tranquilizers which mix with the booze he has consumed and he passes out. His pulse is so low that Saunders and his assistant Max believe he is dead. What to do? Saunders coaxes Max into Morelli’s costume, intending to fool the audience with this fake ‘Il Stupendo’, blackface and all. Nervous amateur Max succeeds admirably, but Morelli revives and dresses for his second act. With two Otellos now in costume and two women en dishabille, each thinking she is with ‘Il Stupendo’, the farce spins out of control onstage and off.
