REALLY REALLY on Dec. 3-6, 2015
by Paul Downs Colaizzo

A contemporary drama that pushes the edges and embraces the harsh reality of today’s youth. At an elite university, when the party of the year results in the regret of a lifetime, one person will stop at nothing to salvage a future that is suddenly slipping away. In this quick-witted and gripping comic tragedy about ‘Generation Me,’ it’s every man for himself.

REASONS TO BE PRETTY on March 24-27, 2016
By Neil Labute

A love story about the impossibility of love, REASONS TO BE PRETTY introduces us to Greg, who really, truly adores his girlfriend, Steph. Unfortunately, he also thinks she has a few physical imperfections, and when he casually mentions them, all hell breaks loose. A hopelessly romantic drama about the hopelessness of romance, REASONS TO BE PRETTY is a gorgeous play.

THE BREAKFAST CLUB Runs Dec. 11-20

TPG_Breakfast Club1THE BREAKFAST CLUB
Presented by The Playground Theatre
Dec. 11-20
Dayton

Cast: Jason Antonick as Vernon (The Principal), Christopher Hahn as Bender (The Criminal), Titus Wolverton as Andrew (The Athlete), Lisa Glover as Claire (The Princess), Kirsten Johnson as Allison (The Basket Case), Timothy Walling-Moore as Brian (The Brain) & Rick Burnette as Carl (The Janitor)

THE BREAKFAST CLUB begins bright and early on a chilly March morning at Shermer High school in 1984, as five high school teenagers prepare for a day of Saturday detention. Each of the five students embodies a typical high school stereotype—The Brain, the Athlete, The Basket Case, The Princess, and The Criminal—seemingly having nothing in common. But as the day progresses, the characters begin to bare their souls and trust one another until they ultimately learn that they might not be so different after all.
