The age of electricity has dawned, and in a seemingly perfect Victorian home, proper gentleman and scientist Dr. Givings has invented an extraordinary new device for treating “hysteria” in women: the vibrator. As his young wife struggles with their newborn daughter, a conflicted couple, a passionate artist and a grieving wet nurse enter their lives, shocking mannered society with unexpected amperes of love, attraction and the need for connection.

Directed by Ed Cohen

CORAM BOY runs Oct. 26-30

CORAM BOY
Presented by UC College-Conservatory of Music
Oct. 26-30
University Heights

Reviews:  Enquirer | BTC |

At its heart is the story of two boys from very different backgrounds. Alexander Ashbrook is from a rich household and is a musical prodigy, while Meshak Gardner is the impoverished, mentally-damaged son of a wicked and violent man. Their very different life journeys become inextricably bound-up during their troubled passage into adolescence. Alexander’s search for personal and creative freedom is almost engulfed by the vortex of dirty and dangerous currents horribly familiar to Meshak, and found almost everywhere in this so-called age of enlightenment.

Directed by Richard Hess

Cast list: Bennett Bradley as Mrs. Lynch, Bailie Breault as Isobel Ashbrook, William Brown as Meshak Gardiner, Cameron Jamarr Davis as Doctor Smith, Mack Harden as George Frederick Handel, Claron Hayden as Otis Gardiner, Brynn Langford as Mrs. Hendry, Graydon Long as Sir William Ashbrook, John Patrick Maddock as Thomas Ledbury, Molly Massa as Mrs. Milcote, Clifford Nunley III as Mr. Claymore, Ty Olwin as Alexander Ashbrook, Callie Schuttera as Melissa Milcote, Hope Shangle as Lady Ashbrook, Shaun S.

A sparkling revue presenting over 20 songs from an exceptional composer. Effortlessly woven together, these treasured tunes trace Finn’s career from the acclaimed FALSETTOS series to his smash hit THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE. Filled with personal, haunting and often hilarious tales from a rich and touching songbook.
