Directed by Al Yarcho

Whoever said life is better after fifty had better be right! George Thomas is turning fifty on Saturday, and it has been a terrible week. His dog is sick, his son is a slacker, and his daughter wants to marry a Republican. With a neurotic wife and a widowed neighbor providing more challenges than even George can overcome, this may be the worst week of his life. Through these trying days, George will discover the wonders of family, the responsibilities of parenthood, and the results of his latest physical.

THE BIG FIVE-OH is a hilarious, sometimes touching account of a grown man coming to terms with his age, his relationship with his son, and his future. It is the story of a middle-aged man finally growing up.

Directed by Heath Grooms

The play is set in fog-bound London in 1880 at the lower middle class home of Jack Manningham and his wife Bella, a seemingly normal couple. It turns out that the suave Mr. Manningham is slowly torturing his wife into insanity under the guise of kindness. Soon, Bella is visited by a Scotland Yard inspector, Rough. He tries to convince her that her husband is a maniacal criminal wanted for a murder committed 15-years-ago. Join us in finding out if Jack is innocent or a sociopath guilty of gaslighting his wife by manipulating her sense of reality.

A MODERN CHRISTMAS CAROL Runs Dec. 6-15

Presented by Xenia Area Community Theatre
Dec. 6-15
Xenia

Directed and adapted by Jennifer Sparks

This heartwarming story puts a modern twist on Dickens’s traditional A Christmas Carol tale. Ed pesters friends to do his homework, harasses classmates for lunch money, refuses to go Christmas caroling and is just an all-around Scrooge – and his friends are sick of it! It seems like Ed never spends time with them anymore. In turn, Ed’s parents, both caught up with their careers, don’t spend much time with him-even on Christmas Eve. The night before Christmas, Ed receives ethereal visits from his old friend Kaitlin and the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future. They remind him of what his life used to be and open his eyes to what it has become and how much worse it could get if Ed doesn’t change his ways right now! The ghosts’ revelations scare Ed out of his wits-especially the notion of attending the loneliest school in the universe where Ed would be the only student and all assignments are due on the same day! By morning, Ed wakes up with a renewed feeling of love, appreciation and true Christmas spirit.
