May 17, 2013 By Sarah Caplan Leave a Comment

 

Welcome back, Theatre lovers!

 

What’s happening in the theatrical neck of your woods? So glad you asked!

 

Closing This Weekend!

 

Next To Normal

 

The Human Race Theatre Company (@ The Victoria Theatre)03092_show_portrait

 

The Skinny: The story of a mother who struggles with bipolar disorder and the effect her illness has on her family. This contemporary Pulitzer Prize and Tony winning musical is an emotional powerhouse that addresses issues such as grieving a loss, ethics in modern psychiatry, and suburban life. With provocative lyrics and a thrilling score, this musical shows how far two parents will go to keep themselves sane and their family’s world intact.

Dates: Closes Sunday 5/19

Tickets: Tickets are available via the Victoria Theatre Association website, here: tickets.

 

Opening This Weekend

 

The Pillowman

Print

The Dayton Theatre Guild

 

The Skinny: With echoes of Stoppard, Kafka, and the Brothers Grimm, THE PILLOWMAN centers on a writer in an unnamed totalitarian state who is being interrogated about the gruesome content of his short stories and their similarities to a series of child murders.

 

Dates: Opening Friday, 5/17 and running 3 weekends to close on Sunday, 6/2. Remember, at the Guild, the 2nd and 3rd Saturdays are at 5 pm.

 

Tickets: For ticket reservations, please visit the Dayton Theatre Guild website, www.daytontheatreguild.org.

 

(Note: For mature audiences only. Note: there will be a loud gun shot and a minor amount of smoke on stage during one scene in the performance.)

 

Currently In Production!

 

The Sound Of Music

La Comedia Dinner Theatre

 

The Skinny: A little known musical gem about a would-be nun who battles Nazis. But seriously, folks – this is the well-loved classic, a perennial crowd pleaser. Join The Captain, Maria and all 7 children as they sing, dance and, eventually, cross the Alps.

Dates: Through June 30th.

 

Tickets: Please visit La Comedia’s website at www.lacomedia.com
