Rock of Ages
Book by Chris D’Arienzo Arrangements and Orchestrations by Ethan Popp Director: Allie Webber Producer: Fred Hunt Production Dates: September 6 - 15, 2024 Get your tickets here. NOTE: Performances will be at the Arts Center at Dunham (1945 Dunham Way, Cincinnati, OH 45238) It’s the tail end of the big, bad 1980s in Hollywood, and the party has been raging hard. Aqua Net, Lycra, lace and liquor flow freely at one of the Sunset Strip’s last legendary venues, a place where sex machine Stacee Jaxx takes the stage and scantily clad groupies line up to turn their fantasies into reality. Amidst the madness, aspiring rock star (and resident toilet cleaner) Drew longs to take the stage as the next big thing (and longs for small-town girl Sherri, fresh off the bus from Kansas with stars in her eyes). But the rock ’n’ roll fairy tale is about to end when German developers sweep into town with plans to turn the fabled Strip into just another capitalist strip mall. Can Drew, Sherri and the gang save the strip – and themselves – before it’s too late? Only the music of hit bands Styx, Journey, Bon Jovi, Whitesnake and more hold the answer.

Starting as a struggling actress trying to make her mark, Joyce finds herself becoming an icon, a celebrity. But her efforts to keep her beloved show alive cost her more than she could have guessed. Framed against a documentary about her life, Miss Spidra’s journey through the monster craze of the 60s asks what lines one will cross to succeed. Sponsored by Greg Schaper |

Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead
by Bert V. Royal Director: Parker Culp Producer: Mark Culp Production Dates: May 16 - 24, 2025 Get your tickets here. NOTE: Performances will be at Village Players of Ft Thomas (8 N Ft Thomas Ave, Fort Thomas, KY 41075) When CB’s dog dies from rabies, CB begins to question the existence of an afterlife. His best friend is too burnt out to provide any coherent speculation; his sister has gone goth; his ex-girlfriend has recently been institutionalized; and his other friends are too inebriated to give him any sort of solace. But a chance meeting with an artistic kid, the target of this group’s bullying, offers CB a peace of mind and sets in motion a friendship that will push teen angst to the very limits. Drug use, suicide, eating disorders, teen violence, rebellion and sexual identity collide and careen toward an ending that’s both haunting and hopeful. Sponsored by Greg Schaper |
