    THE COMING ATTRACTIONS AT MY HOME THEATRE, THE DAYTON THEATRE GUILD

    Continuing the 2023/2024 Season:

    WEDNESDAY'S CHILD, by Mark St. Germain's at The Dayton Theatre Guild.

    Directed by K.L.Storer
    Produced by Scott Madden

    Wednesday's Child is a fast-paced thriller, murder mystery, and more. Susan and Martin Merrit are unable to have a child on their own, so they hire Becca Connor to serve as a surrogate. When Becca is found dead, a police investigation explodes the lives of everyone who knew her. As Detectives Valez and Dixon begin to put the pieces together, secrets surface, alibis weaken, and lies are uncovered. This dramatic play explores motherhood, passion, and that thin line between right and wrong.

    TRUE WEST, by Sam Shepard's at The Dayton Theatre Guild.

    Directed by Doug Lloyd
    Produced by K.L.Storer

    This Pulitzer Prize finalist and Tony-nominated play examines the relationship between two estranged brothers. It is set in the kitchen of their mother's home in the desert, 40 miles east of Los Angeles. Austin, a screenwriter and achiever, is working on a script he has sold to producer Saul Kimmer. Lee is a demented petty thief who drops in and pitches his own idea for a movie to the producer. Sal then wants Austin to junk his bleak, modern love story and write Lee's trashy Western tale.

    Dayton Theatre Guild 23/24 Season

    THE REST OF THE 2023/2024 SEASON:


    FLIGHT OF THE LAWNCHAIR MAN, by Ullian & Lindsey-Nassif at The Dayton Theatre Guild

    FLIGHT OF THE LAWNCHAIR MAN

    Book by Peter Ullian
    Music & Lyrics by Robert Lindsey-Nassif
    *(Based on a concept by Robert Lindsey-Nassif)

    Production dates: Mar 22-Apr 7, 2024
    Auditions: Jan 15 & 16, 2024

    Directed by David Shough
    Produced by Christina Tomazinis

    Jerry Gorman is a regular guy from Passaic, New Jersey, who just got promoted to Snack Bar Manager at Wal-Mart. But what he really wants to do is fly. While the neighbors think he's nuts, and his mother disapproves, his girlfriend Gracie believes in him and encourages him to follow his dream. Jerry soars to 16,000 feet with nothing but a lawnchair and 400 helium balloons. Loosely based on a true story, Flight of the Lawnchair Man is a musical that inspires hope, and reminds us that dreams can come true if you believe in yourself.


    SUPERIOR DONUTS, by Tracy Letts at The Dayton Theatre Guild

    SUPERIOR DONUTS

    by Tracey Letts

    Production dates: Jun 7-23, 2024
    Auditions: Mar 25 & 26, 2024

    Directed by Jared Mola
    Produced by Debra Kent

    Arthur Przybyszewski, a former 1960's radical, owns a rundown donut shop in Chicago's Uptown. His only employee, an energetic but troubled young African American assistant, Franco, wants to update the establishment with lively music and healthy menu options. The writing is on the wall that things are going to change -- maybe even for the better. Superior Donuts explores the challenges of embracing the past, and the redemptive power of friendship.
