A Storm is Coming to Yellow Springs

The John Bryan Amphitheater is surrounded by the woods and Yellow Springs Creek, where the audience will feel isolated from civilization as if they are also stranded on the island with the cast.

Sorg Opera House Acknowledges Pride with 2013 Broadway Play

A bold, heartfelt comedy/drama set in 1930s New York, where burlesque and politics collide. At its center is Chauncey Miles, a witty performer who plays the flamboyant “Nance” caricature onstage, an outrageous stereotype of a gay man, while secretly living as one in a world that refuses to accept him. As Mayor LaGuardia cracks down on “indecency” in entertainment, Chauncey grapples with the rising tide of censorship, the costs of hiding his true self, and a surprising romance that threatens his carefully constructed facade. A sharp blend of comedy, tragedy, music and showbiz sparkle, The Nance explores identity, repression, and the fight for dignity with unflinching honesty. This play deals with mature themes, gay & political issues and suggestive humor of the era. Recommended for 16+

Charmien Starts 2026 as Producer!

After years of wanting to make her idea a reality, it finally has legs! Tripod legs, that is, because this is no ordinary cabaret. A Twitch Kapparet will be filmed for the sole purpose of being livestreamed on gaming platform Twitch. Over a dozen performers singing with a pianist what they've always wanted recorded. Join the chat Wednesday January 28th at 3:30pm. 

(Subject to delayed stream time depending on technical difficulty).
