The Human Race to Present OLIVER, AVENUE Q & More in 2012/13

By:

The Human Race, Dayton's own professional theatre company, will begin its second 25 years with a season with something for everyone, and whole lot for theatre fans.
 
The subscription series includes a beloved musical, a notorious musical with beloved puppets, the latest from one of America's foremost contemporary playwrights, a merry (and horny) widow, and even a little football.
 
And for those who think the mix needs a serial killer, there's a Loft Season Extra.
 
The five shows of the 2012-2013 Eichelberger Loft Season of The Human Race are (more information on each and the dates of each run at the end of the release):
 
MANAGING MAXINE -  a new comedy of septuagenarian sexiness and matronly merriment, as a widow hits the dating scene
 
OLIVER -  consider yourself in for fun, glorious fun as the classic musical gets sized just right for The Loft
 
LOMBARDI – a winning drama about the legendary Packers coach isn't everything, it's the only thing
 
RACE – when David Mamet fights the law, the law doesn't necessarily win 
 
AVENUE Q – Mama never told you a puppet musical would be like this
 
Each of the regular season shows is scheduled to run three weeks, with the same special events in each run at The Loft Theatre, downtown:  a Thursday night preview, preceded by the Inside Track discussion with the director in The Loft lobby; Friday Opening Night followed by a party with the cast; a Tuesday night Lite Fare at The Loft; a While We're on the Subject talkback after a Sunday matinee; and a Saturday signed and audio-described performance opportunity.
 
Subscriptions are available in 3-, 4-, and 5-show packages as well as in Flex plans. Both renewing and new subscribers may place their order at https://www.ticketcenterstage.com/hrtc/subs, or by calling Ticket Center Stage at (937) 228-3630 or visiting the Schuster Center Box Office. New subscribers will not get seats assigned until after the April 23 deadline for renewing subscribers to have their seats guaranteed.
 
The Loft Season Extra, part of The Human Race's effort in development of new plays begun under its 25th Anniversary project, unveils the dark side of noted children's playwright and author Michael Slade.
