Rehearsals will be Monday – Thursday evenings, weekend afternoons depending on cast availability somebody's children introduces us to five teenagers who are part of a subculture that isn't shown or explored in the media in any depth. These kids are homeless, and they, along with their families, stay in a rundown motel known as the El Dorado, which is one of many such motels in horrific condition in their area of the city. All the residents deal with issues such as gang violence, drugs and prostitution. Most of the city authorities do little to rectify the situation. The result is that these families live in a world where every day is a challenge and the idea of home is temporary at best. We share a time in the lives of these five teenagers as they tell us their stories through a series of vignettes. They paint a picture of their lives and the cruel realities in which they struggle to survive—all the while doing so in the shadow of Disneyland: The Happiest Place on Earth. Yet, through it all, this group of friends takes the time to share their dreams with us, reminding us that hope can exist in even the harshest conditions.

IMMEDIATE RELEASE: MILLENNIAL THEATRE COMPANY TO PRESENT AREA PREMIERE OF WHO'S HOLIDAY THIS WEEKEND ONLY AT HOPEWELL THEATRE!
by The Millennial Theatre Company 25 Nov '24

25 Nov '24

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 25, 2024 Who’s Holiday Plays This Weekend Only For 3 Performances At Hopewell Theatre! YOUNGSTOWN, OH – The Millennial Theatre Company (MTC) is proud to present the area premiere of the adult holiday comedy WHO’S HOLIDAY at Hopewell Theatre (702 Mahoning Ave, Youngstown, OH 44512) for one weekend only! Performances run Friday November 29 and Saturday November 30 at 7:30 pm and Sunday December 1 at 2:00pm. WHO’S HOLIDAY tells the story of Cindy Lou Who, 30 years after the events of The Grinch. Cindy is now in exile from Whoville. A series of bad decisions led her to destitution on Mt. Crumpit, then prison, and finally, the trailer she resides in today. WHO’S HOLIDAY is a wildly funny and heartfelt adults-only comedy, narrated entirely in rhyme by an adult Cindy, as she recalls that Christmas Eve she first met the Grinch and the twisted turn of events her life has now taken. Youngstown actress Brandy Johanntges stars as Cindy Lou Who. Director Joe Asente said that this production is a departure from what people have seen before MTC and from the holiday season, “MTC has made a name for itself over the years for producing large-scale musicals, and it is definitely where we are most comfortable. It takes a lot for us to even consider a play in our season. However, after seeing the New York version of this production livestream online during the COVID-19 pandemic, I knew that this was a show that our audiences would love, and we have been trying to find the best way to fit it into our season ever since. When I met Brandy Johanntges last season during Sweeney Todd, I knew straight away she was the person to lead this show. She brings the perfect amount of sweetness, spice, spunk, and spark to Cindy. She truly has risen to the challenge of this one-woman production.” Asente continued, “We all love the classics during the holidays, but I think Youngstown audiences are also always looking to expand their entertainment intake this time of year. With this zany, adults-only take on a childhood classic, this production has just the right amount of nostalgia to satisfy that fuzzy, warm Christmas part of your brain while still giving audiences a chance to laugh and enjoy all the humor that comes along with the season as well.” The production is directed by Joe Asente and stars Brandy Johanntges. Tickets start at $20 and are available online at www.millennialtheatre.org.

If you're Connie, Leona and Millie, three southern ladies from Birmingham, you do the most daring thing you've ever done. You "borrow" the ashes from the funeral home for one last card game, and the wildest, most exciting night of your lives involves a police raid, a stripper and a whole new way of looking at all the fun you can have when you're truly living. A winner of the AACTNewPlayFest, Exit Laughing broke all records for a nonmusical in Springfield Little Theatre's 50-year history at its premiere. CHARACTER BREAKDOWN RACHEL ANN (20’s): College student who seems to have issues with life and men. She has a bit of an attitude. CONNIE HARLAND (Mid-Late 50’s): Rachel’s mother.
