If you are a previous season ticket holder you may call now for tickets! 440-988-5613 Our first show will be PANACHE By Don Gordon Directed By Pat Price In his off-Broadway hit comedy, Panache, playwright Don Gordon creates an unusual relationship between Harry, a fry cook cum artist, depressed by a tragic event in his life, and Kathleen, an upper-class married woman, who turns up at his shabby apartment on an unlikely mission: to obtain the personalized license plate reading PANACHE that has already been issued to Harry. Surely Harry was meant to receive the plate PANCAKE that the DMV has sent her. Harry has his reasons for refusing to exchange plates. Kathleen resolves to use her feminine charms and her checkbook to make Harry fork over the goods. But nothing is simple, and what begins as a ridiculous squabble over a seemingly unimportant matter turns into a poignant, funny, and bumpy ride toward the mending of two broken lives.

Based on Roy Horniman’s novel *Israel Rank: The Autobiography of a Criminal*, Robert L. Freedman authored the play’s book, joining composer Steven Lutvak to write the lyrics. The show won four Tony Awards including Best Musical. “This production's secret weapon isn't the poison in Monty's pocket but Lutvak's jaunty score, which sounds both fresh and period-perfect with its echoes of Gilbert and Sullivan and classic British music hall.” *Entertainment Weekly* *Ann E. Nyenhuis* directs the rollicking tale of Edwardian melodrama with music director *Dustin Oliver*, choreographer *Marc C. Howard*, and producer *Katie Hintze*. *Josh Budd* takes on the role of the suave and cunning anti-hero Monty Navarro with *Mark Hilan *as the madcap D’Ysquith family. *Hannah Marzano *plays Monty’s love interest, Sibella Hallward, with *Libby Merriman *as Miss Shingle, and* Amanda Medley *as Phoebe D'Ysquith. Completing the multitalented ensemble cast are: *Patrick Jalbert, Thomas Love, David Rusnak, Alexandria Petsche, Lisa Georges,* and* Samantha Ksiezyk-DeCrane.* *Jerry Schaber* serves as stage manager with assistant stage manager *Amie Gabel*, who is also liaison to the ACT Board. *Rollin DeVere* is prop master, and *Dave Nyenhuis* will manage the run crew. *Joe Sorzano* is the dialect coach. *Todd Plone* designed the set, *Karen Cirino* the costumes, *Tara Codella* the lighting, and *Maggie Hamilton*, the sound. Ann Nyenhuis led the set construction crew which included members of the ensemble cast, *Jerry Schaber, Paul Mira, Ashley Mira, Amie Gabel,* *Henry Burkhardt, Braden Stiller, Brad Hills,** Dave Nyenhuis*, and* Joe Gillett.* In the Aurora Community Theatre tradition of presenting top-quality entertainment, the production will be accompanied by a live orchestra including*: Dustin Oliver*, conductor, also on keyboard, *Alice Mantey* on oboe and English horn, *Tyler Harding *percussion, *Jonathan "Skip" Edwards *on bass, *David Ciucevich, *clarinet, and *Michelle Swiniarski, *trumpet. “Bloodlust hasn’t sung so sweetly, or provided so much theatrical fun, since *Sweeney Todd* first wielded his razor with gusto many a long year ago.” *New York Times* *Tickets at $18 each for adults, $13 for youth age 18 and under are available online anytime, including seat selection, at www.auroracommunitytheatre.com <http://www.auroracommunitytheatre.com> or by calling 330-562-1818.* *PLEASE NOTE Aurora Community Theatre requires proof of vaccination or of a negative Covid-19 test from within 72 hours of the performance date and time for entry. In addition, masks are required inside the building, lobby and all public spaces.* *A GENTLEMAN’S GUIDE TO LOVE & MURDER* is presented with permission by Musical Theatre International, MTI.
