Chillicothe Theater Program to Present Encore Performances of
Fall Collection and The Quick-Change Room
The Ohio University-Chillicothe theater program will present two performances during winter quarter, including an encore performance of Fall Collection on Feb. 12 & 13, and The Quick-Change Room on March 19 & 20. All performances begin at 8 p.m. in the Bennett Hall auditorium.
Tickets are $10 for adults, $9 for senior citizens, free for Chillicothe students and are available at the Bennett Hall Information Desk during business hours and at the Chillicothe Box Office the evenings of performances. Group rates of $8 per ticket are also available.
Fall Collection, a thought-provoking drama that is written and directed by Chillicothe faculty member Ken Breidenbaugh, was originally performed in November and is being staged again by popular demand.
Set in Indiana, the play concerns Edith Whiting, an old couturier whose life has been spent selling and enjoying ultra high fashion. With her sister, who is now gone, she has operated a dress shop in a small town for 50 years. Now, in her 80th year, Edith finds herself having to decide what to do with her own extensive personal collection of important clothes. Should she give the articles to a professional collection of fashion housed at a state university?
Her decision is complicated by the recent arrival of a man whose past astounds her, by a local museum member whose driving ambition has been to pry the clothes from Edith’s home and by the director of the costume collection at the university. Old Mr. Kellough, a gentleman farmer and lifelong friend, assists in the quandary, as does William, Edith’s nephew.
The Quick-Change Room is a comedy set in 1991 in St. Petersburg, Russia, that portrays the theater company’s struggles to learn the rules of commercialism as the Soviet government is toppled. More information on the play will be forthcoming closer to the date of the performance.Photo: Actors rehearse a scene from Fall Collection.
