Upcoming Chillicothe Campus Theater Production
Shines Spotlight on the Live and Times of John Barrymore
The Ohio University-Chillicothe theater program will present Barrymore, a play about great stage and film actor John Barrymore, at 8 p.m. on June 4 and June 5 in the Bennett Hall auditorium.
Tickets are $10 for adults, $9 for senior citizens, free for OU-C students. Tickets are available at the Bennett Hall Information Desk during business hours and at the OU-C Box Office on the evenings of performances. Group rates of $8 per ticket are also available.
“The play focuses on Barrymore’s efforts to reignite his career on stage one last time, despite alcoholism and general extravagance,” said OU-C faculty member Ken Breidenbaugh, who directs the play. “It is set in 1942, the year preceding his death. It is a wildly entertaining and moving production, and it is full of theater history and lore.”
Leading actors are Dan Jalbuena, as Barrymore, and Taylor Hicks, who plays the role of the prompter/manager who attempts to keep Barrrymore on task in the rehearsal process.
