SUMMARY:Theater O Presents: The Outsiders
DESCRIPTION:Stage adaptation of the much loved novel\, The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton\nTickets $10 on sale here > \nFeaaturing Middle School performers\, the play deals with real people\, seen through the eyes of young Ponyboy\, a Greaser on the wrong side of life\, caught up in territorial battles between the have-it-made rich kids—the Socs—and his tough\, underprivileged “greaser” family and friends. In the midst of urban warfare\, somehow Ponyboy can’t forget a short poem that speaks of their fragile young lives: \nNature’s first green is gold\, Her hardest hue to hold.\nHer early leaf’s a flower; But only so an hour.\nThen leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief\,\nso dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay. \n“Robert Frost wrote it\,” Ponyboy tells Johnny. “I always remembered it because I never quite got what he meant by it.” Cherry\, a beautiful Soc\, comes to share a special sensitivity with Ponyboy as she discovers that he remembers poems and needs to watch sunsets. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAt the same time\, Cherry’s attracted to the older\, tougher Dallas\, and\, in a sense\, she’s caught in the violent space between the Greasers and the Socs. While the Socs appear to have everything\, the only thing a Greaser has is his friends. As these young people try to find themselves and each other\, as the sadness of sophistication begins to reach them and their battles and relationships reach a resolution\, Ponyboy’s dying friend\, Johnny\, sends him a last message … I’ve been thinking about the poem that guy wrote. He meant you’re gold when you’re a kid\, like green. When you’re a kid everything’s new\, dawn. It’s just when you get used to everything that it’s day. Like the way you dig sunsets\, Pony. That’s gold. Keep it that way. It’s a good way to be. This is a play about young people who are not yet hopeless about latent decency in the midst of struggle.

SUMMARY:SPARK
DESCRIPTION:SPARK\nJuly 12-14\, 2024 – One Weekend Only! \nSPARK is a thought-provoking and inspiring theatrical experience that captures the beauty and the drama of life and transformation. Told through the voices of 10 women\, SPARK is a tapestry of multi-layered personal stories\, movement and soul-stirring music covering identity\, loss\, love and growth. \nCreated by Tami McCarthy (Actor\, Artistic Director\, Writer\, Producer)\, SPARK is a profound journey into the depths of the human experience inspired by Tami’s own life. The experience weaves together a chorus of unique and powerful voices as the women in the cast reveal true life-changing moments when divine intervention or instinct takes control\, leading them to a spark that nurtured their spirit and lit the path ahead. \nSPARK serves as a mirror\, highlighting how we are all connected as it prompts audience members to reflect on their own moments of self-discovery while celebrating the resiliency of the human spirit. At times deeply jarring\, but ultimately uplifting\, SPARK encourages viewers to confront the complexities of life and\, in doing so\, find a sense of euphoric liberation. Together\, we reveal the malleable nature and complexity of the human experience\, and share in a revelatory moment that we are not alone.\n \nCreated\, Written\, Produced by Tami McCarthy. Creative Team: Directed by: Beth Spitalny\, Serena Norr\, Co-Writer and Co-Producer\, Music by Becki Davis and Lynne Barasch. Featuring Spoken Word Performances by Serena Norr\, Violet Benny\, Luz Michelle\, Monique Ford\, Shelley Molad\, Sarah Sanders\, Lynne Barasch\, Tami McCarthy\, and Shauna Lane; with a special performance by Inez Wilson and special appearance by Medicine Woman + Spiritual Healer Vasiliki Lagoudis. \nShowtimes\nFriday\, July 12\, 2024 8PM\nSaturday\, July 13\, 2024 2PM\nSaturday\, July 13\, 2024 8PM\nSunday\, July 14\, 2024 2PM \n$35 General Admission/$30 Senior/Student \nTickets for this show are non-refundable.

SUMMARY:SOLD OUT - SPARK - July 14 @ 2PM
DESCRIPTION:SPARK\nJuly 12-14\, 2024 – One Weekend Only! \nSPARK is a thought-provoking and inspiring theatrical experience that captures the beauty and the drama of life and transformation. Told through the voices of 10 women\, SPARK is a tapestry of multi-layered personal stories\, movement and soul-stirring music covering identity\, loss\, love and growth. \nCreated by Tami McCarthy (Actor\, Artistic Director\, Writer\, Producer)\, SPARK is a profound journey into the depths of the human experience inspired by Tami’s own life. The experience weaves together a chorus of unique and powerful voices as the women in the cast reveal true life-changing moments when divine intervention or instinct takes control\, leading them to a spark that nurtured their spirit and lit the path ahead. \nSPARK serves as a mirror\, highlighting how we are all connected as it prompts audience members to reflect on their own moments of self-discovery while celebrating the resiliency of the human spirit. At times deeply jarring\, but ultimately uplifting\, SPARK encourages viewers to confront the complexities of life and\, in doing so\, find a sense of euphoric liberation. Together\, we reveal the malleable nature and complexity of the human experience\, and share in a revelatory moment that we are not alone.\n \nCreated\, Written\, Produced by Tami McCarthy. Creative Team: Directed by: Beth Spitalny\, Serena Norr\, Co-Writer and Co-Producer\, Music by Becki Davis and Lynne Barasch. Featuring Spoken Word Performances by Serena Norr\, Violet Benny\, Luz Michelle\, Monique Ford\, Shelley Molad\, Sarah Sanders\, Lynne Barasch\, Tami McCarthy\, and Shauna Lane; with a special performance by Inez Wilson and special appearance by Medicine Woman + Spiritual Healer Vasiliki Lagoudis. \nShowtimes\nFriday\, July 12\, 2024 8PM\nSaturday\, July 13\, 2024 2PM\nSaturday\, July 13\, 2024 8PM\nSunday\, July 14\, 2024 2PM \n$35 General Admission/$30 Senior/Student \nTickets for this show are non-refundable.

SUMMARY:SOLD OUT! The Spirit of Truth - March 2
DESCRIPTION:The Spirit of Truth\nA Powerful Stage Play Illuminating the Untold Journey of Sojourner Truth\nSunday\, March 2 at 7PM – SOLD OUT!\nPlease be advised\, this production is meant for mature audiences only. Suggested for audiences 18+. Includes mature language and themes of sex and violence.   \nStep into the untold story of an icon\, Sojourner Truth. Her name is etched in history as a suffragist\, abolitionist\, and fearless voice for justice. But before she became the legend we know today\, there was a woman finding her way in the shadows of oppression\, deception\, and transformation.  \nSet against the backdrop of the 1830s\, The Spirit of Truth reveals an extraordinary chapter of Sojourner Truth’s life—the years she spent in the village of Sing Sing\, now Ossining. At the heart of the drama lies her entanglement with Zion\, a radical religious cult led by the enigmatic and dangerous Prophet Matthias. Lies\, betrayal\, sex\, adultery\, and even murder swirl in the wake of her search for faith and identity.  \nThrough these trials\, she emerges—not unscathed\, but unbroken—on her path to becoming one of America’s most profound voices for freedom and equality.  \nWitness the rise of a hero shaped by chaos\, tragedy\, and faith. Be transported to a time of fervent rebellion\, where Sojourner Truth discovers the power of her voice\, her mission\, and her unshakable spirit.  \nBecause history isn’t just what we know. It’s the truths we uncover.  \nWritten by acclaimed playwright Samuel Harps. Commissioned by Bethany Arts Community and meticulously researched by historian Joyce Sharrock Cole.
