SUMMARY:An Evening with Henhouse Prowlers
DESCRIPTION:Henhouse Prowlers at The Brightside \nWednesday\, May 7\, 2026 | Doors 7PM / Show 7:30PM \nAll Ages | $20 General Admission | Reserved Tables Available \nChicago’s Henhouse Prowlers have spent 20 years crisscrossing the globe\, including 34 countries on 5 continents\, and every mile of it shows up in their music. Rooted in bluegrass and classic country but impossible to pin down\, Ben Wright (banjo)\, Chris Dollar (guitar)\, Jon Goldfine (bass)\, and Jake Howard (mandolin) bring a four-part harmony and a world-worn perspective to everything they play. \nTheir latest record\, Unravel\, produced by Stephen Mougin (Sam Bush Band)\, is their most expansive yet — road-worn storytelling\, flashes of modern Americana\, and picking as ferocious as ever. But the real magic happens live\, where their extensive songbook gets woven together with tales from the road\, and bluegrassy takes on international tunes that might just be in a language you’ve never heard before. \nAs founding members of Bluegrass Ambassadors and partners of the U.S. State Department\, the Prowlers are more than a band — they’re proof that music builds the bridges words can’t. Come hear what 20 years of chasing something beautiful sounds like. \nHOW TO GO? \n🕖 Thursday\, May 7th / Doors 7PM / Show 7:30PM \n📍 The Brightside — 905 E. 3rd St.\, Dayton\, OH \n🎵 $20 General Admission (advance) | $25 Day of Show \n☺️ All Ages | Reserved Tables Available

SUMMARY:I Remember Mama
DESCRIPTION:John Van Druten’s gratifyingly sentimental play shows how Mama\, with the help of her husband and Uncle Chris\, brings up the children in their modest San Francisco home during the early years of the 20th century. Mama\, a sweet and capable manager\, sees her children through childhood\, manages to educate them\, and helps one of her daughters begin her career as a writer. Mama’s sisters and uncle furnish a rich background for a great deal of comedy and a little incidental tragedy\, while the doings of the children keep everyone in pleasant turmoil.

Mama’s sisters and uncle furnish a rich background for a great deal of comedy and a little incidental tragedy\, while the doings of the children keep everyone in pleasant turmoil.

SUMMARY:Shock Theater Live: A Multimedia Rock-Theater Performance
DESCRIPTION:SHOCK THEATRE LIVE is a multimedia rock and roll theater piece that follows five misfit kids as they attend a concert by their favorite band\, The Creepy Crawlers \n \nAlong the way\, they share their struggles\, their dreams\, and ultimately discover that they’re not alone\, and by the end of the show\, they don’t just meet the band… they become them! The show is about finding your place in a complicated world\, and how so-called “freaks” or “horror kids” aren’t broken\, they’re just expressing truth through a different lens. It’s loud\, funny\, heartfelt\, and a love letter to all the outsiders trying to belong. \nThe show is part of Dayton Live’s inaugural Emerging Artists series\, and pays homage to the legacy of local horror-hosted television\, including the original “Shock Theater” featuring Dr. Creep (Barry Hobart). \nSHOCK THEATRE LIVE is rated PG-13 for strong language and mature references. We encourage families to research titles and decide what is appropriate for them and their party before tickets are purchased.  Tickets available here.

SUMMARY:The Full Monty
DESCRIPTION:Get ready to let it all go! The Dayton Playhouse is proud to present the Tony Award-nominated musical\, The Full Monty \nBased on the cult-classic film\, this heartwarming and hilarious musical follows a group of unemployed steelworkers in Buffalo\, New York. Feeling hopeless and “scrapped\,” the men decide to transform themselves into a striptease act to raise some quick cash—only to discover they have much more to offer than just their clothes. \n“This show is so much more than its famous ending\,” says Tim Rezash\, Director. “It’s a story about friendship\, body image\, and the lengths we go to for the people we love. We can’t wait for Dayton audiences to see the incredible heart—and humor—this cast brings to the stage.” \n🗓️ Performance Dates: \n\nOpening Night: Friday\, May 15 at 8:00 PM\nFridays & Saturdays: 8:00 PM\nSundays: 2:00 PM\nFinal Performance: Sunday\, May 31\n\n📍 Location: The Dayton Playhouse 1301 E.

Group discounts are available for parties of 8 or more. \nWhen a group of out-of-work steelworkers discover just how much their wives enjoy a Girls’ Night Out\, they come up with a daring plan to make some quick cash. The catch? They’ll have to put it all on the line—literally! A feel-good musical about friendship\, self-acceptance\, and breaking stereotypes\, The Full Monty is the perfect way to end the season with a bang!  This production contains mature themes\, including adult language\, nudity\, and discussion of suicide. Viewer discretion is advised.

SUMMARY:I Remember Mama
DESCRIPTION:John Van Druten’s gratifyingly sentimental play shows how Mama\, with the help of her husband and Uncle Chris\, brings up the children in their modest San Francisco home during the early years of the 20th century. Mama\, a sweet and capable manager\, sees her children through childhood\, manages to educate them\, and helps one of her daughters begin her career as a writer. Mama’s sisters and uncle furnish a rich background for a great deal of comedy and a little incidental tragedy\, while the doings of the children keep everyone in pleasant turmoil.
