Heavenly Bodies
2025-11-01 18:30 - 23:00 | Birch Manor, 720 Jacoby Road, Xenia, OH, 45385, USA
Dayton’s own, Dirt Words presents Heavenly Bodies, an immersive theatrical experience! Brace yourself for a night of terror and titillation. Immersive theatre blurs the lines between audience and performance. Here, everyone is a part of the story.
Once upon a time in 1962, there was a lonely house tucked deep in the forest. The closest evidence of civilization only found on thinly paved country roads. It once served as a boarding house for those in need; those downtrodden and suffering with vices far too taboo for the quiet Christian towns they came from. This house was a sanctuary for those lost souls searching for a chance to be found again. At first it was celebrated by the larger community of the neighboring village but when strange rumors began to surface of bizarre goings on within, opinions shifted. Then something terrible happened; 6 people wound up missing– all tenants of Birch House. Stories of lust, loss, and mortal sin were whispered between neighbors, but no one knows exactly what happened on this desolate property. Some say that if you listen closely, you can still hear the moans of orgasms echoing from the past…
Staying true to the Dirty Words literary nature, Heavenly Bodies is inspired by literature and storytelling taken directly from real vintage Penthouse letters, extremist erotic pros from the French poet Pierre Louys, and a little bit of blasphemy straight from the Bible for good measure. We take what we read and spin those stories into a fully fleshed world. One you will likely become completely lost within. Let yourself be whisked away into the world of the Dead. Do not expect a stage; do not even expect to remember who you are. Heavenly Bodies is a portal into worlds beyond The Viel. You will leave transformed.
Heavenly Bodies will run for two nights; October 31st and November 1st. Doors open at 6:30 PM.
Must be 18+ to attend.

A tempestuous heart. A fatal attraction. Seductive music.
This is Bizet’s iconic Carmen—the story of a fiery woman who dances to her own rhythm, a soldier consumed by her captivating spirit, and the jealousy that propels them toward tragedy.

We’ve assembled an all-female team to lead this story: Chelsea Gallo, a rising star within the conducting world, Irene Rodriguez, an award-winning Flamenco dancer and choreographer, and Dayton Opera’s Artistic Director Kathleen Clawson as stage director.

Following a tragedy on her wedding day, Eurydice embarks to the underworld reconnecting with her father and grappling with memories of a lost love. Featuring contemporary characters and imaginative plot twists, this play offers a captivating view of a timeless love story.
Character Breakdown:
– EurydiceFemale presenting, 18 to 25ish, All races and ethnicities
Eurydice is naïve, but is also curious, truthful, and has a love for books and a thirst for knowledge. Eurydice and Orpheus should be played as though they are a little too young and little too in love. After her premature death, she is reunited with her loving father who helps her remember life as it was.

– Her FatherMale presenting, 35 to 55, All races and ethnicities
Resident of the underworld, he watches Eurydice from afar, gently cares for her after her death, and helps her remember details of her life. He is patient, empathetic, a good instructor and storyteller.

– OrpheusMale presenting, 20 to 30, All races and ethnicities encouraged. Guitar or other Instrument ability experience preferred but not required.
Orpheus is a renowned and talented musician and composer who prefers music to words and is very much in love with Eurydice. Orpheus and Eurydice should be played as though they are a little too young and little too in love. When she dies shortly after their wedding, he makes the harrowing journey to the underworld to rescue her.

– A Nasty Interesting Person/Lord of the UnderworldAll genders, races, and ages welcome.
They orchestrate every other character’s suffering. They are the catalyst of Eurydice’s death. They make a lopsided deal with Orpheus, and they want Eurydice for their bride.
