Troy Civic Center

Troy Civic Theatre Presents “Making God Laugh”

May 1, 2018 By Dayton Most Metro

Troy Civic Theatre announces their upcoming production, MAKING GOD LAUGH.

Woody Allen once said: “If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans”. Sean Grennan’s heart-warming dramatic comedy MAKING GOD LAUGH follows Ruth, Bill, and their three grown children during various holidays over the course of 30 years. Beginning in 1980, Richard, Tom, and Maddie start making plans for their lives, never guessing where their paths will end.

Director Steve Dietrich, from Sidney, is assisted by stage manager Peg Dietrich. MAKING GOD LAUGH stars Dayton actors Alain Alejandro as Bill, Rachel Smith as Maddie, and Gage Emerson as Richard, Troy actor Beth Shrake as Ruth, and Tipp City actor Derek Dunavent as Tom.

MAKING GOD LAUGH is being presented with permission from Playscripts. Performances run May 4-6, 11-13, 2018 at the Barn in the Park on Adams Street in Troy, at 8 pm on Fridays and Saturdays, and 2 pm on Sundays. Tickets are $14 each, and are available by calling the theatre box office at 937-339-7700 or online at troycivictheatre.com.

Troy Civic Theatre is a non-profit community theatre located about 20 minutes north of Dayton. TCT has been honored with several Dayton-area and Ohio regional and state performance and technical awards over the years, and has continued to bring quality entertainment to Troy for more than 50 years. For more information, please contact the theatre at 937-339-7700 or visit their website at http://www.troycivictheatre.com.
