‘Gimme, Gimme, Gimme’ an ABBA Sing-Along, DGMC Style!!

March 29, 2023 By Joshua Stucky

 

Are you a ‘Super Trouper?’ Come, sing-along!

I was so excited to catch up with Marc Driscoll of Dayton‘s fabulous Gay Men’s Chorus! Word is out about their upcoming sing-along with ‘Mamma Mia‘ the movie. I had to get more information, so we met….and it went something like this!

JS: Marc! So good to see you. So, tell me about your upcoming benefit!

MD: The Dayton Gay Men’s Chorus is having a Benefit….A Mamma Mia Sing Along which  will be held Sunday, April 16 at the Plaza Theatre in Miamisburg (33 South Main Street Miamisburg). Doors will open at 5:00 with the show starting around 6:00. Tickets are $20 a piece and can be purchased through the Dayton Gay Men’s Chorus website: daytongaymenschorus.org

JS: That sounds fun, and fantastic! A Sing-Along can mean different things to different people. Elaborate on what folks can expect!

MD: Oh sure…The night will feature a limited song selection from the Dayton Gay Men’s Chorus leading into the main event. Audience members will view the 2008 film Mamma Mia featuring the hit songs of ABBA. During the movie, lyrics to songs will appear on screen and audience members will be encouraged to sing along with the film. In addition to this there will be “call out” moments during the film to get members engaged in the story.

JS: The great thing is, we all are familiar with ABBA‘s music, so it surely will have people at ease to sing! You boys always have prizes and such at your events. What about this time around?

MD: Before the show and during the intermission audience members will have the opportunity to purchase raffle tickets for gift baskets featuring donations from several local vendors. Audience members can also purchase alcoholic beverages, soda, and snacks similar to any experience at the movie theatre.

JS: Now look sir, the alcohol will really put people at ease to sing! Good thinking!

MD: YES!!! The idea for the night is for folks to let go and have fun singing along with the movie. It is an opportunity to raise money for the Dayton Gay Men’s Chorus, but also to have fun with members of the chorus in the audience.

JS: I was in the chorus for one day…literally…but I realized right away, you gentlemen are pros at this. Which brings me to how smart you are to provide the lyrics….

MD: Oh yeah, for sure. The will appear on screen as the movie is playing… This is similar to the traditional “bouncing ball” or karaoke experience.

JS: And I know it’s a benefit for the chorus. How will the proceeds be used?

One of Dayton’s Treasures!

MD: Money raised will be used for things like purchasing the rights to music, securing performance venues, salaries for support staff etc.

JS: Venues like the Plaza Theater!

MD:  Exactly! The Plaza Theatre in Miamisburg has been beautifully restored and will be an awesome venue to get to experience ABBA.

JS: Should people dress in a certain way, or do their hair ABBA style?

MD: People are encouraged to wear resort wear or tropical wear to help get in the mood of the film.

JS: Super fun! Before I let you go, what else does the DGMC have coming up…I know you have a devoted fan base, for sure!

20 Years of the DGMC…and more to come!

MD: This year we have been celebrating the Dayton Gay Men’s Chorus’ 20th season, and we have been practicing since January to prepare for our Spring show, “Still Gay After All These Years.” This will be held on June 17th at the Dayton Masonic Center at 8:00 PM.  This show will be a review of some of our favorite songs throughout the twenty years. In addition, this show is part of our DGMC Gives Back theme for the year. This means that the June concert will be 100% free!

JS: What a treasure we have in Dayton with you guys!! Congrats on 20 years! I know the sing-along will be a hit! THANK YOU for meeting with me!

MD: THANK YOU!

 

About the DGMC: Founded in 2003, DGMC is committed to continually reaching for excellence in choral music, forging active community partnerships and educating others about the value of diversity. We offer a broad range of musical styles from serious to the sublime—heavy to hysterical. Our members have a dedication to the choral arts and the desire to become part of a singing, gay-affirming community—and, no, you don’t have to be gay to join us!

Wright State’s ‘On The Town’ Elevates Local Theater!

March 27, 2023 By Joshua Stucky

WSU’s ‘On the Town’ is Old Broadway Elevated!

Dayton Theater has had a great winter. Name a theater company in the area and you will likely find a good review for their most recent endeavor. Most of those shows were based on contemporary, more recent scripts, Titles that are ‘of the now.’ So imagine how refreshing it was to see a good old-fashioned Broadway Show at the Gem of Musical Theater…WRIGHT STATE UNIVERSITY.

From Sets to Songs, ‘On the Town’ delivers!

I’m not going to lie…when I suggested ‘On The Town‘ to friends and family, there were questions….’You Mean Like The Movie on TMC?’ or  ‘On the Town...the sailor story…wasn’t that Sinatra?’ or ‘Wright State is Doing ‘On the Town?’ That’s an undertaking!’ I assured them, you can trust Joe Deer (Director) and the entire team! This team includes Music Director F. Wade Russo, who leads a 19 piece ‘on-stage’ orchestra! That alone is old-school magic. The show is around 80 years old…yes, 80 years old…but this production is alive and vibrant with choreography by Broadway’s Josh Walden. The dances are at times intricate and mesmerizing, and then, whimsical and bouncy! These kids can DANCE, and Walden obviously trusted their talents! They cover it all. From Ballet to 40’s Swing, the cast captures it.

‘But is it fun?‘ You ask? ‘The Movie was fun!‘ And it is. The sets harken to post war NYC and are a great blend of silly (T-Rex) and sound (the subway scenes.) Joe Deer’s direction allows the actors freedom to be goofy in those tongue-in-cheek moments, and reels in back in when the show returns to romance. It must be said that WSU’s version takes on the entire Leonard Bernstein score…..WOW! WOW! WOW! That’s an undertaking alright! You will recognize many of the songs, and may leave with ‘New York, New York- A Helluva town…the Bronx is up but the Battery’s down…’ repeating in your head.

These kids can dance!

It’s hard to highlight the cast individually as they all take on their role with spirit and enthusiasm. Tanner Gleeson (Gabey) is hard not to watch with his expressive presence and spot-on dancing.  Amy VanDyke (Ivy) pairs well with him as the love interest. Their Coney Island scene garnered applause mid-dance…it was well executed.  The other lead couples Ben Ohnemus (Chip) & Trinity Wolff (Hildy) and John Cuozzo (Ozzie) & Melissa Mataresse (Claire) keep the show moving forward with laughs and lunacy! Kevin Lausche‘s role as Pitkin was an obvious audience favorite as well. Just as enthusiastic are the musicians who handled the extensive score splendidly.

Look, big musicals are not easy to execute. There are so many moving parts, and each domino has to fall just right! And for this cast and crew it worked…beautifully. As I was leaving the theater, a patron said ‘Those students must be exhausted. They never stopped!’ My response…’Let’s hope they never do!’  Whatever magic happened that day, from a script now 8 decades old, with students in their twenties, is what theater should do! Leave you wondering….’How did they do that?’ Bravo WSU….for two and half hours, we were ‘Carried Away!’

Wright State is still the Gem of Musical Theater!

Performances take place April 6 at 7 p.m.; April 7 and 8 at 8 p.m.; April 8 at 2 p.m.

Tickets are $25 for adults, $23 for senior citizens and $15 for students.

Tickets can be purchased online or at the Creative Arts Center box office weekdays between noon and 4 p.m.

The show takes place in the Festival Playhouse.

How To Get Your House A Starring Role In A Movie

March 25, 2023 By Dayton937

 

From swanky mansions to creepy cabins, your house could star in Hollywood’s next big blockbuster.  According to Dayton Film Commissioner Lisa Grigsby, location scouts are always on the lookout for interesting properties. “Generally, they want a house with an open concept. Somewhere where you can put a camera and half the house won’t disappear. You want something that flows and gets good light,” she explained.  It’s not just mansions that make the ideal film location.  Sometimes the production team is looking for something tiny, dilapidated or even “haunted-looking.” Cabins, barns, lofts and farms are all on the list of locations Grigsby has scouted for area films.

As for how long the filming process takes, Grigsby says it depends entirely on the shoot.

“If they’re filming for three weeks, there’s generally  three days of prep and a wrap of three days after. You could be out of the house for an entire month if you’re willing to do that,” she said.  Most shoots in the Miami Valley last two to four days. Financial compensation for locations depends on the kind of house, the kind of scene and the size of the film. The key is to negotiate a rate that makes both parties happy, she said.  It’s not unusual to have a production pay to put you up in a hotel while they use your house.

While some people may be wary of handing over their property to film crews, Grigsby says the industry standard is to return the house exactly as it is found. Professional film companies will draw up a formal contract and provide insurance to cover any damage that could happen in the house, he said. Crews work professionally in the space and often cardboard-up walls and cover floors, she added. “By the end of it, your house should be back to normal in every way,” Grigsby explains.

Registering your house

Registering your property is done through an online registry run by FilmDayton and is free. The first step is creating a digital photo tour of your property, featuring as many wide shots as you can. If you can show multiple rooms in one shot, that’s great because then you can show action in different areas when you’re filming. Special features like pools, stairways, or interesting architectural details should be highlighted.  Here’s an example of what a listing looks like:

FilmDayton is hosting an information session this Monday night at their space on the 2nd floor of the Dayton Mall from 6-7pm.  Grigsby will talk about how the process works and what it means to list in their database. This event will provide property owners the opportunity to have their house, farm, cabin, trailer listed in our FilmDayton location database.  You are welcome to bring digital photo’s of your property and they’ll help you fill out the property information forms required to be in the database.   No contact info is shared with the public.
If there is any interest in your house, the commission will contact you directly to share production contacts with you.

Help Celebrate Local Veteran’s 100th Birthday

March 18, 2023 By Guest Contributor

A Dayton veteran who spent his life giving back to others is turning 100 years old next month, and his family and friends are asking for the community’s help with a special birthday surprise.

Master Sergeant Richard Gard will be turning 100 on April 6, and his loved ones are asking the community to send him birthday cards. They are collecting the cards for the big reveal on his birthday.

You can mail a card to: M/Sgt Richard Gard, c/o 70 Pine Street, Franklin, OH 45005

Master Sergeant Richard Gard was born April 6, 1923 in the Ohio half of Union City, and his family settled in the Dayton area.

He met his future wife, Gladys, while roller skating in Dayton. Upon his completion of basic training, Gladys traveled to Louisiana where they were married prior to his deployment overseas. They will celebrate their 79th wedding anniversary in June.

Landing in Normandy on D-Day+3, Master Sergeant Gard participated in the breakout from the beachhead through France to Brest.

During the Battle of the Bulge, he was awarded the Silver Star for gallantry in action. In addition, he earned two Bronze Stars and the Purple Heart, as well as decorations from Bastogne, Belgium and France.

Master Sergeant Gard was recalled to active duty for the Korean War in 1950. After the war, he earned an engineering degree from the University of Dayton.

In addition to the cards, a birthday parade will be held for Master Sergeant Gard on April 6 at 5:30 p.m. starting on Pearhill Drive in West Carrollton.

Our World Needs Hugs….Enter Mama Bears!

March 16, 2023 By Joshua Stucky

We are at a weird crossroads in our country. America was once the vision of open-mindedness and acceptance, but we have fast become a cancel culture hell-bent on us vs. them. Blame whatever you need to….social media, Trump, Russia….but the truth is, empathy can only come from one place….US! In this time of deep judgement, angst and side-eyeing, Emmy-winner Daresha Kyi‘s ‘Mama Bears’ documentary teaches us about the impact of self-awareness. (Kyi is from Dayton!)

Daresha Kyi Connects Again!

The film centers on conservative, ultra-religious mothers who happen to be parents of LGBTQ children. And there within lies the door to understanding. It isn’t easy, quite the opposite. Their journeys that we join are tough, raw and at times, very uncomfortable. Luckily, Dayton was privy to this heartfelt film thanks to the Director herself arranging a screening at the Neon Movies. Thanks to the Hope Collective Church, the film was free…they hold their services at the Neon on Sundays. Fear not, however, the film is coming to PBS on the Independent Lens series Tuesday, June 20th. And it is a must-see.

The ‘Mama Bears’ movement is expanding daily, as more and more mothers ‘come out of their own closets’ to help their LGBTQ children navigate a less than perfect world. Their stories….told masterfully, because it is those dealing with the situations that share them…range from a lesbian making her way ‘out’ with a devout, yet open mother; a trans child, facing a Texas backlash about bathrooms; and a mother learning that her son may not be exactly what she envisioned. Each, heart-wrenching and jolting to these mothers who have long relied on the word of ‘God’ as translated by a fundamentalist congregation.

You are with the mothers, on a path….at times wanting to shake them silly, and at others wanting to hold them and show them they can do this!  And they will ‘get there’…in their own time…weaving through a series of setbacks as they try to keep their deep Christian voice, and yet protect their own. For those in the LGBTQ community, the pain is familiar. The idea that parents can be so sure of their feelings, that they lose sight of their love for their own children…hard to swallow, but it’s real. It’s all around us. And as the film unfolds, slowly, they begin to hear a different voice…a new idea….a threat of sorts to their everyday…but oh, what reconciliation can do!  They begin to realize that nothing and no one should stand in the way of a good life for their kids. That inner-voice is really the driving force behind any and all Mama Bears!

Kimberly and Kai Shappley face Trans-Phobia.

We see in the struggle, the need for acceptance and camaraderie. And, through Facebook, and word of mouth, these newly awakened mothers find their children, themselves and their pack! That pack, Mama Bears, can be seen throughout our country at PRIDE events, PFLAG meet-ups and more….there for one simple reason, to give Free Hugs to those LGBTQ kids and adults, who have lost that connection in their own life.

Allow yourself the opportunity to watch the film…it’s hopeful, Especially in this world of ‘No Drag Queens,’ ‘No Trans,’ and ‘No Way But My Way’ mentalities. Our world is suffering, not because we lack the ability to understand and listen….but because we CHOOSE not TO! You might be surprised how this film helps us open up….and open wide our arms for one big MAMA BEAR HUG!

Enjoy there trailer:

Cake, Hope & Love & Giovanni’s Stepping Up, After High Schooler Has Heart Attack

March 11, 2023 By Guest Contributor

This Stebbins high school senior, Ebonie, was at track practice and started to not feel good and went to see the trainers. She passed out and with the quick thinking of the trainers, they started CPR. They had to use a defibrillator to try to restart her heart. She was then transported to Dayton Children’s and had to be shocked a total of 7x by the time she got there. Upon arriving at Children’s, it was determined she needed to be transferred to Cincinnati Children’s.
Ebonie was Careflighted down to Cincinnati where she received a heart cath and was found to have 2 blockages in her heart. Ebonie was then transferred to UC Medical where they specialize in treating blockages of the LAD. Doctors were able to clear one of the blockages in her heart, but there was still a second they could not clear. The second blockage was in place for at least 30 hours before it was discovered. It is unclear what damage if any, Ebonies heart sustained.
Ebonie had what is called a Widowmaker heart attack, a heart attack in which you have a full blockage of the left anterior descending artery (LAD). She is currently on ECMO to try and give her heart and lungs some much-needed rest. The next few days will determine if she improves on her own or if an internal heart pump will be needed. They are anticipating being in the hospital for the next at least 4 weeks.
According to The Teague’s, who own Cake, Hope & Love in Beavercreek, and are friends of the family,  “she’s a sassy ray of sunshine with dimples. She’s smart, driven, athletic, and a pure joy to be around. She’s been a football teammate for my son, a player for my husband to coach, our dog sitter, and a sweet friend to our family. I even have her basketball picture magnet on my oven here at the bakery!”
To help offset the cost of the bills and for her mom Beverly be with her at the hospital Cake, Hope and Love are donating proceeds of their sales yesterday and today, as well as from St. Patrick’s Day Cookie Boxes you can order this his week.  You can pre-order your cookies online for pick up next Friday or Saturday.
Also joining the fundraising for Ebonie, Giovanni’s Fairborn has stepped up and will be opening for business this “Tuesday from 4-7pm,  and doing what will likely be their last soup event of the winter. They will also be selling pizzas, salads, desserts, and a feature dinner that we will announce soon. A portion of our sales this Tuesday will be going to this young lady and her family. Her mother is currently staying at a hotel across the street and as you can imagine the ICU stay and the hotel are costing the family an astronomical amount. We want to help. As a mother I could not imagine my high school age daughter fighting for her life after a heart attack. As a daughter who’s father had heart issues I know how delicate the situation can be. Please please come out and get a pizza and one of our homemade soups or even just a slice of tiramisu. I know our Giovanni’s family always shows up when it’s important and we really hope to see you Tuesday from 4-7. We will post the full menu soon.”
Until then the soups they will be selling by quart and half gallon are:
  • Cream of Wild Mushroom Soup
  • Creamy Chicken & Tortellini Soup
  • Minestrone
  • Spicy Garlic Chicken
  • Shrimp & Corn Chowder
  • Tomato Basil Bisque

There has also been a Go Fund Me set up if you’d like to help support the family.

The Big Lebowski Movie Party happening at The Brightside

March 9, 2023 By Dayton Most Metro

Dayton Dinner Theater’s Big Lebowski Movie Party is happening at The Brightside this Sunday, March 12, 2023.

DDT is a great way to spend time with family and friends when the days are short and nights are long. Make the most of it by sipping the sublime themed drinks with your loved ones, while flaunting your movie-themed attire. 

What to expect from a Dayton Dinner Theater event? First off, make sure you indulge in the creatively themed food provided by Brock Masterson catering. While you indulge in the delicacies, you can feast your ears to live music and soundtrack presentations featuring acts by the likes of The University of Dayton Jazz Ensemble and acclaimed musician and producer Denny Wilson.

That’s not all. As it’s an interactive movie party, organizers will feature famous interactive quote and fun participation activities, pop-up fun facts, and our not-so-famous, but equally entertaining, theme-spotting drinking game. Enjoy some lip-smacking-themed desserts while you’re at it! To add the cherry on the cake, there are special surprises for the top costume contest participants.

This is the last DDT event of the season. Their movie party series runs from the fall through early spring every year, so you won’t want to miss this opportunity to experience all the fun!

Read more below about the specifics for this movie party!

World Famous  Themed Cocktails:

“The Dude Abides” –  Captain, Malibu, Melon and Orange Liqueur, and pineapple juice

“The Caucasian” – Vodka, Kahlua, and half and half with a bowling ball drink pick

“The  Lady Friend”-  Pink lemonade and sprite with fresh lemons

Themed Attire:  Pick your character….  Slacker robe and sandals, Nihilist-Euro trash, porn star, Jesus leisure suit, regular bowler guy, urban combat vet, etc …

HOW TO GO?

Mar 12, 6:00 PM

The Brightside, 905 E 3rd St, Dayton, OH 45402, USA
