Sinclair Community College’s Theatre department will be presenting the sex farce, “A Flea in Her Ear,” a play by Georges Feydeau, produced by Nelson Sheeley.
A graduate from Yale School of Drama, Sheeley is an award winning director and writer from New York City who has been a guest director and faculty member at Sinclair since 2006.
The play is set in Paris, France at the turn of the 20th century. Raymonde Chandebise, after years of wedded bliss, begins to doubt the fidelity of her husband who has suddenly become sexually inactive. She confides her doubts to her old friend Lucienne, who suggests ways to catch him in the act.
The play involves a large cast with mistaken identities — including a faithful and unfaithful spouses, a letter, a hotel, a naughty maid, a bellhop and a few gunshots.
The play will be held on April 4 through April 12 in the Blair Theatre, located in Building 2. Cast includes: Skyler Mcneely, Katie Beyoglides, David Brandt, Sydney Back, Tray Shelton, Woody Hieb, Jonathan Sheehan, Destre Inlow, John Ray, Anna Sheldon, Jessica Zula, Katie Paeg, Kory Copeland and Bill Styles.
Performance days are Fridays and Saturday at 8 p.m. On Sunday April 6, a matinee will be held at 2 p.m., and a downtown Dayton Thursday Night’s performance will take place at 7 p.m. on April 10. All seats are reserved, and cost $15 for adults and $10 for students, seniors and Sinclair employees. All Thursday tickets cost an additional $5 each and include preshow appetizers and a cash bar beginning at 6 p.m. Tickets are on sale now at: www.sinclair.edu/tickets.
