30 second: The teen summer productions of Mel Brooks’ and Thomas Meehan’s musical YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN, directed by Ti Ames, and William Shakespeare’s CORIOLANUS, directed by Daniel Kunkel, run July 10 through July 26 at Live Arts Theater in downtown Charlottesville. YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN and CORIOLANUS play in rotating repertory. The young actors in these two productions play three characters – their two distinct roles in a glorious silly musical and a Shakespearean tragedy, plus a third role as a member of a hard-scrabble student-run drama club, trying to put it all together. Come see a fresh and unexpected telling of two classic theatrical works! Visit livearts.org for tickets and information.

A man can't keep his sneezes to himself. A woman walks on stage to audition for a mysterious director. A gout-ridden banker is accosted by a hysterical customer. It's Chekov by way of Neil Simon in The Good Doctor, a collection of short stories coming to life on stage as Chekov writes them, spanning tales of love, manners, and dental appointments. Funny, poignant, and full of whimsy, The Good Doctor runs the gamut and will give you your bang for your rubles.

This play is presented as part of Oak Grove Theater's 2025 season. Tickets must be purchased for the entire season - no individual tickets are sold. Season tickets are $60 for all 5 shows. Find more information at oakgrovetheater.org and purchase tickets here.

Oak Grove Theater is a community theater group that performs an annual five-play summer season. The plays are performed at night, out-of-doors, at beautiful Oak Grove just outside of Verona. Please feel free to come picnic at the Oak Grove before the sun sets and the play begins.
