A Lie of the Mind
Otterbein Theatre and Dance Department
Sam Shepherd, a mastermind of dark humor and powerful drama, out does himself with this story of two dysfunctional families joined by marriage in the American West, each trying to hold on to the ideal picture of stability without ever having experienced it. Jake believes he may have killed his wife, Beth, during a domestic dispute and, to calm his concerns, his brother Frankie attempts to get the real story by traveling to Beth’s family home in Montana. While he is relieved to see Beth alive, though severely injured from the incident, Frankie is suddenly entangled in a bizarre familial web of jealousy, love, and revenge. There are always two sides of the story, and sometimes, our minds prevent us from choosing the one of truth.

A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder
Otterbein Theatre and Dance Department
Join us as we celebrate a return to live theater with a very special staged concert version of the show that was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic in March of 2020. While we are unable to fully realize the elaborate design of this hilarious knock-em-dead musical romp, the script will be performed in full with much of the original cast, and you will not leave without having a hearty laugh. Poor, low-born Monty Navarro is desperate to inherit the dukedom by surpassing no fewer than eight members of the well-to-do D’Ysquith family in line before him. Just wait until you see if and how Monty decides to knock off his unsuspecting relatives while in constant danger of being caught and while managing multiple, increasingly challenging, love affairs…all for the grand title of the ninth Earl of Highhurst.
