The history behind the show:
On November 25, 1976, one of rock and roll’s most influential groups, The Band, held their final concert. This event was documented by director Martin Scorsese and made into the film The Last Waltz. Considered one of the best concert films ever, The Last Waltz also featured performances by Dr. John, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Neil Diamond, Van Morrison, Emmylou Harris, Muddy Waters, Paul Butterfield, Eric Clapton, and Bob Dylan. This seminal moment in music history will be recreated 50 years later by our own local musicians.

Mason Community Players presents Decision Height, a production that tells the story of the Women Air Force Service Pilots (WASPs) who served in World War II assisting the men who were fighting. It features a nine-member, all-female cast that includes seven WASP, a female flight instructor, and the government-employed den mother. This historical drama written by Meredith Dayna Levy follows the women through triumphs and tragedies. It explores their experiences, the deep bonds they form, and the sacrifices they make, while highlighting an under-recognized group of American heroes. This patriotic play will be performed October 2, 3, 8, 9, and 10 at 8 p.m. and October 4 at 2 p.m. Tickets cost $20 plus fees. Patrons can purchase tickets online at MasonPlayers.org, by calling 513-398-7804, or at the door. The box office opens one hour before the curtain.
The Dayton Affair is Dayton's Rocky Horror Picture Show shadow cast. The film plays on the screen. We perform it live in front of the screen — full costumes, full choreography, zero shame.
You yell the callbacks. You throw the props. You do the Time Warp whether you meant to or not. It's a movie, a party, and a contact sport all at once, and it's been going strong since 1975 for a reason.
Never been? Perfect.
