| Personals Uncut | Dec. 3- 11, Kennedy's Theatre, playhousesquare.org | Delivered in monologues, this comedy about online dating has a colorful cast of characters ranging from the classic weirdo to the honest, everyday person. | "Everyone can relate to the dating scene and the awkwardness of first dates," says writer, director and producer Jennifer Griffin. |
| The New Century | Dec. 9- Jan. 9, Dobama Theatre, dobama.org | Parents of gay children are pushed out of their comfort zones in this comedy, which is told through a series of monologues and vignettes. | "They're going to laugh their ass off," says director Scott Plate.

| Conni's Avant Garde Restaurant | Dec. 2- 19, Cleveland Public Theatre, cptonline.org | Think Rocky Horror Picture Show meets dinner theater inside a bizarre restaurant — this campy, rock 'n' roll show includes cabaret, improv comedy and a five-course meal. | "It's going to be quirky and unique," says Raymond Bobgan, executive artistic director.
