Theater hall names Martin, Senseman

The Dayton Theatre Hall of Fame has named Gil Martin and Blake Senseman as its 2009 inductees.

Martin, best known locally for his acting at the Dayton Theatre Guild in productions including “Equus,” “Gross Indecency,” “Outward Bound,” “The Beaux Stratagem,” “A Doll’s House” and “The Paris Letter,” has also directed and worked professionally. He has composed more than 400 published pieces of sacred and secular music.

A Dayton resident, he toured nationally in the musical “1776” and the play “Oh, Coward,” and has worked off-Broadway as a designer, arranger and conductor.

Senseman, also a Theatre Guild veteran in several capacities, appeared alongside Martin in the recent production of “Outward Bound,” then designed and built sets for this season’s productions of “The Cashier” and “Fuddy Meers.”

He owns and operates Buggy Whip Antiques in Tipp City, where he lives.

Martin and Senseman will be inducted during the annual DayTony Awards ceremony Aug. 16 at the Dayton Marriott Grande Ballroom. Tickets are $32 for the public event. Call (937) 654-0400. More information about the Dayton Theatre Hall of Fame is available at www.daytonys.org.

Go back to the totally awesome '80s this weekend [things to do]

80s fashionista

"Back to the '80s," an area premiere, opens Friday, Nov. 6, for three weekends in Kettering. The retro show is an account of 1989 high school senior class, as recalled by a man in his 30s. Unrequited love, popularity (and its opposite), a debate about CDs replacing cassette tapes, student elections, a stolen speech, new kids in school and an English teacher in a magazine centerfold are among the plot lines. There are 20 songs, including "Footloose," "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" and "You Give Love a Bad Name." Like, totally awesome! » More
