Five Area Playwrights Showcased at WAKE UP And LIVE's "PlayActs" Staged 
Readings.

    The Sue Johnson WAKE UP And LIVE's Actors' Studio presents "PlayActs," 
its Playwright's Lab Showcase of Staged Readings, in two performance-packed 
days at Tri-C, Eastern, 4250 Richmond Road, Highland Hills, Building 3, 
Auditorium, on Saturday, July 21st, 7:30 PM, & Sunday, July 22nd, 3:00 PM. 
(Bring 2 quarters to exit parking lot.)

    Come see local actors and advanced acting students perform these original 
one-act dramas, comedies and 'dramadies' written by the five playwrights, 
Thea Adler (Mayfield Hts.), Ruby Fox (University Hts.), Siegmund Fuchs (No. 
Royalton), Carl Long (Gates Mills), and Gary Webster (Willoughby Hills).  
After the readings, the audience is invited to meet the playwrights and share 
their reactions to, and insights about the playwrights' "works in progress." 

     "Cycle of a Lifetime," is Thea Adler's first one-act submitted to the 
Playwright's Lab. "Cycle" travels from birth to death.  It unfolds using the 
months of the year to correspond with the growth of an individual through 
childhood, adolescence, adulthood and finally, old age.  The seasons of the 
year capture a lifetime.

Ruby Fox's plays "Wednesdays With Hilda" and "Divorce 101" have been read at 
various theaters, including the Cleveland Playhouse and Karamu. "Wednesdays . 
. ." looks at the harshness and reality of the racially turbulent 60's 
through the eyes of two black youth and an elderly Jewish woman, while 
"Divorce 101" is a romantic comedy which deals with lust, betrayal and 
revenge.

"One Night at the Movies," which explores the complexities of a marriage in 
crisis, is Siegmund Fuchs' second play which has been selected for WAKE UP 
And LIVE's readings. 

Carl Long, a Theatre major, Grinnell College, Iowa, will see his short, 
surreal piece, "Irena's Song," brought to life by two new actors to the 
Playwright's Lab, Josh Hunt and Marina Shtelen who portray a young European 
couple who fall victim to the effects of war and their relationship.  Long 
will also be Assistant Director for "Divorce 101." 

Gary Webster, radio personality, WBKC-Radio, will direct his own play, "Divine
 Intervention," where Harold, who yearns for a romantic relationship, almost 
has his dream of 'never having been born' come true."Hold, Please" and "Let 
There Be Light" two other Webster's sketch comedies, will also be performed.

The Ensemble cast for the 8 plays includes:  Sue Antal, Heidi Blount, 
Jessica Daniel, Scott Hashier, Kenyatta Hatten, Marcia Darby, Josh Hunt, 
Sue Johnson, Sy Levine, Carl Long, Dave Monroe, Rebecca Morris, Julie Saad, 
Angie Scott, Marina Shtelen, and Gary Webster.
