CLEVELAND PUBLIC THEATRE PRESENTS
The Hairy Ape
written by Eugene O'Neill
directed by David Herskovits
March 22 - April 7, 2002

Executive Director James A. Levin and Artistic Director Randy Rollison are
proud to announce the much-anticipated presentation of Eugene O'Neill's The
Hairy Ape as directed by David Herskovits, Artistic Director of Target
Margin Theatre. One of O'Neill's favorite early works, The Hairy Ape
examines the archetypical primitive man, Yank, a coal stoker on an ocean
liner, who emerges from the steamy bowels of a ship to take on a society in
which he does not fit.  Performed in Cleveland Public Theatre's Gordon
Square Theatre, The Hairy Ape opens Friday, March 22 at 8:00 p.m. and runs
through Sunday, April 7, 2002 with special preview performance on Thursday,
March 21, 2002 at 8:00 p.m. Tickets are $15.00 and $10.00 for seniors and
students and $7.00 for previews. Please note there is no performance on
Sunday, March 31, 2002. For more box office information, please call
216.631.2727.

Guest director David Herskovits takes a unique approach to O'Neill's script
by adopting a collaborative process with his multicultural cast. Herskovits
has become known for his creative and unorthodox approach to theatre. "There
really is no concept to how I approach a piece. My job is not to solve a
play for the audience but rather introduce the complexities and mysteries of
the work to the audience so that they can find their own truths." Eugene
O'Neill's 1922 expressionistic masterpiece The Hairy Ape is an evocation of
a 20th Century everyman who finds himself caught in the mythic struggle of
man as animal vs man as machine. It is a conflict between the primal
individual and the stifling force of society. 
When Eugene O'Neill wrote The Hairy Ape in 1921, the United States was
entering its worst period of class conflict to date. Immigrants and refugees
were pouring in from Europe, the U.S. had emerged as the industrialized
nation in the world and technology had revolutionized economic production,
but the captains of industry were conspiring to run the country like feudal
lords, relegating a powerless labor force to wage slavery. The primal lead
character, Yank epitomizes the problems of America. His language, his body,
his mind; all full of the heady power that comes with disconnection from the
past. He is free in a world of his own making, until his humanity is
questioned and he finds that he has nothing of substance to defend it with. 

Each season, CPT explores one American classic. Artistic Director Randy
Rollison remarks "It is important for us as artists working in experimental
forms to revisit our roots. With our productions of Thorton Wilder's The
Skin of Our Teeth and Tennessee Williams' Summer and Smoke, we have brought
the CPT sensibility to the work of these American Masters and given
audiences a fresh look at plays too often performed as museum pieces."

David Herskovits is the Founder and Artistic Director of the Obie Award
winnig Target Margin Theater in New York City. His 1998 production of
Mamba's Daughters by Dorothy and DuBose Heyward won an OBIE for the company,
and was presented at the 1999 Spoleto Festival USA.  Included in the cast of
The Hairy Ape is Jimmie D. Woody as Yank and CPT regular Sean Booker as
Long. Jill Levin rounds out the talented cast as Mildred Douglas. The Hairy
Ape also features Bernadette Cleamons, Terrence Cranendonk, Megan Elk, Jeff
Glover, Ian Howard, John Monroe, Vincent DePaul, Sean Sullivan and Robert
Williams in this multifaceted cast.  Serving as both scenic and lighting
designer is professional New York designer Lenore Doxsee. Alison Egan, whose
work has been seen in Parade The Circle, SAFMOD and Art Acts, joins
Cleveland Public Theatre to design costumes.

The Hairy Ape is made possible with the generous support of Councilman Mike
Dolan, National City Bank, The George Fund Foundation, The Ohio Arts Council
and the Cleveland Foundation/BASICS program. Cleveland Public Theatre is one
of 17 arts organizations participating in BASICs; a five-year program of the
Cleveland Foundation. BASICs organizations receive operating support,
customized technical assistance and grants to help build capacity to manage
the necessary risk-taking of their art forms.
