[NEohioPAL]Red Hen Presents WAVING GOODBYE

Tue Oct 1 11:13:11 PDT 2002

Red Hen Productions, Cleveland's Feminist Theatre, is proud to present the 
Ohio premier of Waving Goodbye by Jamie Pachino October 3-26, 2002

The Play: The story of Lily Blue, a 17-year old photographer who loses her 
father in a mountain climbing accident, and must spend her 17th year with the 
mother who abandoned her. Taking place in the past and the present, Waving 
Goodbye is also about loss, grief, change, making art, being stalled, wishing 
things were different, moving forward, first love, not turning into your 
mother, and those irrevocable moments after which nothing is the same.

"Jamie Pachino's new work is a beautifully written portrait of loss, rage, 
change, and the terror--and joy--of trusting another person in the wake of 
personal cataclysm. ... Pachino writes from the gut and heart in a way that's 
utterly refreshing. ...an intriguing work that deserves to be heard. " - The 
Reader, Kerry Reid.

Production Design: If you're accustomed to thinking of Red Hen shows as having
simple, utilitarian sets, you'll have to revise your assumptions for this one.
Jenny Hitmar has designed an icy mountain and New York loft apartment, with 
Leslie Moynihan's dreamscape lighting. Cat Kenney adds color as the costume 
designer, and Theresa Krueger storms as sound designer. Amy Shuman serves as 
technical director, with a bevy of artists and technical advisors for what is 
surely our most challenging and beautiful technical show to date. Directed by 
Red Hen's Artistic Director, Harriett R. Logan.

The Cast: Our dream ensemble includes comic master Allen Branstein in a 
powerful role as the mountain-climbing father, while Cat Kenney joins us for 
her third consecutive Red Hen show as the sculptor mother. Lee Jacobs makes 
her Cleveland debut as Lily, our 17-year old photographer protagonist, and 
Joshua Johnston also makes his debut as Lily's first love. Rose Leininger, 
active on other Cleveland stages, makes her debut with Red Hen as the 
wise-cracking art gallery owner, Perry.

The Playwright: Jamie Pachino is an award-winning playwright and screenwriter 
with national and international credits. Her plays have been produced in four
countries, commissioned, published, and honored. Two of her plays, The Return 
to
Morality and Aurora's Motive have been optioned for the screen. Jamie has been
named a winner of the Kennedy Center Fund for New American Plays production 
grant, twice nominated for the Osborn Award (American Theatre Critics 
Association), and invited to present her work at the Women Playwrights 
Conference in Athens, Greece in 2000. She has served on the faculty of 
Northwestern University, Columbia College, National Louis University, and the 
Chicago Academy for the Arts.

Dear friends -

Forgive the late notice, but I just received word that the director of The 
Dealer, Molly Richards, is willing to accept auditions by appointment and 
is also willing to be somewhat flexible with rehearsal scheduling - given 
the difficulties of adults and teens who are juggling multiple shows as the 
holidays approach.

Please - if you've been shying away from this production due to scheduling 
problems but are unreservedly able to commit to the show dates - which are 
Nov 14 and 15 at 10 am ; Nov 15 and 16 at 8 pm - reconsider joining us!

Here are the details. Your support of our writing students is deeply 
appreciated.
