THE LOBBY HERO is the latest play by Kenneth Lonnergan, 
coauthor of the film ANALYZE THIS.  After highly successful runs in
NYC(off-Broadway), Chicago and Minneapolis, this will be the Northern
Ohio premier of this new comedy.

KINGDOM OF EARTH is a captivating late Tennessee Williams small 
cast play with characters reminiscent of STREECARS' Blanche Dubois
and Stanley Kowalski mixed into a Sam Shepard's BURIED CHILD 
southern farm situation and setting.

The August production of David Ives 1 Acts will audition later
this month.
    
  The Mapleleaf Theater is a non-profit, semi-professional theater
  based during the summer at Harpersfield Vineyard near Madison OH.
  The performances are outdoors, in an intimate cafe style setting.
  It's the only theater at a working vineyard in the United States.
  In it's 20th season, the theater specializes in off-beat,
  unusual, and new works by American playwrights.
