[NEohioPAL]Matchmaker opening this weekend in Canton!!

[Brian Richeson]

Premiere of MATCHMAKER!!!!!!


An Audience Interactive Play

MATCHMAKER, an audience interactive play, is written by Deborah Handlin
Salberg as a response to TV's reality shows on love and marriage.
Salberg is a member of The Rainbow Repertory Company, producer of the
show.

"I wrote this play as a satire of dating and marriage reality shows. In
MATCHMAKER, the audience is brought into a TV broadcast studio to meet a
panel of prospective brides and grooms. The panel host will interview
each of them to determine their marriage compatibility and will invite
audience members to submit additional questions and comments. We have
engaged actors with great improv skills!"

At intermission each audience member will become a Matchmaker and will
vote for the pair who should be married. The second act will conclude
with 'nuptials', a toast and a piece of wedding cake.

The Rainbow Repertory Company has engaged Oliver Corrigan, founder of
Newfangled Productions to direct the show. He has gathered a cast with
members from Cleveland and Columbus as well as local talent. They
include Ron Riegler as the TV host, George Young as the marriage
official, Eva
Conrad, Holly Facer, Viren Gilani, Sandy Hina, Brian Richeson, Deborah
Salberg, Vince Stillitano and Thaddeus Pudluk. Corrigan states, "This
cast is great at creating comic dialogue, for every performance of
Matchmaker will be different. We will never know which two will be
chosen as bride and groom!"

Performances are May 8-9-10 at 8 p.m. at the Cultural Center Arts and
Education Building located at 1014 Cleveland Avenue N. W. (behind the
Civic Center parking deck).=20

Tickets are $8 and may be purchased at the door or by reservation at
