<DIV>NINE concerns the travails of "Guido Contini", director extraordinaire, as he juggles the many women in his life while trying to create the story for his new movie.  Director/choreographer/costumer/set designer Lester Currie explains, "Everyone goes through a mid-life crisis sooner or later but some of us go through it to operatic proportions.  'Guido Contini' is such a person, finding inspiration in a dozen women, never realizing that he is passing up the one person he needs."  Based on the Federico Fellini film 8 1/2, NINE is about art, music, creative expression, drama, passion, love and regret."</DIV>
<DIV>NINE was Vocally Directed by Michael Caraffi who conducts a 16-piece orchestra coordinated by David Dettloff.</DIV>
<DIV>NINE will play at the Cassidy Theatre, Fridays and Saturdays at 8p.m. and Sundays at 3p.m. from July 16 through August 1.  Tickets are $15.00 for adults with a $12.00 ticket price for students and seniors.  Early reservations are strongly suggested and tickets can be ordered by phoning the Box Office at (440) 842-4600 from 9-4 Monday through Saturday.  </DIV>
