Raves for SUMMER OF '42
Kalliope Stage launches their second season with SUMMER OF '42, a new =
musical based on the 1971 hit movie. An exciting cast of area students =
join New York and Cleveland professionals to create a raucously funny =
hit with vocal fireworks that is especially timely today. Don't miss the =
opportunity to see this critically acclaimed area premier. The reviews =
are in--read for yourself.

PLAIN DEALER: "At Kalliope Stage, director Paul F. Gurgol gets the tone =
exactly right with a luminous production of "Summer of '42." Staging the =
area premiere of the musical adaptation of the 1971 movie, Gurgol makes =
theatrical magic with impeccable casting and direction that is both =
delicate and deep. He takes a big risk - staging a story about teens at =
a professional theater and putting real teens in the roles - and it's a =
risk that pays huge dividends. The cast, led by the amazing Alex Wyse, =
is funny, touching and very real. . . It's a beautiful =
production--funny, sweet and moving--to open Kalliope's second season =
and an excellent introduction to the strengths of this new professional =
company." (Linda Eisenstein)

SCENE: "Yep, it's a musical version of the movie, and it's a good thing =
Kalliope decided to do it, since it requires adolescent boys to sing and =
act. Thankfully, this company's dedication to splendid voices and =
evocative presentations has landed it some very talented local high =
schoolers, who perform like seasoned troopers. Alex Wyse plays the lead, =
Hermie, with such a cute and fragile boyishness, you just want to hug =
him (and it doesn't hurt that he looks like a teenage Fred Astaire). =
Director Paul F. Gurgol finds all the nooks of sentiment and crannies of =
humor (a boy buying his first "rubbers" in a drugstore) to give everyone =
a twinge of longing for the blissfully naive good ol' days." (Christine =
Howey)

CLEVELAND JEWISH NEWS: "Humor and heartbreak coalesce in a story told in =
flashback about a young boy who falls for an older woman whose husband =
is away at war. Alex Wyse is equal parts touching and funny as the =
ingenuous Hermie whose adolescent awakening wavers between bumbling =
earnestness and precocious sensitivity. Aaron Dore is the horny Oscy, =
while the bespectacled Dan O'Neill fits the role of the nerdy Benji, =
more interested in birds than the birds and the bees. The object of =
Hermie's obsession is Dorothy, a war bride torn between loneliness and =
the nascent desire of a woman separated from her soldier husband. Jodi =
Brinkman gives a towering performance in that role. Chris Pohl is =
impressive in a brief but notable appearance as Dorothy's husband, Pete. =
Seasoned New York actor Jay Strauss is sublime as the droll proprietor, =
Mr. Sanders, and the famously glib reporter, Walter Winchell. A trio fo =
Andrew Sisters types, alternately serving as a Greek chorus and a gaggle =
of teenage girls, features Elizabeth Kelly as the "fast" Miriam, Jamie =
Finkenthal as the self-conscious Aggie, and Julie Marx as the bookish =
Gloria who talks with a lisp. The six talented, youthful performers (all =
save one are in high school) deliver well-honed performances under Paul =
F. Gurgol's meticulous direction." (Fran Heller)

THE TIMES (Chagrin Valley): "At the Kalliope storefront theater on Lee =
Road in Cleveland Heights, director Paul Gurgol has assembled a =
first-rate cast and has taken the Oscar-winning screenplay and has been =
able to achieve the improbable. Combining comedy and tear-jerking =
sentimentality, Mr. Gurgol has pushed the plot, the songs, the script =
and his perfect cast to the limits. Yes, you can go back and relive this =
book-to-movie-to-stage experience . . . Jay Strauss plays Winchell, the =
older Hermie and Mr. Sanders, who, in a very funny scene, sells Hermie a =
package of condoms. Jodi Brinkman convinces as Dorothy, the lonely war =
bride, and can she sing. Though Mr. Kirschenbaum's ballads have a =
sameness, Miss Brinkman's thrilling vocals demand that you listen. As =
Hermie, Alex Wyse has a likable innocence. His gradual connection to =
this older woman is heartwarming. Aaron Dore, as the sex-driven Oscy, =
and Jamie Finkenthal, Elizabeth Kelly and Julie Marx all have just the =
right touch as the would-be sex objects, and, when they double as the =
singing sisters, they are terrific. Jay Strauss, who triples as =
Winchell, Mr. Sanders, and the wistful older Hermie, shows his =
remarkable versatility. In today's time of war, "Summerof '42" could =
catch on with audiences even more than the original movie." (Herb =
Hammer)

THE TIMES (Lorain County Times--Westlaker Times--Lakewood News =
Times--Olmsted-Fairview Times): "Kalliope Stage's production, under the =
watchful eye of Paul Gurgol, is excellent. Gurgol gets all of the =
laughs, the tenderness and the reality out of the script. He allows the =
audience to become swallowed up in the era. He is aided greatly by Russ =
Borski's mood setting and workable set, Kim Brown's period right =
costumes, Marcus Dana's lighting design and Chad Helms sound design. The =
playing space also aids. This isa play that needs intimacy and since no =
viewer is more than 15-feet from the action in Kalliope's small theater, =
the personal tie to the perfomers is easily accomplished. The Kalliope =
cast is excellent. Beachwood High School senior Alex Wyse was born to =
play Hermie. His skinny frame, which features flailing arms and =
weak-kneed legs, gives him a look which is perfect for the role. But =
more important is Wyse's total control over the character. His small, =
yet well-pitched voice, is plaintive in the love songs, his yearnings =
perfectly revealed. It's worth seeing the show just to share Hermie's =
anguish and angst as Wyse lives them. Jodi Brinkman is the perfect =
Broadway-leading lady. She is a wonderful actress, beautiful and =
posesses a compelling and big vocal sound. She makes for a perfect =
Dorothy. Wyse and Brinkman not only sing well together, but seem to have =
a powerful emotional connection. Jay Strauss, a veteran New York actor, =
plays the drug store owner, Walter Winchell and the aged Hermie with =
total delight. He is a wonderful character actor."(Roy Berko)
