****FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE****

The Other Theater Project proudly presents:

"Adaptation"  
by Elaine May                                           Directed by Russel Stich

@ The Cleveland Black Box Theater

      (inside Cabaret Dada)

     1210 W. 6th Street, Cleveland

The Other Theater Project is pleased to announce their second production; 

"Adaptation" opening February 3rd 2005.

"Adaptation" shows us all that life is a game, a contest in which the participants create a picture

of man from birth to death, with all of its madness, familiarity and nonsense. Incident after 

incident makes you laugh and suddenly you stop to think; maybe you're laughing at yourself.

The Other Theater Project is thrilled with the talented cast it’s been able to assemble for this 

production, including Allen Branstein, Chris Hegedus, Jimmy Helms, Rose Leininger, Natalie 

Stefanik and Gilgamesh Taggett.

In addition to May’s hysterical one act, The Other Theater Project is presenting an original 

comedy sketch and chances to win prizes in our own version of “Let’s Make Deal”. 

The Valentine’s Day closing night performance will feature even more specials & give-aways.

The Other Theater Project is a new production company which was created by Aaron Patterson

and Russel Stich, with the goal of keeping artistic people working in an artistic environment. 

Executive producers Stich and Patterson are both Cleveland based actors who have directed

locally. They first worked together in “Tony ‘n Tina’s Wedding” and are currently cast members

at Cabaret Dada Improvisational Theater. This new venture will be based out of The Cleveland 

Black Box Theater an independent productions venue that operates in Dada’s 130 seat space. 

Tickets for "Adaptation" are $10 and can be reserved by calling 

The Cleveland Black Box Theater at  (216) 696-4242.

Performances: February 3rd, 4th, 10th, 11th & 14th @ 8:00 p.m. 

Sunday February 6th @ 2:00 p.m. 

Sunday February 13th @ 7:00 p.m.

The Other Theater Project: 

Not too long…not too smart…Theater done right.
