[NEohioPAL]A personal invite to Children's Hour

[Jennifer Clifford]

Hi Fred - Here is the posting again (since there were glitches before)- 
thanks!

Hello Cleveland Performing Arts Community -

I would personally like to invite you to come see our show. The cast of nine 
amazing young women and seven fabulous adults have come together under the 
inspiring direction of Sarah May.  We are all very proud of the show, and 
hope you will be able to make it out to see this  great American Classic 
about the power and destruction that lies can have in our lives.

Hope to see you there,
Jen Clifford

The Children's Hour by Lillian Hellman continues this weekend at the Beck 
Center, 17801 Detroit Avenue in Lakewood.

Performances are Fridays and Saturdays at 8, and Sundays at 3 through 
February 13.
Please call (216) 521 2540 for tickets.

Here is what the critics have had to say:

"What sets this production apart are the deft performances that  director 
Sarah May is able to evoke from her cast." - Christine Howey, Scene Magazine

“May's elegance as a director, coupled with designer Don McBride's clever, 
folding-wall set, propel the play without rushing it. The set changes, 
choreographed for the girls as if they're fulfilling their chores around the 
school, won applause at Friday's opening." - Tony Brown, Plain  Dealer

“As usual, Rhoda Rosen is eminently capable as the conflicted grandmother, 
Mary Jane Nottage is sweetly bitchy as a pain-in-the-posterior  relative, 
and the gaggle of girl students is appealingly gaggle-y." -  James Damico, 
Free Times

"More than 70 years after it appeared on Broadway, Lillian Hellman's first 
play, "The Children's Hour," still has the power to hold an audience in its 
grip. The engrossing production at The Beck Center of the Arts, expertly 
directed by Sarah May, proves it." - Fran Heller, Cleveland Jewish News
