Lakewood, Ohio - Named "Cleveland's Best Theatre Company" in 2002 and
2004 and "Best Controversial Show that Wasn't" in 2005 by Scene
Magazine, the Beck Center for the Arts proudly presents a world premiere
comedy by award-winning Cleveland playwright Eric Coble.  T.I.D.Y.,
opening November 18 and running through December 18  in the intimate
Studio Theater will be Coble's first world premiere produced at the Beck
Center.

T.I.D.Y. is a dark comedy about a woman whose quiet evening at home with
her cat is interrupted by the discovery that she is at the heart of the
global conspiracy to end all global conspiracies!

Directed by Roger Truesdell, T.I.D.Y. features Sarah Morton, Nicholas
Koesters, Rhoda Rosen, Ali Garrigan, Tracey Field, and Kevin Joseph
Kelly. "I am very happy to be back directing in Cleveland," says
Truesdell.  "I have been a strong champion of this play.  It is really
funny with a strong moral message about personal and political
responsibility.  This is the fourth play of Eric's that I have directed
and I have enjoyed working with him on this script immensely.  I am very
lucky to have this cast who I consider the very best."

Scripts written by Eric Coble, one of Cleveland's most successful and
widely produced playwrights, have been produced throughout the U.S. and
internationally.  Most recently, Cleveland audiences have enjoyed
Coble's Ten Minutes from Cleveland at Dobama, and Bright Ideas at the
Cleveland Play House.  Coble's awards include AT&T Onstage and National
Theatre Conference Playwriting.  He is a member of the Cleveland Play
House Playwrights Unit.  Coble writes for several nationally broadcast
radio programs and has three screenplays in the labyrinth of Hollywood.

The Beck Center's production of T.I.D.Y. is sponsored by 90.3 WCPN,
Cleveland Scene Magazine, LaCentre Conference & Banquet Facility,
Lakewoodbuzz.com and is presented with the generous support of the Board
of Cuyahoga County Commissioners. Show times are Fridays and Saturdays
