Tonight and tomorrow are the last chances you have to see Matthew A. 
Sprosty's "Schism" at the Cleveland Playhouse's Bolton Theatre.  It is definitely 
"must see" theatre.   I teach my students that "timing is everything" and that one 
lesson, was well taken in this production.  Mr. Sprosty was an acting student 
of mine 10 years ago.  His writing is superb.

"Schism" is one of the funniest plays I have seen.  The actors never miss a 
beat; their timing is impeccable.  I never stopped laughing.  Each actor knew 
his character well, as if they had met the character in real life and knew them 
intimately.

The direction couldn't have been better.  Rebecca Cole should be commended 
for taking Matt's script and bringing it to life.  

Change your plans for the weekend and head down to the Playhouse to see this 
wonderfully entertaining production.  Fourth Wall is a company to be reckoned 
with!  They are fast becoming a huge asset to our theatre community.
