Not that I'm trying to clutter NEOPAL with "Me Too" posts, but even if you
weren't thinking of spending $10 on a few beers.... See this. You have thre=
e
more opportunities - Friday evening, Saturday afternoon, and Saturday
evening. My only regret is that I didn't see it sooner.
While I've seen quite a bit of great theater in my first year in Cleveland,
I'm pretty sure this was the first time I've ever found myself laughing so
hard my eyes were tearing up in a theater.

> *ABOUT SCHISM*
> The play *Schism *begins as the audience is entering the theatre- the
> actors are walking around, getting into places, and waiting for the femal=
e
> lead, Arian, who hasn't shown up, yet. The lead actor, Dash, confessed t=
o
> Arian before the show that he had feelings for her. But, she's dating th=
e
> Supporting Actor, Justin, whose also Dash's best friend. As the actors
> get more and more distracted by their personal lives, they ad-lib their w=
ay
> out of *Perfectly Imperfect You*- especially Erin, who tries to establish
> herself as sexy because her wide hips have landed her in the mother role =
for
> every college production she's been in. The director, Alexis, likes the
> "reality" of the actor's personal dramas, and tries to calm the disapprov=
ing
> playwright, Jeff, down while shaping the action to form a linear play. A=
s
> the actor's begin to rewrite their own play to satisfy their personal liv=
es,
> Alexis and Jeff must settle their creative differences to make sure
