[NEohioPAL] "Oh, Coward" at the Coach House Theater

[Pommy]

THE MUSICAL RETURNS TO THE COACH HOUSE THEATRE

The spectacular season of live theatre continues at the Coach House 
Theatre with their production of Oh, Coward! onstage from November 
1st through November 17th.

Oh, Coward is a good old-fashioned musical comedy review that has 
been lovingly devised by Roderick Cook.  Mr. Cook brings together a 
fine collection of Coward's catchy songs, juicy morsels of dialogue 
from his plays and passages from effusive memoirs.  Oh, Coward 
promises to bring you a wryly sophisticated evening of style and 
substance, culled from the works of one of the world's greatest wits, 
Sir Noel Coward.

Director Nancy Cates brings to the Coach House Theatre stage a cast 
of her favorites, including Timothy H Champion, Scott Shriner and 
Lisa Marie Schueller.  Mr. Champion is a well-established local 
talent who has appeared at Weathervane Community Playhouse, Dobama 
Theatre, and Tri-C Theatre as well as several other venues.  He is 
also a seven time recipient of the Weathervane Community Playhouse's 
Chanticleer Award for acting.  Mr. Shriner will be making his 
fourteenth appearance on the Coach House Theatre stage where he was 
last seen with Mr. Champion in Noel Coward's Hay Fever, directed by 
Nancy Cates.  He has appeared elsewhere at Actors' Summit and the 
Bang and the Clatter Theatre Company.  Mrs. Schueller is a new face 
to the Coach House Theatre and a fresh local talent.  A graduate of 
Kent State University, she has been seen onstage at Actors' Summit, 
Porthouse Theatre and Carousel Dinner Theatre.  This "triple-threat" 
of local talent brings to life the unparalleled wit and style of Sir 
Noel Coward.  The Coach House Theatre invites you to join them on 
this musical journey of Coward's works with songs that include: "Mad 
Dogs and Englishmen," "The Stately Homes of England," "Bright Young 
Things," "Mad About the Boy," "Mrs. Worthington," "Lets Do It" and 
many others.

Interspersing his songs with biographical anecdotes and sketches from 
his various writings, "Oh, Coward!" celebrates the life and work of 
British legend Noel Coward.

A wildly successful playwright, composer, lyricist, librettist, 
director and actor, Coward did it all with equal skill and abandon. 
His work and personality enchanted the world for over fifty years, 
from the time he wrote and starred in his first musical at the age of 
twenty-three. In countless songs, musicals and plays (including the 
beloved "Private Lives" and "Blithe Spirit"), the multi-talented 
Coward made an indelible mark on the international theatrical 
landscape with his unique "talent to amuse." For sheer 
sophistication, style and urbane wit, only Wilde and Cole Porter 
could touch him.
