The Conjure-Man Dies: A Play in Five Acts by Adrienne Gossellin  

Thursday, October 30th

The Conjure-Man Dies is the story of the murder of N G'ana Frimbo,
scientist, Harvard graduate and African king, who resurrects himself to
find his murderer, only to be killed in the process.  The crime is
investigated by John Archer, a pedantic doctor, and Perry Dart, the
first black detective in Harlem, with help from Jinx Jenkins and Bubber
Brown, two ex-sanitation workers turned "private eyes." The Conjure-Man
Dies is an adaptation of the first African American Detective novel
written by Rudolph Fisher in 1932. Written and Directed by Adrienne
Gossellin.

540 AM by Jeffrey Grover 

and

It's Okay to Cry: A Personal History of Cleveland Baseball by Mike
Geither

Saturday, November 1st

540 AM by Jeffrey Grover

A 50 something man finds himself an orphan, having recently lost his
Mom. Add to that a divorce and the quest to find the answer to the
question: How can I die content? Lessons learned from the way his mom
died and the ways that she lived add to his introspective and often
humorous journey. 540 AM is a time of day for everyone. 

It's Okay to Cry: A Personal History of Cleveland Baseball by Mike
Geither

It's Okay to Cry is a Cleveland sports fan's attempt to negotiate
bitterness, death and middle age. By exploring the Ray Chapman/Carl Mays
story, the economics of professional baseball and personal tragedy, this
quirky fan makes peace with the complexity of loving losers of all
kinds. 

Both productions will be directed by Jacqi Loewy
