[NEohioPAL] Trotsky, Gandhi, and Hitler... oh my!

[Oddy Festival]

Next Friday night (10/2) at 7:15 at the Brody-Nelson Room of the Cleveland
Heights Library (2345 Lee Rd.), OddyFest premieres the sophomore show of its
sophomore year with "October Revolutions," featuring "Trotsky" by Matt
Greenfield and "Hitler & Gandhi" by Michael Oatman.  The show repeats Friday
10/16 and we offer a special "Doboddy" preview after Dobama's showing of
"More 10 Minutes From Cleveland" on Friday, 10/9, along with more drama and
poetry readings (not quite a Night Kitchen, more like a Late-Night Snack).

So, come on down to the Cleveland Heights library complex for the next three
Fridays to see some revolutionary theatre!  Read on for details:


*October Revolutions: OddyFest #14*

* *

*Oddy’s October set of plays takes a look at three idealistic early
twentieth-century men who wanted to change the world, and did change it (and
themselves) in ways that they could never have anticipated...*

* *

*Russian songs by Cat R. Kenney & Joe Barone*

* *

In honor of “Trotsky,” OddyFest music director Joe Barone plays a few
original tunes sung in Russian and written by Cat Kenney.



*“Trotsky” by Matt Greenfield**

* *

The greatest trick this Russian revolutionary pulled was not winning the
civil war, but creating a self called “Leon Trotsky” from his humble origins
as Lev Bronstein, sacrificing family and identity for the sake of
monomaniacal idealism.



*“Gandhi and Hitler” by Michael Oatman*

* *

A meditation on good, evil, and rock-n-roll: Adolf and Mahatma chat it up in
Purgatory, discussing their respective legacies in history while observing a
Slipknot concert.



*NOW ON THE ODD **FRIDAYS**!*

*October 2 / October 16*

* *

*Show starts at 7:15 *

* *

*BRODY-NELSON ROOM*

*of the Cleveland Heights Library, Lee Road Branch*

*(2345 Lee Road, just next to the stairs)*

* *

*FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC!*

* *

*(Though, if you really want to give money to OddyFest,*

*Oddy T’s, CD’s, and books will be available)*

**
*

*Special "Trotsky" preview after

Dobama's "More 10 Minutes..." on 10/9
