[NEohioPAL] Oddy Update: Doboddy 10/9, "October Revolutions" 10/16

[Oddy Festival]

This Friday, 10/9, Oddy Festival, under our gracious host Dobama Theater,
presents a pastiche sampling of our work to Dobama audiences after the
Friday night showing of "Ten More Minutes from Cleveland" by Eric Coble.

Stick around after the show for a free triptych of Oddy work: the last
powerful scene from this month's historical drama, "Trotsky," a wacky piece
about the Toledo War of 1837 and the emerging Ohio/Michigan rivalry (as it
is OSU Night at Dobama), and a reading of "Ode to Cleveland" by Matt
Greenfield, a poem in dedication to the spirit of this fair city and its
resilience.

*10/9 at 8 p.m. at 2340 Lee Road: Come out for Dobama, stick around for
Oddy!*

If you like what you see this Friday, then next Friday, 10/16, is the second
and final showing of Oddy's *"October Revolutions*", featuring Greenfield's
"Trotsky" and Oatman's "Gandhi & Hitler."  Come over across the bridge from
Dobama (2345 Lee Road) to check out some free Friday theatre in the
Library!  Details below:


*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)*
