Forum at Dobama Theatre

World Premiere Play

10
More Minutes From Cleveland

at
Dobama’s New Home on Lee Road in Cleveland Heights

 

September 22, 2009 – Join Dobama Theatre for a Community Forum on Sunday, October
18, 2009, following the 2:30 p.m. performance of 10
More Minutes From Cleveland.    Sponsored in
part by a generous grant from Cuyahoga Arts and Culture, Dobama has partnered
with The Cleveland Leadership Center and the Cleveland Heights/University
Heights Library to present a discussion that tackles the question “Where does
Cleveland go from here?”  

 

Through the play’s ten scenes, we
are asked, what do we need to carry with us and what do we need to leave
behind?  What is weighing us down,
and what is keeping us from leaping forward?  The issues of regionalism, brain drain and a declining
manufacturing base are at the heart of these questions.  Hopefully through the play’s laughter,
we can begin to explore the serious challenges we all face.  A moderator and panelists will lead us
through the discussions.

 

The Forum will begin at approximately 4:45 in the new Dobama
Theatre at 2340 Lee Road, Cleveland Heights.  We encourage patrons to purchase a ticket to the 2:30 p.m.
performance.  Those interested in
just attending the Forum can do so free-of-charge, and should plan on arriving
at 4:35 p.m.
