"Thanks to a quietly elegant script and some intriguing staging
techniques, this production is mesmerizing from beginning to end...the
pure storytelling here is glorious...it is entrancing. Sepesy navigates
[these] highly theatrical but potentially rocky waters with skill, using
humor and just enough poetry to give the piece a chilling yet oddly
evocative tone. The script is enhanced by Trad Burns' fantasy-forest
set...." Christine Howey, Cleveland Scene
"Sincere in intent, the language and emotional thrust of the writing is
never maudlin and holds one's interest throughout. On one level, the
play is grotesque and funny; on another, it is provocative, oddly moving
and very realistic.... In an economically challenged season, where most
area theatrers are playing it safe, Cleveland Public Theatre remains
cutting-edge in its strong support of new works by area playwrights."
Fran Heller, Cleveland Jewish News
The Alice Seed is a moving and exceptional tale of loss and the powerful
desire to regain the past and hold on to our most cherished ones. Part
horror story, part family drama, The Alice Seed is pure gothic Americana
reminiscent of Edgar Allan Poe, the Twilight Zone and the Coen Brothers'
movies.

What the critics are saying:
"Few evenings in the theater are so thoroughly entertaining and
educational without being in the least condescending or preachy. ...This
is must-see theater." - Tony Brown, Cleveland Plain Dealer
"Before you even finish reading this review, hurry and get your tickets
to see what just might be the best show you'll see all year long... The
75-minute show packs an unforgettable wallop. Don't miss it." - Fran
Heller, Cleveland Jewish News
No Child... by Nilaja Sun is an award-winning one woman show based on
Sun's experiences teaching at Malcolm X High School in the Bronx, where
every day students struggle simply to come to school. Talented actor
Nina Domingue plays 16 characters in this funny and moving work,
including teachers, students, parents, administrators, janitors and
security guards. Created in response to No Child Left Behind, No
Child... highlights how one determined woman can change the lives of
countless others and exposes the inequity of the American public school
system.

The always absurd and often offensive Christopher Durang turns political
humor upside down with a raucous and provocative satire about America's
growing homeland insecurity. Honing in on our private terrors both at
home and abroad, Durang reveals our fears in this bizarre black comedy
for an era of yellow, orange, and red alerts. Don't miss the regional
premiere of this hilarious and sometimes disturbing new work.

Kusak, Jenna Messina and Mary Jane Nottage
