[NEohioPAL] TrueNorth's "Brighton Beach Memoirs" Opens This Friday

[TrueNorth Cultural Arts]

*TRUENORTH CLOSES THIS THEATRE SEASON WITH*

*BRIGHTON BEACH MEMOIRS*



Sheffield Village- TrueNorth Cultural Arts closes out the 2009-2010 Theatre
Season with *Brighton Beach Memoirs* by Neil Simon, directed by Bob
Kenderes. July 16 through August 1.  Show times are on Thursdays, Fridays
and Saturdays at 7:30pm and Sundays at 3pm.

*Brighton Beach Memoirs* was written in 1983 and is seen as a semi
autobiography of Simon’s childhood.  Set in the Brighton Beach section of
Brooklyn, New York in 1937, the main character is fifteen year old Eugene
(Jake Watkin).  He deals with his family including his older brother (Luke
Scattergood), his parents (Kathy Whitmore, Mike Nickley) and his mom’s
sister and her two daughters (Pam Matthews, Annmarie Steffes, Katrina
Walker) .  The play follows the struggling family for a few days and, as
Eugene’s father says, “If you didn’t have a problem, you wouldn’t live in
this house.”   Two family members face heart disease, one has asthma, and
two temporarily lose their jobs that are needed to keep the family afloat.
Enjoy this play as Simon has combined the comic and seriousness of family
life.

*Brighton Beach Memoirs* runs July 16 through August 1 at TrueNorth at
French Creek Nature Center. Show times are 7:30pm on Thursdays, Fridays and
Saturdays at 7:30pm and on Sundays. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased
online at www.metroparks.cc or by calling (440) 949-5200. French Creek
Nature Center is located at 4530 Colorado Avenue in Sheffield Village.  Call
