Mercury Summer Stock is offering free admission for the final four  
performances of it's inaugural TeenStock production, the award- 
winning off-Broadway hit musical Dear Edwina,  at The Cleveland Play  
House July 17 & 24, 2010. This delightful musical features Edwina  
Spoonapple and her friends in their weekly advice-giving show direct  
from her garage in Paw Paw, Michigan, as they tackle the world’s  
greatest problems. Perfect for the whole family! All performances are  
at the Brooks Theatre in the Cleveland Play House and reservations  
for Dear Edwina are available by calling the Mercury Summer Stock box  
office at 216.771.5862.

In the classic tradition of “Let’s put on a show,” DEAR EDWINA’s  
plucky heroine, Edwina Spoonapple, decides that she and her pals will  
do just that.  Edwina’s special talent is giving advice, and she  
would do almost anything to be a part of the Kalamazoo Advice-a- 
palooza Festival. When a talent scout visits her hometown of Paw Paw,  
Michigan, Edwina – assisted by a host of quirky friends and neighbors  
- enthusiastically sings out her musical advice in hopes of finding  
her own special place in the spotlight. Together Edwina and company  
tackle a plethora of problems, in numbers about everything from  
birthday party etiquette to the proper way to set a table (“salad  
fork, fork, plate, knife, spoon”).  This smart and sassy “show within  
a show,” with whip-smart lyrics and instantly hummable tunes and  
offers clever advice on kid-troubling issues running the gamut from  
what to do when offered icky food to how to deal with a truly  
annoying brother. But the most precious lesson of all involves  
learning to survive disappointment and all problems are summed up in  
the affirmative anthem, “Sing Your Own Song.”
