She may not know the answers but she asks the right questions.

*Dear Gabby: The Confessions of an Over-Achiever* tells the story of a
teen-aged girl who confronts a series of important life-lessons as she
writes the advice column for her school’s paper. *Dear Gabby *tour-de-force,
interactive performance for parents and teens of all ages.

The funny and poignant play will be presented at the Civic Theatre in
Downtown Akron for a single performance on Wednesday, February 2, 2011.
Tickets are $10.00 for adults and $5.00 for students and are available by
calling the Civic box office at 330.253.2488 or online at www.akroncivic.com.
 Seating is limited so patrons are encouraged to buy their tickets in
advance.

* Dear Gabby: The Confessions of an Over-Achiever* is by Chris DeCarlo and
Evelyn Rudie, who serve as co-Artistic Directors of the Santa Monica
Playhouse in California. They describe their play as an interactive theatre
experience, which explores such teen concerns as first love, peer pressure,
rejection, relationships, drugs, cheating, self-esteem, and the passion and
pain of piano lessons.

*Dear Gabby* is under the direction of guest artist Elynmarie Kazle who has
already directed the play three times at Firestone High School. She worked
at the Santa Monica Playhouse at the time of Dear Gabby’s original
performances and tours. Firestone Theatre has presented the play six times
over ten years to a wide variety of audiences. One production toured to the
Dayton, Ohio, area as well as returned home to the Santa Monica Playhouse
for two fund-raising performances. Kazle has served as the school’s Stage
Management Trainer and Mentor for 10 years and recently worked at the
Cleveland Playhouse.
