THE PILLOWMAN

and Sunday, July 10th at 2 pm.  Tickets are $5 and available at the  
door.  Reservations can be made online or by calling 330.990.5138.

Ben Brantley from the New York Times called The Pillowman, “Energizing… 
A blindingly bright black comedy.”  The play tells the tale of  
Katurian, a writer in an unnamed totalitarian state, who is being  
interrogated about the gruesome content of his short stories and their  
similarities to a series of brutal child murders.  This production is  
an unflinching examination of the purpose of art and the nature of  
artistic responsibility.

Daring to explore new techniques, Heads Up is creating this show using  
The Method of Physical Actions.  The Method of Physical Actions was  
developed by Stanislavski, the father of modern acting technique, to  
enable actors to live truthfully onstage.

This technique helps the actors to create startling, immediate  
performances that sizzle in the summer heat.  This production also  
marks Heads Up’s journey into mask work.

The ensemble includes:

Amy Spencer from Cuyahoga Falls, OH

Tyler Hodges from Ashland, OH

Kim Woodworth from Aurora, OH

Brian Jackson from Akron, OH

TJ Jozsa from Stow, OH

Rosilyn Jentner from Akron, OH

Antonia Villalon from Sandusky, OH

  Director: Benjamin Rexroad, Artistic Director of Heads Up, from  
Akron, OH

Stage Manager: Dan Ward from Akron, OH

  Heads Up Productions is Akron’s newest and boldest theatre company,
