Joanna Glass’ TRYING Concludes This Weekend At Kennedy’s, PlayhouseSquare 



The Cesear’s Forum production of Joanna McClelland Glass’ TRYING, about aging U.S. 

Attorney General Francis Biddle, will conclude it’s Cleveland limited engagement run this 

weekend.  TRYING premiered at Chicago’s Victory Gardens Theatre followed by a 

successful transfer to the Promenade Theatre in Manhattan in 2005.  The Cleveland 

production features Glenn Colerider and Tricia Bestic.   The story, inspired by playwright 

Glass' own experience as Biddle's personal secretary from 1967-68, focuses on the 

inevitability of decline with dignity and how two strangers, at dramatically different 

places in their lives, can unexpectedly and forever influence each other.

“Colerider & Bestic fashion a friendship between their characters that feels genuine 

and significant.”  -- Christine Howey, Cleveland Plain Dealer

“The performances are first rate…Colerider & Bestic play off each other with 

compassionate fidelity.”  --Roy Berko, CoolCleveland 

 Final performances Friday, December 9 and Saturday, December 10 at 8 pm, Kennedy’s 

Down Under, PlayhouseSquare, 1501 Euclid Ave., Cleveland.  $15.  Go to 

playhousesquare.org or call 216-241-6000.
