[NEohioPAL] Upcoming theatre productions at all three Tri-C campuses

[Gloor, Fred]

Marriage, God, and the Marx Brothers are focus of spring theatre
productions this April at Tri-C

 

Student-Directed One-Act Plays at Metro

The Metropolitan Campus Theatre will feature two student-directed
one-act plays this spring. 

The first is Woody Allen's God, a play within a farcical
play-within-a-play about a playwright and an actor trying to figure out
how to end their play and raising questions about existence. First
published in a 1975 story collection, God will be directed by Leslie
Lovelace.

The second is Cocoanut Soup at the Palace, or If the Marx Brothers Had
Performed Oedipus The King written by Thomas Hischak. It's a Burlesque
re-telling of the Oedipus Rex myth with the Marx Brothers in primary
roles. A serious chorus and an equally serious Jocasta add interest.
Asia Wyley directs the performance.  

The plays will be performed at 7:30 p.m. April 4, 5, 6 and 1:30 p.m.
April 7 at the Metropolitan Campus Studio Theatre, 2900 Community
College Ave., Cleveland. Tickets are $10 for adults; $8 for students,
seniors and Tri-C employees, and $5 for Tri-C students with valid ID.
They will be sold at the door. To reserve tickets, call 216-987-4211 or

Godspell at Tri-C West

The Cuyahoga Community College (Tri-C(r)) Western Campus Theatre will
present Godspell, Berea native John-Michael Tebelak's ground-breaking
musical based on the Gospel According to Matthew.  This production will
be the regional premiere of the 2011 revival.  

Godspell debuted off Broadway in 1971 and became one of the biggest
theatre successes of all time. Featuring a sparkling score by Stephen
Schwartz, Godspell boasts a string of well-loved songs, including the
hit Day By Day. Its reflection on the life of Jesus carries a message of
kindness, tolerance and love. 

The Tri-C West production, directed by Pierre-Jacques Brault, will run
at 8 p.m. April 19, 20, 24, 25, 26 and 27, and at 2 p.m. April 21 and
28. The Western Campus Theatre is at 11000 Pleasant Valley Road, Parma.
Tickets are $10 for adults; $8 for students, seniors and Tri-C
employees, and $2 for Tri-C students with valid ID. Group rates are
available for 10 or more. Tickets can be purchased online at
