[NEohioPAL] FINAL WEEKEND! 'night, Mother at Beck Center

[Pat Miller]

This weekend is the last chance to catch Beck Center's critically acclaimed production of 'night, Mother. Don't miss what critics have called, "one of the finest evenings of theater one can experience."



This production marks the return of Cleveland's grand dame of theater Dorothy Silver as Thelma, and the award-winning Laura Perrotta as Jessie. Silver returns to Beck Center after her acclaimed performance in the regional premiere of Eric Coble's The Velocity of Autumn. Perrotta returns to Beck Center after being named "Best Actress in a Non-Musical" in 2012 by the Cleveland Critics Circle for her role as the cunning Hollywood agent Diane in The Little Dog Laughed. Perrotta appears courtesy of the Actors' Equity Association (AEA), the union of actors and stage managers.

Mark Horning, Cleveland Fine Arts Examiner<http://www.examiner.com/review/beck-center-s-for-the-arts-production-of-night-mother-is-hard-drama>

"A tense and touching tour de force."

"Dorothy Silver...and Laura Perrotta...give the rich script the treatment it needs to be effective for audiences today."
