Cleveland, Ohio,  August 30, 2015 — Mamai Theatre Company
<http://www.mamaitheatreco.org/> concludes its third season with new
private and public funding grants, residency at the second of its two new
venues - Playhouse Square - and a production of Ariel Dorfman
<http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d5/DorfmanA1.jpg/250px-DorfmanA1.jpg>’s
chilling and relevant play, DEATH AND THE MAIDEN
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_and_the_Maiden_(play)>, directed by
Artistic Associate, Katia P. Schwarz, as well as exciting pre- and
post-production surround events including a radio interview with Ariel
Dorfman, a free community library event, and special post-show guest
panels.  Mamai's production of Death and the Maiden is supported in part by
the residents of Cuyahoga County through a public grant from Cuyahoga Arts
& Culture.

DEATH AND THE MAIDEN

A democratic age is dawning in an unspecified Latin American country. When
her husband offers hospitality to a stranger, Paulina, haunted by her past,
believes she recognizes their guest’s voice as that of the man who tortured
her 15 years earlier. The 48 hours that follow radically alter the lives of
all three. This 1991 thriller gave a new voice to women’s survivorship
awareness, and is an unforgettable three-handed acting triumph.

Director Katia P. Schwarz notes: “What resonates for me is that Paulina’s
experiences represent the stories of countless others who have lived
through the brutal dictatorships of Latin America, South Africa’s Apartheid
era and others. The play serves as a stark reminder of the human rights
violations we continue to witness in the world today.”

Mamai Theatre Company was co-founded in 2010 by Bernadette Clemens, Wendy
Kriss, Christine McBurney, and Derdriu Ring. Mamai (pronounced Mah' may) is
the Gaelic word for “mother.” Four working mothers, theatre artists,
colleagues, and friends arrived at a place where it was time to create
opportunities for themselves and their community. “Don’t wait to create”
became the inspiration for Mamai Theatre Company.

Our mission is to create intelligent, relevant classical theatre that
offers an artistic home for Cleveland's theatre artists, and equal
opportunity for women in the professional theatre community.

In 2013 The Plain Dealer announced, “Mamai Theatre Company...has made a
howling entrance onto the city’s artistic scene” and named their inaugural
production, Medea, a top-10 theatre event of the year. In 2014
LandofCleve.net added, “In only a few short years, Mamai Theatre Company
has established themselves as a major player in the Cleveland theatre
community." We are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
