PRESENTS

THE MAC WELLMAN HOMECOMING FESTIVAL

A three-day celebration of a groundbreaking playwright hailing from
Cleveland, Ohio. Recognized among the most influential figures of the
Off-Off-Broadway era, Mac Wellman has been described as an “avatar of
alternatives” (American Theatre) and “James Joyce reborn as a rap artist” (The
New York Times). Mac Wellman is an essential presence in the lineage of
dramatists from the Cleveland area -- join us in giving him this
long-overdue recognition!

March 23 - 25, 2017
