*HERE IS THE LINE UP FOR OUR FIRST ZOOM OF OUR SERIES :: MONDAY OCTOBER 5,
2020 @7pm :: *

*NO GOOD DEED* :: By *Cynthia Dettelbach* ::

An attorney harvests lessons in loyalty after his young female partner
absconds with his clients and his sense of self-worth..
Starring :: *Paul Slimak** *as Tom Brownlee*  ::  *Agnes Herrmann** *as
Phyllis Brownlee * ::

*Cindy Dettelbach* has been a member of Stagewrights since its inception
some ten years ago. Several of her plays, including *“For the Love of a
Leica”* and *“Choices"* were produced as part of the Colombi New Plays
 Festival held at Ensemble each March. Her play, *“Invisible,”* slated for
opening in late March 2020, was sidelined by Covid19.

*GOODNUFF* :: By *Edward J. Walsh* ::

Soured on people and life, the disabled Black owner of a pawnshop confronts
a young man who may be a threat or a godsend.
Starring :: *Peter Lawson Jones* **as Mr Goodnuff*  :: *Kyle Carthens* *as
Cornelius Carter* ::

*Ed Walsh *has worn a lot of hats during his writing career in Northeast
Ohio, but his favorite one is that of the playwright. Laboring as a lone
wolf or sometimes as a collaborator, he has seen a number of his efforts
make it to the stage. In Northeast Ohio, his work has been produced at
Dobama Theatre, Cuyahoga Community College-Western CampusTheatre, Berea
Summer Theatre, Kent State University, John Carroll University, and Chagrin
Valley Little Theatre-River Street Playhouse. Two of Walsh’s plays were
performed as part of The Colombi New Plays Festival at Ensemble Theatre in
recent years. One of these, “One-on-One," deals with the confrontation
between two white kids and a lone African-American kid on a neighborhood
basketball court. The play was later published, as was Walsh’s adaptation
of “Frankenstein.” The only question is, "What will come out from under
that hat next?"::

*ZOOM WENT THE STRINGS OF MY HEART* :: By *Molly McFadden* ::

"Zoom Went the Strings of My Heart" is about seeking company,
companionship, and comfort during these days of isolation and loneliness.
Dealing with the pandemic as they are trying to survive and illustrating
their need for companionship, dialogue and community. Ends with hope.
Starring :: *Molly McFadden* *as Maureen* :: *Peter Lawson Jones** * as
Eugene* :: *Cat R. Kenney*
* as Various Roles ::*
*Molly McFadden*, what do you wish to know? I bring before you my passion.
I live to create -meaning to write and perform. Well guess what, Ensemble
and CPT have afforded me that opportunity...how lucky can a girl be. I now
reside in Cleveland, OH and work alongside my husband to pursue these
passions. We have lived here for 5 years and accomplished so much. Before
that, while living in New York I had  the opportunity of performing and
singing at a variety of theatres, clubs and concerts in Manhattan.  I also
studied with the famed teacher, Allen Savage for acting in Manhattan after
I received my MFA in Theater. I performed in regional theatres across the
country, as well as a  variety of wonderful artistic groups like the York
Theater and Theater in the Square and Manhattan Theatre Club. So now the
Manhattan skyline is behind me and I pursue my writing.  I have had the
opportunity to complete and perform works I have created here such as, *"Living
on the Moon"*, *"Fish Feel Pain"* and now tonight,  *"Zoom Went the Strings
of my Heart".*  Actually this piece reminds me of the work of Mike Nichols
and Elaine May taking a snapshot of the American scene and performing  it
for the Manhattan audience who would reflect and enjoy the crossroads of
their lives.  Hope you enjoy it.
