*Subject: New novel about **NE Ohio theater community benefits NEohioPAL*



I’m thrilled to announce that award-winning theater critic Bob Abelman’s
first fictional book, “All the World’s a Stage Fright: Misadventures of a
Clandestine Critic,” has just been published!  When you buy a copy of this
funny and fast-paced novel from https://www.grayco.com/coupon/neohiopal/,
NEohioPAL gets a $5 per book donation to help it remain a free and vibrant
resource for the local theater community.

 “All the World’s a Stage Fright” is a fictionalized memoir about a theater
critic who takes an acting role in a top-tier production of “As You Like
It” in order to write about the experience.  He must overcome a
mind-numbing fear of Shakespeare, share the  stage with actors he has
panned in the past, and avoid getting panned by his fellow critics.

I loved reading this book and think you'll enjoy it as well. But don't just
take my word for it …

 “I literally couldn’t stop smiling.  ‘All the World’s a Stage Fright’ is a
valentine and Abelman’s unfailing love of Cleveland theater comes through
loud and clear.”  ~Vicky Bussert, Director of Music Theatre, Baldwin
Wallace University

"Fast, punchy and funny. Combines a warm-hearted comic look at the terrors
of creation with nuggets of history and context. It's one of those rare
escapist reads where you come out a bit smarter than you went in." ~Eric
Coble, playwright

"Funny. Utterly delightful. Totally believable … a hilarious, but
true-to-life, glimpse into the madcap and magical process of putting on a
play.  I enjoyed every minute of it." ~John Rubinstein, Tony Award-winning
actor (Pippin, Ragtime)
