<DIV><STRONG>I've done a little informal research this morning and here is what
I found...</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>Playhouse Square only cancels if there is an official "state of
emergency." Last night "We Gotta Bingo" had 68 people and "Wicked" was
sold out. Jacqi Loewy told me that "The "Bingo" crowd was raucous and had
a blast - they were all very proud of themselve for not letting the weather stop
them." </STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>Jacqi also told me that </STRONG><STRONG>"Two Rooms" at CPT
went on for 3 very appreciative people. At this point "Two Rooms" is
planning on going on tonight, but call the CPT box office to make sure before
you head out.</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>Ensemble's "The Fantasticks" opened. I don't know how many
people attended but all the critics made it there.</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>JCC doesn't perform on Friday night. Tri C has closed the
campus so tonight's performance of "Brooklyn Boy" is canceled. Hopefully
we will salvage the closing performance tomorrow, Sunday, March 9 at 2pm.
If you aren't busy with something else, please come! Brian Zoldessy has
done an outstanding job with a superlative cast.</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>The Cleveland Playhouse has canceled both performances of "Doubt"
for today.</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>Beck Center canceled their opening of "History Boys" and a
performance of "The Breakup Notebook: The Lesbian Musical." Scott Spence
wrote me and said "We did indeed cancel last night. The patrons calling in all
afternoon indicated they would be much happier to not have to travel, and we
also had actors in both shows coming from Canton, Akron, Kent and Hudson, among
other places. It seemed logical, though we are heartsick in canceling an opening
night ("History Boys"). It appears that conditions today are even worse,
so we have already decided to cancel both our shows for tonight. We plan to be
back on in both venues for Sunday afternoon -- having the first Sunday Opening
in Beck History!!!"</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>Actor Summit's performance of "MacBeth" went on as scheduled on
Friday.</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>Dobama's performance of "Colder Than Here" also went on as
scheduled on Friday, but they are canceling Saturday's.</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>I hope you all have a great snow day at home, OR a safe and
rewarding journey to the theatre.</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>Warm Regards,</STRONG></DIV>
