<i>DESCENT OF A DIVA</i>:</span></b><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>
What happens when an opera diva identifies too strongly with her signature
aria? The Doll Song from Offenbach's "Tales of Hoffmann" is the
portal to the diva Lillian Strang's history, and the sole performer melds and
morphs into Lillian and her family, colleagues, and past selves in
mid-20'-century and fin-de-siécle Vienna. Music, movement, and multimedia add
nuance to a harrowing tale inspired by Offenbach's opera and E.T.A. Hoffmann's
short story, "The Sand Man." Written by Deborah Magid, Music/Lyrics
by Offenbach/Barbier.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>The Dark Room
is a co-production of CPT and The Cleveland Theatre Collective and affords
emerging and veteran playwrights the space and resources to develop new works.
It offers a venue to workshop plays, novels, poems, or any other written work
in a supportive, yet critical environment.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
