<p><font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica,
sans-serif" size="2">One morning in 1986, a
Dutch librarian discovers in the return slot a
book checked out in 1873 and only just returned.
His sense of library decorum outraged, the
librarian determines to find the party
responsible, and to collect the appropriate
fine. His quest takes him not only all over the
physical world, but on a journey of remarkable
spiritual discovery. A tale of seemingly petty
bureaucratic procedure becomes the stuff of
profound revelation about our relationship to
responsibility, fate, humanity, and God. Full of
both pathos and humor, Glen Berger's play both
entertains and illuminates.</font></p>

Women's Committee</a> is pleased to present
this special one-night-only performance by
celebrated actor and motivational speaker Mary
Faktor. Mary will perform her smash-hit,
one-woman show <i>The Six Ages of Woman,</i>
which chronicles the life of "Vicki" through
hilarious phone conversations with her best
friend "Madge." Originally written in the 1980s,
the show has been continually updated to keep up
with the times.</font></p>
<p><font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica,
sans-serif" size="2">Although you never see
Vicki's husband, children or best friend, by the
end of the hour-and-fifteen-minute show, you'll
know them all quite intimately. Watch time pass
before your eyes as Vicki changes from
starry-eyed teenager discovering love, to newly
wed bride full of romantic dreams, to expectant
mother anticipating the joys of parenthood, to
frenzied housewife with over-active toddlers, to
menopausal woman reentering the workforce, to
grandmother beginning her retirement years. You
will likely see a part of yourself during some
phase of Vicki's metamorphosis, and you will
laugh at yourself while doing so. </font></p>
<p><font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica,
sans-serif" size="2">Featured on TV8 and Channel
3's "Today in Cleveland," <i>The Six Ages of
Woman</i> has delighted audiences of 20 to
2,000 in theatres, party centers, corporate
banquets, cruiselines, churches, and comedy
clubs nationwide.</font></p>
<p><font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica,
sans-serif" size="2">And don't let the title
fool you! <i>The Six Ages of Woman</i> is also
immensely popular with male audience members.
The universal humor of love, marriage, kids, and
work appeals to men and women alike. Underlining
the comedy is a message of positive growth that
benefits all who see the show.</font></p>
