<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:
normal;text-autospace:none"><i>Managing! </i>tells the autobiographical story
of Sayre's hopeful and comedic journey from his career as an operatic stage
manager to that of being a warm body in a cold office. You'll enjoy hearing
about the attempts to leave "show biz" for the security of a
"real job." Imagine trying to convince the interviewer that your
University education is, indeed, valuable. And, once hired, what can you do to
keep the job that you know nothing about? Or the follies of being hired by an
employer who doesn't even want to succeed! <i>Managing! </i>is a story
demonstrating the ridiculousness of reality and how it can make for great
entertainment. Forget your (un)employment stresses for one night and laugh at
someone else's!</p>

</b>The Broadview Heights Spotlights is a non-profit (501c) corporation that
was founded in June of 1998 to create a unique, intergenerational theater that
would work closely with the City of Broadview Heights to its events and foster
a new awareness of and opportunities in the performing arts for the community.
In November, 2003, the City Council passed an ordinance granting a long-term,
low-cost lease of a building on the Broadview Center campus. The building, a
former medical group home, was renovated by volunteers and houses the
Spotlights’ Main Stage theater season, Cabaret Season, educational classes, and
special events.</p>
