<P><FONT face=Arial>FIRST MONDAYS presents a reading of BLATNOY BLUES, a quirky
new comedy by Eoin Carney at Judson Manor on Monday, May 7 at 7:30 p.m.
The play was the winner of the 2012 Lake Erie Playwright Competition sponsored
by Cuyahoga Community College. BLATNOY BLUES tracks the meteoric rise of
Pyotr Shcherbarov, a Russian physicist who alternately charms and strong-arms
his way to the top of a Midwestern University.<BR><BR>Originally from Ireland,
playwright Eoin (pronounced Owen) Carney is an Assistant Professor of Radiology
at the University of Pittsburgh. His first play, Underlings, was read at
the 2004 Pittsburgh New Works Festival and in 2008, at the Great Plains Theatre
Conference. His ten-minute plays have been produced in the USA, the UK, South
Korea and Malaysia.<BR><BR>Admission is $5 at the door. Judson Manor is located
at 1890 East 107th Street in University Circle, just across the street from the
University Methodist Church, affectionately dubbed the "Church of the Holy Oil
Can" because of its unusual roofline. Park free in a gated lot that is
just steps away from the Judson lobby.<BR><BR>We're pleased to announce that you
