It is also about math, sex, Byron, and South Pacific botany, among a host of other things. Wrap your brain and heart around Stoppard’s genius and investigate the depths of a mystery hermitage, a transitory tortoise, and a brilliant young female mind eluding the historical record.</span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Director Christine McBurney says of <i>Arcadia</i>: “Everyone is in search of knowledge in Arcadia: mathematical, carnal, historical, you name it. What an absolute treat to work on this comedy of manners. This detective story. This love story. This intellectual and emotional roller coaster. Playwright Tom Stoppard challenges the actor, the director, and the audience, while also trusting us with this masterpiece. As we bask in his luxurious and complex characters, situations, language, and ideas, we are rewarded for our efforts. Some characters find what they are looking for. Some don’t. No matter. As Hannah tells us, “it’s the wanting to know that makes us matter.”</span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">In 2013, the Plain Dealer said, “Mamai Theatre Company...made a howling entrance onto the city’s artistic scene” and named their inaugural production, <i>Medea</i>, a top 10 theatre event of the year. Also in 2013, The Cleveland Critics’ Circle honored actor Tracee Patterson with a Best Actress Circle Award for her role as Medea in Mamai’s inaugural production.</span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Mamai Theatre Company was founded in 2010 by Bernadette Clemens, Wendy Kriss, Christine McBurney, and Derdriu Ring. Mamai (pronounced Mah' may) is the Gaelic word for “mother.” Four working mothers, theatre artists, colleagues, and friends arrived at a place where it was time to create opportunities for themselves and their community. “Don’t wait to create” became the inspiration for Mamai Theatre Company. Our mission is to create intelligent, relevant classical theatre that offers an artistic home for Cleveland's theatre artists, and equal opportunity for women in the professional theatre community.</span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div><b style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">ARCADIA</b></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">By Tom Stoppard</span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Directed by Christine McBurney</span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Scenic Design by Don McBride</span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Costume Design by Jenniver Sparano</span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Lighting Design by Benjamin Gantose</span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Sound Design by Cyrus O.
