This delightful musical, based on a true story, will open on Friday, November 6, 2015, and run through Saturday, November 21.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'> The musical is a dual coming-of-age story and is autobiographical as Hein wrote about his own mother’s journey of self-discovery. Claire (JB Miller of Chagrin Falls) has divorced her husband Garth (Brian Pichola of Streetsboro), and takes a teaching job at The University of Ottawa in Ottawa, Canada While she is forced to leave behind her own son David (Jared McGrath of Akron/ Nathan Mudrak of Kent as Young David), she is optimistic to start her life over in a new place. She rents an apartment from Michelle (Carol Tymchenko of Stow) who hosts the local lesbian choir which includes Jane (Chanda Porter of Barberton), who is not only a lesbian, but also a Wiccan. Claire and Jane seem to hit it off, and the story then explodes as it tackles many issues intent on keeping the audience of their toes. Also in the cast are Jessica West of Kent as Irene and Dave Hinebaugh of West Akron as the rabbi, Sam, and other characters. <b><i>MMLJWW </i></b>also features the talents of Dave Stebbins of Stow as director and musical director, and Susan Omspacker of Stow as assistant director and production stage manager.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'> <b><i>MMLJWW</i></b> opens on Friday, November 6, 2015, and runs for three weekends, through November 21.
