Magnificat High School presents SHE STOOPS TO CONQUER - One Weekend Only!
by Dale Van Niel via NEohioPAL 17 Apr '15

*MAGNIFICAT HIGH SCHOOL * *p**resents* *SHE STOOPS TO CONQUER* by Oliver Goldsmith *April 24 & 25 at 7:30pm* *April 26 at 2:00pm* *Magnificat Center for the Performing Arts* *20770 Hilliard Blvd, Rocky River 44116* One of the comic jewels of the English theatre, *She Stoops to Conquer* lampoons the quirks and customs of 18th-century England, from matchmaking and marriage to character and class. Aptly subtitled *The Mistakes of a Night*, this light-hearted farce turns several imminent romances upside-down through an absurd series of deceptions, disguises, and mistaken identities. It’s a wildly funny romp through the English countryside. This restoration comedy is filled with mistaken identities, studied strong women, the bumbling geniality of parents, confused gallantry of tongue-tied lovers. The story rushes along with breathless hilarity as characters trip over each other on the stage. Lots of door slamming and silliness. *Tickets are on sale now! To purchase tickets log on to: www.magnificat.tix.com <http://www.magnificat.tix.com/> or call 440-331-1572 <440-331-1572>, 261* *Adults - $13 Senior/Students (under 18) - $8* *Dale Van Niel* Performing Arts Center Manager Magnificat High School 20770 Hilliard Blvd. Rocky River, OH 44116 440-331-1572 x.284 dvanniel(a)maghs.org

CLEVE REVIEW: Talespinner's 'Rosalynde & the Falcon' Offers a Frantically Fun Family Fairy Tale <http://inthelandofcleve.blogspot.com/2015/04/cleve-review-talespinners-rosa…> *Rosalynde & the Falcon** (a Topsy-Turvy Tale of England) *is written by David Hansen and directed by Alison Garrigan. Together with their cast and crew, they have cleverly devised a frantically fun fairy tale filled with fast friends, freedom fighters, fools, and frivolity! The acting troupe is colorfully comedic as they merrily recount the story of a runaway princess and her encounter with woodland thieves. Shayla Gordon is nimbly noble in the title role, Devon Turchan makes an indelible impression as her princely sibling, and Christopher Walker is regal and commanding as the King. The terrific trio of Charles Hargrave, Tim Pringpuangkeo and Valerie C. Kilmer have a blast creating chaos and mayhem as rustic robbers who strongly resemble Groucho, Chico and Harpo. Every member of the staff makes a magical contribution -- movement by Stephanie Wilbert, lighting by Josh Heidinger, costume and mask design by Melanie Boeman, sets and puppets by Alison Garrigan, and stage management by Tim Maca...

Performance: WordStage Literary Concerts presents The Epic of Gilgamesh at the Lakewood Public Library
by Tim Tavcar via NEohioPAL 17 Apr '15

17 Apr '15

WordStage Literary Concerts presents - The Epic of Gilgamesh Thursday, April 23rd at7:00 pm at The Lakewood Public Library’s Main Branch Auditorium – 15425 DetroitAvenue. Lakewood, OH. The Performance is FREE and Open to the Public Love, Sex, Murder,Jealousy, Heroism, Vanity, Lust, all that and more can be found in the firstgreat masterpiece of world literature, The Epic of Gilgamesh. This sweeping saga recounts the adventures ofa legendary king and is based in all likelihood on an actual historical figure,Gilgamesh, the ruler of the Babylonian city of Uruk around 2700 B.C. Creditedwith erecting the massive wall around Uruk, the first major city, Gilgameshemerged over the centuries as the hero of a cycle of poems, and eventually ofthe 3,000-line epic, which reached final form around 1200 B.C. Like all ancientMesopotamian literature, the epic of Gilgamesh was lost to historical memorywith the eclipse of the ancient cultures of Assyria and Babylonia in thecenturies before Christ. Only in the mid-19th century did British and Frencharchaeologists begin to explore the mysterious mounds in present-day Iraq thatheld the remains of the first urban societies. A particularly rich find was thelibrary of Ashurbanipal, last great king of Assyria. In the 1850s, British archaeologist AustinHenry Layard and his Iraqi associate, Hormuzd Rassam, unearthed it in the ruinsof Nineveh. They shipped 100,000tablets and fragments home to the British Museum, and, gradually, scholarsbegan to piece them together and decipher the ancient texts. In 1872, the youngcurator George Smith created a sensation when he unearthed Gilgamesh's brokentablets in the museum's collection. Smith immediately perceived that thecharacter of Uta-napishtim, Gilgamesh's ancestor, constituted an early versionof the Bible's Noah—a striking parallel at a time when Victorian debates overreligion and science were at their height. The text has beenadapted from a contemporary translation of the Epic of Gilgamesh by StephenMitchell, and a dramatic verse play setting of the legend by poet YusefKomunyakaa and Dramaturge Chad Gracia. This performance,commissioned by the Lakewood Public Library for its 2015 National Poetry MonthCelebration, will feature actors Michael Mauldin, Dan Kilbane, Agnes Herrmann,Paul Slimak, Marci Paolucci, and WordStage Artistic Director, Tim Tavcar. An original and multi-layered soundscape toaccompany the reading will be created and performed by master percussionist –Paul Stranahan.
