FINAL WEEKEND for Mamai's THREE SISTERS & AEA Discount Thursday!
by Christine via NEohioPAL 15 Jun '15

15 Jun '15

Mamai Theatre Company Presents the FINAL WEEKEND & 3rd Thursday AEA Discount tickets to THREE SISTERS by Anton Chekhov "Tickets will be fought over to see this classic work done as theater should be… there are not enough words of praise sufficient to convey the sense of awe one has when witnessing the performance. This may well be the best dramatic production of the season and must not be missed. It is classic theater done masterfully." ~Mark Horning, AXS "Director Bernadette Clemens finds all the very intimate, inescapably dark and often very funny moments in this four-act...masterwork. And her remarkable ensemble of players puts them on display." ~Bob Abelman, the Cleveland Jewish News "This female-run theater company, specializing in classic works, usually delivers quality goods and this production is no exception." "...under the crisp and often inspired direction of Bernadette Clemens...[the] acting company lash[es] your attention to the small moments at hand." ~Christine Howey, Scene Magazine THREE SISTERS follows Olga, Masha, and Irina as they struggle to let go of their past and to shape their future. A domineering sister-in-law, romance, soldiers, and money all challenge the Prozorov family’s happiness and unity. With artful depiction of three very different women, Chekhov fascinates audiences with his ability to articulate the chaos or peace of a single moment and the comedy of life’s struggles. Director Bernadette Clemens notes: “THREE SISTERS is like a very fine still-life painting. The play has rich composition, intriguing contrast, and dark shadow highlighting the most delicate, ephemeral detail. It is everything we suspect a classic of a major playwright to be. Just when we enjoy the most infinitesimal, personal moment --a clock striking, a top spinning, finding a loose fork on the terrace-- Chekhov invites us to peek at the gaping, universal experience: love, war, time. Only Chekhov lets us laugh this way at the very things that are so frustrating, so mysterious about living. In THREE SISTERS, as in all of Chekhov’s plays, life is never about the future. It is inevitably, torturously, gloriously, and comically about the present moment.” Three Sisters by Anton Chekhov Directed by Bernadette Clemens Scenic Design by Don McBride Costume Design by Debbie Marino Sound Design by Bernadette Clemens Lighting Design by Jeff Lockshine Live Music by Joseph Milan, Accordion & Joshua Smalley, Violin Properties Design by Monica Plunkett JUNE 4 - 21, 2015 Cleveland Masonic Performing Arts Center <http://www.paccleveland.com/> DeMolay Room 3615 Euclid Avenue Cleveland, Ohio 44115 Thursdays - Saturdays at 7:30 pm Sundays at 2:30 pm See publicity photo of Natalie Green, Anjanette Hall, and Meghan Grover as Chekhov's THREE SISTERS here <http://www.mamaitheatreco.org/#!three-sisters/cguq>!

Mamai Theatre Company was co-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. In 2013 The Plain Dealer announced, “Mamai Theatre Company...has made a howling entrance onto the city’s artistic scene” and named their inaugural production, Medea, a top-10 theatre event of the year. In 2014 LandofCleve.net added, “In only a few short years, Mamai Theatre Company has established themselves as a major player in the Cleveland theatre community. We are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. www.mamaitheatreco.org <http://www.mamaitheatreco.org/> mamaitheatrecocleveland(a)gmail.com

Cool Cleveland, Laura Kennelly<http://coolcleveland.com/blog/2015/05/theater-review-the-young-man-from-atl…> "It draws you in right from the very beginning and keeps you intrigued to the very end." Sun News, Shirley MacFarland<http://www.cleveland.com/strongsville/index.ssf/2015/05/the_young_man_from_…> "A splendid production...a master class in nuanced, naturalistic acting." Norwalk Reflector, Aaron Krause<http://www.norwalkreflector.com/article/7180831> Winner of the 1995 Pulitzer Prize for Drama THE YOUNG MAN FROM ATLANTA Written by Horton Foote The Academy Award(r) Winning Screenwriter of To Kill a Mockingbird Directed by Eric Schmiedl May 29 - June 28, 2015 8 p.m. Fridays & Saturdays 3 p.m. Sundays Studio Theater ABOUT THE SHOW Lakewood, OH-Beck Center for the Arts is pleased to present the 1995 Pulitzer Prize-winning drama, The Young Man from Atlanta, May 29 through June 28, 2015 in the intimate Studio Theater. Show times are 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, and 3 p.m. Sundays. Tickets are now on sale. Buy early and save with promo code: ATLANTA to receive $5 off each adult/senior ticket purchased by May 28. The Young Man from Atlanta comes from Horton Foote, the Academy Award(r)-winning screenwriter of To Kill a Mockingbird and Tender Mercies. The story begins as a Texas couple attempts to make sense of the death of their son and complications arise when the man their son had been "rooming with" in Atlanta arrives. Called "immensely satisfying, crafted with excellence...Not to be missed" by the New York Post, this beautifully wrought story explores grief, faith, sexual orientation, race relations, and the American dream. Beck Center welcomes back Eric Schmiedl after previously directing the critically acclaimed The Velocity of Autumn in the Studio Theater. "There are no entirely good characters and no entirely bad ones in The Young Man from Atlanta," commented Schmiedl. "Rather, it is filled with real people trying desperately to do the best they can." Starring Dudley Swetland and Anne McEvoy, this production features a cast of nine talented actors prepared to bring this profound story life. Swetland and Tina D. Stump appear courtesy of the Actors' Equity Association. "This production is filled with tough questions, complex characters, and talented artists. It is a combination for theatrical fireworks and a wonderful dramatic experience." Tickets are $29 for adults, $26 for seniors (65 and older), and $12 for students with a valid I.D. A $3 service fee per ticket will be applied at time of purchase. Group discounts are available for parties of four or more.
