Ample area garage and street parking. Open seating with the exception of press and sponsors. Please arrive early. Note: This production venue is *not* ADA Accessible. *This production is supported in part by the residents of Cuyahoga County through a public grant from Cuyahoga Arts & Culture.* *DEATH AND THE MAIDEN* A democratic age is dawning in an unspecified Latin American country. When her husband offers hospitality to a stranger, Paulina, haunted by her past, believes she recognizes their guest’s voice as that of the man who tortured her 15 years earlier. The 48 hours that follow radically alter the lives of all three. This 1991 thriller gave a new voice to women’s survivorship awareness, and is an unforgettable three-handed acting triumph. Mamai Artistic Associate and Director Katia P. Schwarz notes: “What resonates for me is that Paulina’s experiences represent the stories of countless others who have lived through the brutal dictatorships of Latin America, South Africa’s Apartheid era and others. The play serves as a stark reminder of the human rights violations we continue to witness in the world today.” *Special Post Show Event at Kennedy's* *Sunday, September 27th* *HEALING FROM TRAUMA * Guest Panelists Annette Kent and Kate Biddle of the Cleveland Rape Crisis Center. *Local Public Funding Supports & Enriches the Work of Mamai Theatre Company* In 2015, Mamai Theatre Company received over $3,700 in support from Cuyahoga Arts & Culture, which has helped us produce our third season as Cleveland’s newest classical theatre. This type of funding strengthens our community and enriches the quality of life in our neighborhoods for people of all ages. We’d like to take this opportunity to tell you a little bit more about this extremely important funding partner. The financial support received from the residents of Cuyahoga County through Cuyahoga Arts & Culture will help Mamai Theatre Company bring you our third production this season: Ariel Dorfman’s important play, Death and the Maiden. In keeping with our mission to create equal opportunity for women in the professional theatre, this production features a strong female protagonist and is directed by a woman. Cuyahoga Arts & Culture is the public funder of arts and culture organizations, programs and events in Cuyahoga County. Cuyahoga Arts & Culture’s sole funding source is a dedicated cigarette tax levied within Cuyahoga County. Established by voters in 2007, CAC has awarded over 1,200 grants since then, distributing over $125 million in tax dollars to more than 300 organizations based in the County. Cuyahoga Arts & Culture’s sole funding source is a dedicated tax within Cuyahoga County. Renewal of this funding source will be on the ballot on November 3 for voters to consider.

Proofreading Reviews Before Publishing
by Lenne via NEohioPAL 21 Sep '15

21 Sep '15

Actors get reviewed. They get praised. They get panned. It's part of the business. What shouldn't happen is reviews being published with information completely unrelated to what actually happened. I sent an e-mail to Roy Berko yesterday noting there were some big errors in his Spitfire Grill review, but it is still being circulated with inaccurate information. Mr. Berko wrote, "(Neely Gevaart) did a nice job with the cute "Shoot the Moon" and the pensive "Way Back Home." Both those songs are sung by a different character entirely. Neely, who plays Percy, sings "Ring Around the Moon" and "Shine." In my opinion, she does a LOT better than a "nice job," and perhaps Mr. Berko thinks so to;, but we'll never know because his review of Neely's performance got lost in sloppy proof reading.
