Review of "If/Then" national tour at Playhouse Square
by Bob Abelman via NEohioPAL 12 Feb '16

12 Feb '16

There’s much to love in touring ‘If/Then,’ but not enough Bob Abelman Cleveland Jewish News, The News Herald, The Morning Journal Member, International Association of Theatre Critics The 2014 Broadway musical “If/Then,” now on tour and on stage at Playhouse Square, revolves around newly divorced 38-year-old Elizabeth, an urban planner living in Phoenix who moves to New York City for a fresh start. The play opens with Elizabeth (Jackie Burns) meeting up with new friends Kate (Tamyra Gray) and her girlfriend Anne (Janine DiVita), who insist that she go by the free-wheeling "Liz" as a sign of her new attitude and openness to new experiences. She also runs into her old boyfriend Lucas (Anthony Rapp), a social activist, who recalls her drive and passion and suggests that she go back to her no-nonsense college nickname, "Beth," and start making professional connections in the city. When she meets the thoroughly likable Josh (Matthew Hydzik), Elizabeth has an important life-altering decision to make: carouse as Liz or build a career as Beth. Not an easy choice for a woman who has a tendency to make all the wrong choices and then second-guess herself by wondering “what if?” There is much to love in this musical. But you will surely find yourself second-guessing some of its production choices and, like Elizabeth, wondering “what if” throughout its performance.

12 Feb '16

WOMEN ON FIRE: A Benefit for Mamai Theatre Company Mamai Theatre Company announces its 2016 Benefit: WOMEN ON FIRE, Monday, March 7, 2016 at 7:00 pm at the Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage <http://www.maltzmuseum.org/>, 2929 Richmond Rd, Beachwood, OH 44122. The evening begins with a wine selection, hors d’oeuvres by Dante <http://dante.danteboccuzzi.com/> and other Cleveland foodie favorites; admission to the Maltz Museum <http://www.maltzmuseum.org/> galleries; a silent auction featuring items from Cleveland’s local, independent, small business and arts organizations including Actors Summit Theate <http://www.actorssummit.org/>r, Apollo’s Fire <http://apollosfire.org/>, Belt Publishing <http://beltmag.com/>, The Cleveland Museum of Art <http://www.clevelandart.org/>, Cowell & Hubbard <http://cowellhubbard.com/>, Hyde Park <http://www.hydeparkrestaurants.com/>, On the Rise <http://ontheriseartisanbreads.com/>, Quintana’s Barber & Dream Spa <http://www.qbds.net/>, The Stone Oven <http://www.stone-oven.com/>, Salon 180 <http://www.salon180.com/> and others. This exciting evening concludes with a rarely performed staged reading of WOMEN ON FIRE by Irene O’Garden <https://ireneogarden.com/>, directed by Cleveland playwright, actor, and director, Juliette Regnier, and featuring Ursula Cataan*, Maryann Elder, Katrice Head, Julia Kolibab*, Tracee Patterson*, and Jeanne Task (*Member Actors Equity Association). Director Juliette Regnier says O’Garden’s women are “uniquely drawn characters with passion and guts whom you have never met before but you will get to know, fueled by the passion and guts of some of our Cleveland actresses .” The New York Times called Women on Fire "bewitching ... astounding ... heartbreaking." From ad exec to Midwest mom to caregiver to construction worker, each character is on fire in her own way - with passion, fear, self-discovery, even shopping! O’Garden’s work explores the breadth of women's issues with humor and wisdom. Seating is limited to 50 patrons only and tickets may be purchased at mamaitheatreco.org <http://www.mamaitheatreco.org/> or by phoning 440.394.8353. 2016 Season Tickets Now On Sale Tickets are on sale now for Mamai’s 2016 Summer Season of classical theatre in Cleveland! Mamai is thrilled to return downtown to The Cleveland Masonic Performing Arts Center <http://www.paccleveland.com/>, 3615 Euclid Avenue at E. 36th Street, with free and ample parking in an onsite gated lot, air-conditioning, and ADA-accessibility. Mamai will mount all three of its 2016 productions on the beautiful 1920s proscenium stage inside the DeMolay Room. Top Girls By Caryl Churchill Directed by Jaime Bouvier June 2-19, 2016 Top Girls transgresses ancient to modern femininity in two distinct acts. Act One features an imagined restaurant table full of ladies who lunch... in a time-traveling dialogue from various centuries and cultures in womankind's history! Act Two is a springboard departure into family drama-- a personal examination of relationships between mother, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend. Lady Windermere's Fan By Oscar Wilde Directed Bernadette Clemens July 14-31, 2016 Oscar Wilde fans the flames of Edwardian social change with his typical adroitness. Comedy and manners offer a tongue-lashing, suspenseful assault on Victorian values. An attractive stranger invades the domestic bliss of Lady & Lord Windermere, and her past has the potential to drastically alter their future. Lord Darlington plays a hand. All bets hinge on chance, fate, accident... and a fan. The Woman Hater - U.S. Premiere! By Fanny Burney Directed Christine McBurney August 18-September 4, 2016 An absurdly satirical indictment of the excesses of both men and women, this 1802 comedy remained unproduced until 2003. When Sir Roderick is jilted by Lady Smatter, he proclaims himself a woman-hater and is determined to keep his young heir away from the opposite sex. Identities are mistaken, social pretensions are deliciously exposed, and the gender constructs of wifely and daughterly duties are boldly upended — bringing forth a new kind of heroine. You can sponsor <http://www.mamaitheatreco.org/#!tickets/cvvh>, join our mailing list <http://www.mamaitheatreco.org/#!tickets/cvvh> or purchase tickets <http://www.mamaitheatreco.org/#!tickets-2016/c13ai> online!

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
