Top Girls By Caryl Churchill Directed by Jaime Bouvier June 2-19, 2016 Scenic Design by Don McBride Costume Design by Suzy Campbell Lighting Design by Rob Peck Sound Design by Carlton Guc Properties Design by Monica Plunkett 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. Talkback facilitated by two Shaker Heights High School International Baccalaureate English Faculty, Chris Coton and Chuck Kelly on Sunday, June 12. Lady Windermere's Fan By Oscar Wilde Directed Bernadette Clemens July 14-31, 2016 Scenic Design by Don McBride Costume Design by Suzy Campbell Lighting Design by Rob Peck Sound Design by Carlton Guc Properties Design by Monica Plunkett 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 Scenic Design by Don McBride Costume Design by Angelina Herin Lighting Design by Rob Peck Sound Design by Richard Ingraham Properties Design by Monica Plunkett 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.

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 <mamaitheatrecocleveland(a)gmail.com> ###

Chapatti - Actors' Summit: A Gentle and Charming Evening
by Stephen via NEohioPAL 29 Feb '16

29 Feb '16

Romance is a distant memory for two lonely animal-lovers living in Dublin. When forlorn Dan (Neil Thackaberry) and his dog Chapatti cross paths with amiable Betty (Anne McEvoy) and her nineteen cats, an unexpected spark begins a warm and gentle story about two people re-discovering the importance of human companionship.These two actors are a delight to watch, and their stories are told in an unusual way, with Dan and Betty, working-class, uncomplicated Irish folk, speaking in alternating monologues directly addressing the audience, Most importantly, Christian O'Reilly's script raises a very important issue that many need to be made continually aware of: the loneliness and seclusion many older people experience. Talk-backs about this subject are scheduled after selected performances. However, in addition to the excellent performances, the unexpected treat of the evening is director Brian Zoldessy's directorial approach to the play. Not only has he drawn fine work from these accomplished actors, but his revisionist approach is a poet's conception. In place of unit set and props, this Chapatti uses minimal sets and no props. Think "Our Town". The actors wonderfully pantomime actions such as preparing breakfast, walking dogs, and playing with kittens. It's beautifully creative, and artfully simple. Coupled with very moving music, which gently underscores each scene, and Kevin Rutan's lighting design, which sets the appropriate mood, Chapatti is unforgettably warm and effective. Chapatti is being presented by Actors' Summit and runs through March 13. For information and reservations, call 330-374-7568.
