Theatre 8:15 is so excited to share this production with everyone! It has been an honor to work with Angela Miloro-Hansen, Chris Cipriani, Kelly Miloro & The Star on My Heart project https://m.facebook.com/thestaronmyheart/ and bring them to our area! What a wonderful team! You don't want to miss this production! "The Star on My Heart" Friday, March 11 & Saturday, March 12 @ 8:15pm Tickets $10.00 adults - $5.00 Students / Children The Star on My Heart is an original play based on Holocaust survivor Inge Auerbacher's memoirs, adapted and directed by Angela Miloro-Hansen. In 2013 Angela won OCTA awards for a show she directed at Geauga Lyric Theater called I Never Saw Another Butterfly, by Celeste Raspanti. It told the story of the children imprisoned in the Theresienstadt (Terezin) concentration camp near Prague. Of fifteen thousand children who passed through Terezin, it is believed that approximately one hundred survived. Then GLTG Executive director Chris Cipriani made contact with one of these child survivors, Inge Auerbacher. Inge inspired the cast with a telephone conversation on opening night and a relationship with Dr. Auerbacher evolved. Inge expressed a desire to have her story staged, and Angela Miloro-Hansen was asked to author the script. Writer/Director Miloro-Hansen has been active in theater since 1999, and is a 2010 Hiram College graduate. She directs, teaches and acts on a regular basis and serves as the Educational Outreach Coordinator for Geauga Lyric Theater in Chardon, Ohio. Chris Cipriani, now Director of Programming at Shore Cultural Centre in Euclid, is serving as the project and educational outreach coordinator. After two years of collaboration, The Star on My Heart premiered in November 2015. It tells of Inge's experiences during the war in Terezin, and her survival and recovery in New York City, where she still lives today. After liberation, Inge came to America and spent two years in a tuberculosis hospital. She began high school with only one year of schooling under her belt, and graduated in three years. Inge worked as a chemist for 38 years. She now travels and speaks on the topics of tolerance, the Holocaust and human rights.

Rave Reviews for CHAPATTI...tickets on sale now
by MaryJo Alexander via NEohioPAL 02 Mar '16

Raves excerpted Bob Abelman and Mark Horning's early reviews...*Actors’ Summit’s production of ‘Chapatti’ is a study in mixed emotions* By: Mark Horning <https://www.axs.com/contributor/mark-horning-axs-contributor-1202> AXS Contributor Feb 26, 2016 5 days ago 1529226482786165417616y2016m02d26 [image: (l-r) Director Brian Zoldessy, Neil Thackaberry as Ben and Annie McEvoy as Betty] (l-r) Director Brian Zoldessy, Neil Thackaberry as Ben and Annie McEvoy as Betty Actors’ Summit Theater (Used With Their Permission) Actors’ Summit <http://www.actorssummit.org/>’s production of Chapatti, by Christian O’Reilly <http://www.irishplayography.com/person.aspx?personid=2947> is a study of contrasts. Dan lives a life of darkness. His small rented bungalow is dark with heavy curtains drawn much like he has covered his soul from the small joys that dance just outside his existence. His only companion and “speak-mate” is a small mongrel terrier named Chapatti that he found as a stray when doing the last of his construction work in London and fed him part of his Indian cuisine lunch, thus the name for the dog and the play. “Chap,” as Dan calls him, is the only thing keeping the sad retiree from making his “final journey.” When more or less bum rushed from the vet’s office after Chap is found “well enough for his age,” Dan decides to end it all. It was at the vet that Dan could interact with other pet owners and keep his connection with humanity. ....The other part of this complicated equation is Betty. She is around Dan’s age and widowed from a loveless marriage. In spite of that (and the nineteen cats plus a fresh box of kittens) Betty is a life of mirth and light. She spends her days caring for an elderly woman, Peggy, who owns a sixteen year old cat, Prudence. Between the Betty and Prudence they are the only reason the old woman gets out of bed each day. The two love starved souls (Dan and Betty) meet by accident when Dan plows into Betty while leaving the Vet’s Office for the last time causing Betty to drop a box of kittens. He is drawn by her lovely laugh and sparkling demeanor. They meet again when Dan involuntarily gets involved in finding the owner of a dead cat.... ....Neil Thackaberry* plays Dan with aplomb. He keeps the accent under control so that it does not become a distraction. He successfully navigates the choppy waters of a sad man who suddenly rediscovers glimpse of happiness. Anne McEvoy as Betty delights as the Yang side of the production to Dan’s Ying. Her laugh is infectious as are her mannerisms. The two work well together as they discover each other over the course of the play. The set consists of two chairs, a small table, a clothes rack with small table and a rolling tea cart. The rest of the “props” (including the kittens and dog) are conjured up for our imaginations to see. Shooting From The Lip (An Opinion):... charming at its core and extremely well acted...... It is the happy/sad play that will have you thinking about a lot of issues. “Chapatti” will be on stage at Actors’ Summit from Feb. 26 through March 13, 2016. Show Days and Times are Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. Actors’ Summit serves up simple, charming ‘Chapatti’ - REVIEWED BY BOB ABELMAN babelman(a)cjn.org Place two chairs on a stage and put Anne McEvoy and Neil Thackaberry in them and great theater is likely to result. And it does in Actors’ Summit’s production of “Chapatti,” a new play by Irish playwright Christian O’Reilly. This one-act two-hander has all the elements for which this theater and its audience have a particular fondness: Romance, good writing, simple production values, and the founding artistic director walking the boards...... The play examines the evolution of a November romance between two very lonely, very likable people who happen to live just around the block from one another. Dan, whose beloved mutt lends his name to the title of this play......... Betty, a self-confessed cat lady, lived through a loveless marriage and has given up hope of ever loving or being loved by anything on two legs. The writing is simple, charming ..........but its presentation is deceptively and enjoyably sophisticated. While the two neighbors are strangers, they speak in direct-address to the audience and narrate their sorry, unassuming lives. This turns into self-reflective monologues when the two discover each other and then evolves into witty dialogue once they connect and a relationship takes hold. The stage is bare save for two chairs and a coat rack between them that is used alternately by Dan and Betty in their respective working-class homes in Dublin. The simple set is surrounded by blackness which, while uninspiring artistically, serves to focus all our attention on the two actors and their heartfelt and empathetic performances. Mcevoy’s Betty is a warm and sensitive soul, and ..Thackaberry... brilliant handling of the more emotional moments in the play.........Director Brian Zoldessy does well to stay out of the way of these seasoned performers while making sure that their talents and those of the playwright are front and center. -- *MaryJo Alexander* *Artistic Director* *Actors' Summit Theater* *Greystone Hall---6th floor* *103 S.
