11 May '16

EDWARD ALBEES THREE TALL WOMEN OPENS NEXT FRI, MAY 20 AT CONVERGENCE-CONTINUUM A MODERN AMERICAN MASTERWORK! convergence-continuum continues its 2016 Season with Edward Albees THREE TALL WOMEN. Our modern American classic for this season earned a Pulitzer and three Best Play awards for 1994. Edward Albee has, in THREE TALL WOMEN, created a masterwork which follows a feisty 92-year-old womans reflections on her family, now departed or estranged, and how it has shaped her life - a life filled with a mixture of shame, pleasure, regret, and satisfaction. The three women are 92, 52 and 26 years old. At one point they are three different women, but eventually they seem to merge into the same women at three different stages of her long and turbulent life. THREE TALL WOMEN is directed by Tom Kondilas, and features Lucy Bredeson-Smith, Teresa McDonough and Sarah Kunchik. THREE TALL WOMEN opens Fri, May 20 and runs Thurs-Sat at 8 pm through June 11 at the Liminis Theater, 2438 Scranton Rd, Cleveland 44113 in the historic Tremont neighborhood. Tickets are $15 general admission, $12 seniors (65+), $10 students. Reservations at http://convergence-continuum.org and 216-687-0074. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This production is supported in part by the residents of Cuyahoga County through a public grant from Cuyahoga Arts & Culture, and by the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation.

Gilda Shedstecker Presents! is casting Our Son's Wedding
by Doug Tennant via NEohioPAL 11 May '16

11 May '16

Gilda is seeking 2 actors in the 25-30ish range for the parts of son Michael and his fiancé David in our June production of OUR SON'S WEDDING by Donna de Matteo. Excellent script for a great comedy and tie-in to Pride! Interested actors please email director Doug Tennant dougtennant(a)gmail.com and mention OUR SON'S WEDDING in the subject. Performance dates are June 17, 18, 24, 25 at The Kathleen Howland Theatre in downtown Canton. Rehearsal schedule is constructed as much as possible around cast conflicts. The show: "Just tell me, Mary, are we the parents of the groom or the parents of the bride?" Mary and Angelo Lo Presto are about to escort their son down the aisle. Like fathers throughout the centuries, Angelo isn’t thrilled about his son’s romantic choice — but there’s a 2016 twist. Their son's wedding to another man is the incendiary device that blows the door off the closet of Mary and Angelo's own marriage, revealing old skeletons and buried assignations that rattle their Italian-American roots! Every parent wants their child to find happiness. Every person on the face of the planet wants to find love. The challenges faced by parents and children are universal, and sometimes understanding is the best gift you can give.
