It's time to put your architecture skills to the test against an earthquake! This Saturday at 1PM, The Children's Museum of Cleveland will meet you in the TCT lobby to help you make your sturdy structure out of unexpectedly simple materials and test them against one of the most delicious earthquakes to have quaked. Then, stay to see the current Talespinner production, "The Crocodile, The Cobra, and the Girl Down the Well." In India, where our latest tale takes place, there are many earthquakes each year. We want to see if you have what it takes to be an architect that can withstand the challenge! This workshop is free with the price of admission to the show. ---------- And if you can't make it Saturday, bring dad and the whole family to see the 2PM show Sunday for Father's Day! Then, consider heading down the street to Superelectric Pinball Parlor or Sweet Moses for some fun and ice cream. YUM.

FREE Outdoor Theater - Shakespeare's KING RICHARD II opens Friday!
by Cleveland Shakespeare Festival via NEohioPAL 15 Jun '16

15 Jun '16

*CLEVELAND SHAKESPEARE FESTIVAL* *presents * *KING RICHARD THE SECOND* June 17-July 3 Various outdoor venues Adapted and Directed by Doug Farren *“…For within the hollow crown* *That rounds the mortal temples of a king* *Keeps Death his court…”* Believing himself anointed by God and infallible, the narcissistic King Richard over-taxes the populace and issues decrees by caprice. Richard exiles Henry Bolingbroke to settle a dispute, then seizes his father’s estate to fund a foreign war. While Richard’s army fights in Ireland, Bolingbroke mounts a populist rebellion at home to regain what’s rightfully his, planting the seeds for the War of the Roses that would erupt decades later. Classified as a history, but with the soaring poetry and humanizing fall associated with tragedy, *King Richard II* is an under-appreciated gem in the Bard’s canon. Perfect for this election season, it examines the nature of leadership, power and identity. Who is Richard when he is no longer King? *TOUR DATES* Friday, June 17: PEACE Park, Coventry Neighborhood, Cleveland Heights Saturday, June 18: Tri-C West Campus, Parma Heights Sunday, June 19: Penitentiary Glen Nature Center, Kirtland Friday, June 24: Community Colonnade, Shaker Heights Saturday, June 25: Lakewood Park, Lakewood Sunday, June 26: Stocker Arts Center, Lorain County Community College, Elyria Friday, July 1: Notre Dame College, South Euclid Saturday, July 2: James A. Garfield Historic Site, Mentor Sunday, July 3: Lincoln Park, Cleveland All performances begin at 7pm and are presented FREE OF CHARGE Bring a blanket or low-slung chair. In case of inclement weather, alternate indoor venues are available. Check www.cleveshakes.org on the day of show for news on alternate locations. Cast: Aaron Switalski, Allen Branstein, Caitlin Hathaway, Derek Green, James Rankin, Jonathan McCleery, Keith Kornajcik, Lainne Davis, Leilani Barrett, Leonard Goff, Michael Johnson, Robert Hawkes, Rodger Govea, Ryan Stafford, Travis Reilly, Zachary Olivos FOR MORE INFORMATION, VISIT www.cleveshakes.org

Karamu House Presents "The Colored Museum" June 20th - 7:00 pm - at The Cleveland Museum of Art. $25.00. ( Clevelandart.org )
by DALE SHIELDS via NEohioPAL 15 Jun '16

15 Jun '16

PROJECT1voice The Colored Museum premiered at the Crossroads Theater Company of New Jersey on March 26, 1986. Within six months of its premier the play found a new home at the Public Theater in New York City. The Colored Museum— told through a series of 11 exhibits—explores the journey of self-identification, which shows both African American history and the impact of African culture within America. Satire and dark comedy are used to expose the audience to a different look into the identity crisis that people of African descent struggle with. The Colored Museum was later performed at the Royal Court Theater in London, England, beginning July 29, 1987. It has now been produced in cities around the world. In his review of the original 1986 off-Broadway production of The Colored Museum, New York Times theatre critic Frank Rich stated the play’s central question — “How do American Black men and women at once honor and escape the legacy of suffering that is the baggage of their past?” Playwright George C. Wolfe faced this loaded question head-on in his play, embracing its paradoxical nature by creating a work of dramatic art he described as part “exorcism,” part “party,” and wholly satirical. Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary defines satire as “a literary work holding up human vices and follies to ridicule or scorn” and “trenchant wit, irony, or sarcasm meant to expose and discredit vice or folly.” The purpose of satire is to entertain while simultaneously raising awareness by asking oft-ignored questions, presenting stereotypes for examination, and revealing truth and hypocrisy by dabbling in extremes. In The Colored Museum, Wolfe juxtaposes facets of African-American cultural history, both politically correct and not, which results in a biting comedic exploration of what it means to be Black in America. GEORGE C. WOLF A two-time Tony Award winner, George C. Wolfe is a rare theatrical polymath; he has dominated the fields of playwriting, directing, and theatrical producing. The Colored Museum is his earliest success, premiering in 1986 at the Crossroads Theatre in New Brunswick, New Jersey before going on to play New York, London, and across the nation on PBS. On the surface, The Colored Museum is a collection of 11 hilarious and biting theatrical “exhibits” of African- American life, stretching from slavery to the present. A young woman’s natural and relaxed wigs argue over who she should wear when she tells off her boyfriend. A stewardess on the Celebrity Slaveship tells her passengers to fasten their shackles. While the play is considered a forerunner of African-American sketch-form comedy — for many critics, without The Colored Museum, there would have been no “In Living Color,” “Dave Chapelle Show” or “Key and Peele” — for Wolfe the comedy is the vehicle, not the message.
