FINAL WEEKEND: THREE TALL WOMEN BY EDWARD ALBEE AT CONVERGENCE-CONTINUUM This weekend will be your last chance to catch Albees funny, touching and thought-provoking masterwork now at convergence-continuum, featuring stunning performances by Lucy Bredeson-Smith, Teresa McDonough and Sarah Kunchik. THREE TALL WOMEN 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 pleasure, scandal, shame, regret, and satisfaction. The three women are 92, 52 and 26 years old. At one point they are three different women, but eventually they fascinatingly merge into the same women at three different phases of her long and turbulent life. THREE TALL WOMEN has its final performances this Thurs-Sat at 8 pm 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.

"Backstage" opens Friday at Theatre 8:15 in Green OH
by Dawna Kornick via NEohioPAL 08 Jun '16

08 Jun '16

"Backstage" by Pat Cook Directed by Kati Miller Friday, June 10th and Saturday, June 11th @ 8:15 pm Synopsis: We all know that the real drama in a theatre takes place backstage and creates quite a comedy to watch! This has never been more true than at Theatre Baroque, where the star, one-time matinee idol Burton Cavendish, suddenly dies an hour before the premiere of "Don Juan in Cleveland." Once it is discovered that Cavendish has passed away, Lou, the director, calls on Ajax, the understudy, to fill in. But Ajax must play Cavendish both on and off stage, and he can't tell anyone - not even his own mother! It is to be the great star's last performance... and Ajax's greatest performance ever. He reluctantly agrees, only to face nasty critics, doting mothers and one very large goon sent to collect a bundle from the great actor. Ajax even has to fool his own mother, who shows up backstage to say hello to Ajax and meet the famous Cavendish! (Little does she know she achieves both of those goals at one time!) Lines and plot twists fly as fast as you'll sell tickets in this theatrical farce where over-the-hill prima donnas reign - or think they do - and most of the rest of the cast is betting on who comes out on top. For reservations call (330) 896-0339 or email info(a)theatre815.com Theatre 8:15 4710 Massillon Road (Rt. 241) Green, OH 44232 (330) 896-0339 www.theatre815.com
