WUAL: A ‘Heretik Eklektik’s Approach to Master the Art of Empowering Girls and Women
by sue holland johnson via NEohioPAL 03 Jul '16

03 Jul '16

Want to wake up and live to be your best and highest “new thought” self in 2016? Join us in a life-changing conversation to challenge, explore & even begin, to replace your traditional religious, political, philosophical (ageism, sexism, and classism) notions.. Go to Facebook: Wake Up And Live's Actors' Studio for complete commentary. I’ve watched several church services, with congregations in the hundreds, maybe thousands. I’m having trouble understanding how these folks suck up the historical misinformation, especially about the world being founded as a paternalistic society being passed along, and still in existence all these several thousand years. So, I’d like to begin to help girls and women. Maybe it’s not too late for us to help change the world, change history. Look at what’s being addressed in churches, politics & society in general. Stuff that’s being, has been, perpetuated since the beginning of time. Stuff that has had negative impact on women being equal to men, equal as fist class people, being empowered to be the best they can be, to their fullest extent. What: A session to begin strategizing, planning how we can come together to help empower girls and women for now and the future. An in-depth, enlightened conversation which explores the inconsistencies, hypocrises, oxymorons, & out-dated notions, perpetuated over the centuries,(again, primarily by men). When: Sat. 7/23/16 2:00 – 4:30 P Where: Shaker HeightsRegistration: $18. (Cash, check, Money Order, credit card, PayPal.) For information, location, or to register: wakeupandlives(a)gmail.com Seating limited. Advance registration by Tues. 7/19/16.Private personal development coaching sessions also by appointment Sue Johnson is actor, director, producer, playwright, author, life coach and motivational speaker.“Wake up and live to be your best and highest self in 2016.” For those of you who consider yourselves enlightened beings, or are working on traveling your life’s journey on a higher level.

Review of "A Woman of No Importance" at the Shaw Festival
by Bob Abelman via NEohioPAL 03 Jul '16

03 Jul '16

Shaw Festival’s ‘A Woman of No Importance’ undermined by its updating Bob Abelman Cleveland Jewish News, The News Herald, The Morning Journal Member, International Association of Theatre Critics No, Oscar Wilde’s “A Woman of No Importance” is not the best of the four society comedies he wrote between 1891 and 1895. It’s been said that while “Lady Windermere’s Fan,” “An Ideal Husband” and “The Importance of Being Earnest” swim in melodrama, this one fails to come up for air. And while Wilde's plays typically offer a handful of likable characters, this one has none and everyone’s lines are lessons on conventional Victorian morality. But no play better chronicles the pleasure of belonging to the best of high society and the pain of being cast from it, which evocatively reflects the public shaming Wilde was experiencing while this play was in performance at London’s West End. Being found guilty of subversiveness and sodomy destroyed Wilde’s career – a career that too quickly went from poetry to prose to prison – and, ultimately, destroyed the playwright himself. But not before he penned this portrait of the shame of an unwed mother desperately trying to conceal the truth from her son and an unforgiving society.
