Review of "Kinky Boots" national tour at Playhouse Square
by Bob Abelman via NEohioPAL 24 Aug '16

24 Aug '16

The other shoe drops as touring ‘Kinky Boots’ triumphantly returns Bob Abelman Cleveland Jewish News, The News Herald, The Morning Journal Member, International Association of Theatre Critics The national tour of “Kinky Boots” has strutted back to Cleveland for a limited engagement after its near sell-out stay just over a year ago. The tour seems to be crossing the country with nothing but abbreviated stops in assorted cities, a sign that it is picking up dates as it is phases out of its two-year run. With all this short-term travel comes the possibility that performers may be phoning in performances that lack stamina, enthusiasm and attention span. Not to worry. This production is spectacular and the performers are as vested as they are remarkably talented. For more of this review, go to www.clevelandjewishnews.com/columnists/.

Praise for OBJECTIVELY/REASONABLE
by Playwrights Local via NEohioPAL 24 Aug '16

24 Aug '16

The reviews are in for Playwrights Local’s new work, “Objectively/Reasonable: A Community Response to the Shooting of Tamir Rice, 11/22/14.” Directed by Terrence Spivey, this documentary play addresses the impact and aftermath of the Tamir Rice shooting, expressing unheard voices from the Cudell neighborhood and Greater Cleveland. Created by an ensemble of playwrights, “Objectively/Reasonable” is a collage of original monologues based on interviews with legal experts, social critics, and everyday people. "A 90-minute work that is electric, probing and uncomfortably raw...deeply moving...It discusses and dissects and sets the notion of 'a post-racial society' on fire. This is a play that needs to be seen." — *The Plain Dealer <http://www.cleveland.com/onstage/index.ssf/2016/08/what_samaria_saw_tamir_r…>* "This is a work that should travel to theaters all over the country; it needs to be seen and heard by everyone who sincerely wants police brutality to cease in America...A catharsis." — *Cool Cleveland <http://coolcleveland.com/2016/08/mansfield-objectivelyreasonable-a-communit…>* “A must-see experience for anyone interested in the real world around them.” — *Broadway World <http://www.broadwayworld.com/cleveland/article/BWW-Review-0BJECTIVELYREASON…>* "The window that has opened for all to view the inequity of law enforcement activity in the less advantaged Cleveland neighborhoods. It is a show that begs to be seen by police officers and citizens alike." — *Talkin' Broadway <http://www.talkinbroadway.com/page/regional/cleveland/cleve122.html>* Find our event page at: http://playwrightslocal.org/objectively-reasonable/ Or get tickets at: http://playwrightslocal.org/objectively-reasonable-tickets/ Playwrights contributing to this project include Mike Geither, Tom Hayes, Lisa Langford, Michael Oatman, and David Todd. Conception and dramaturgy for the play is by David Todd. The cast includes Ashley Aquilla, Kaila Benford, India Burton, Samone Cummings, Ananias Dixon, Kali Hatten, JamekaTerri, Lashawn Little, Brenton Lyles, and Nathan Tolliver. “Objectively/Reasonable” runs August 18 through September 4, with shows Thursday through Saturday at 7:30 pm & Sunday at 2:30 pm.

Playwrights Local presents its second workshop with Literary Cleveland! Registration is open for this four-session course beginning Thursday, September 8th, at Waterloo Arts in North Collinwood. This hands-on workshop will be led by Playwrights Local’s Director in Residence Dale Heinen, who’s previously taught playwriting at universities and theaters in London and Brazil.

In addition, Dale’s teaching is informed by extensive experience as a director in Chicago, Cleveland, New York, London and Glasgow. Entitled “Finding the Spark,” this workshop is equally appropriate for those who have written a play and for those new to playwriting. Each week will delve into a different element of the craft: language, theatricality, character, and story. Every session will give you the chance to produce new work through in-class writing prompts, and offer you opportunities to receive feedback on new or old work. By the end of the four-session workshop, you will have gained a wide range of entry points for generating a play, enhanced your craft, and attained a clearer view of the theatrical and personal points of view that inform your work as a playwright. Thursdays, 9/8, 9/15, 9/22 and 9/29, 7-9pm Waterloo Arts, 15605 Waterloo Rd., Cleveland Registration is $65 ($50 for Lit Cleveland members).
