EVENT: Last Weekend for Dover Players' Unique New Drama - Branches!
by Mark Little via NEohioPAL 22 Aug '16

22 Aug '16

EVENT: Last Weekend for Dover Players' Unique New Drama - Branches! Reviews and Comments Dover Players' original drama, Branches, is an intriguing combination of Our Town and The Twilight Zone. Protagonist, John Ryan, in a dreamlike state, revisits points in his life, branches, where he had faced options and finds himself trapped by a Twilight Zone-like twist. The play stars Jim Hagan, fresh off his role as Felix Ungar of The Odd Couple at True North, as John, a conflicted middle-aged man who has just had a one-night stand and who cannot bring himself to confess to his wife. Dr. Marvin Schwartz, the psychiatrist who leads John through the Branches of his past, is played by Michael Attali, a relative newcomer to the stage, who skillfully has the audience teetering between believing him to be a true friend to John or believing him to be the devil himself. Susan M. Wagner, who moved audiences with her tough and tender portrayal of a prostitute in the musical, A Fresh Start at the Sunrise Laudromat, gave life to Ellen, the wife of John, communicating her emotions as the hurt, but loving wife. Lisa Randt delivers in multiple roles; sexy teen coquette, Crystal and the alluring Carol, the downfall of John. The supporting cast does more than merely support. Mary Manos Mitchem, as Miss Coulter, skillfully shifts from cold public servant to loving and caring friend. Bob Kenderes portrays John's brother in alternate realities as a down and out drunk or as a confident successful businessman. Marilyn Ransom, tugs at the heartstrings in playing the mother of John and Michael Airhart brings comic relief as Fred and an oafish foreboding presence as the bully, Brad. Even playwright and director, Gregory J. Lavelle (Jake's Dilemma) pops on stage for a brief cameo as Grant, of all things, a theater director. Background music of the 60's, 70's and 80's weaves throughout the play, setting the tone for the scenes. What makes Branches unique is the fact that the audience determines the outcome. >From Dover Players' Guest - Colleen Crowley: LOVED the show!! Definitely a "twist" from the usual at Dover, LOL. Loved how the twist left it up to the audience!! A definite "must see"! >From Dover Players Volunteer - Mark Little: Dover Players is performing a very interesting play, written and directed, by our very own local playwright and actor (Doctor Watson from our Sherlock Holmes series), Greg Lavelle. It's a purely unique human drama. Be the first in your neighborhood to see it! >From Dover Players' Guest - Robert Thomas: "If you are in northeast Ohio, I encourage you to check out the Dover Players Community Theater group and their latest play, "Branches" - An original play written and directed by Greg Lavelle. A story with so many interesting twists and turns and lots of layers to unravel. The audience gets to decide the fate of the main character, John Ryan, and there are 4 possible endings to the story! Very Well Done! - Actions have consequences. And sometimes reality is not what it seems. Check these guys out." This is an amazing play and the cast was just incredible! Well worth coming out and spending an evening at the North Olmsted Old Town Hall. Dover Players' original drama, Branches, is an intriguing combination of Our Town and The Twilight Zone. Protagonist, John Ryan, in a dreamlike state, revisits points in his life, branches, where he had faced options and finds himself trapped by a Twilight Zone-like twist.
