Review of "Well" at Ensemble Theatre
by Bob Abelman 05 Oct '17

05 Oct '17

Ensemble offers infectiously endearing ‘Well’ Bob Abelman Cleveland Jewish News, The News Herald, The Morning Journal Member, International Association of Theatre Critics Lisa Kron is a writer of memory plays that dramatize stories from her life (“101 Humiliating Stories,” “2.5 Minute Ride”) or the lives of others (“Fun Home”) that tend to fall between straight theater and quirky performance art. They also tend to be charming, thought-provoking and intimate affairs, and her 2004 one-act comedy “Well” – currently on stage at Ensemble Theatre – is no exception.

(Prof): Mattresses that last longer... Designed with Better Material… Inner Springs with Better Support… I got it!!! Come with me!!! (Prof): Now, on top of the box spring sits the mattress itself— (Prof): Inside our Orthopedic mattresses are super supportive springs to actively support you. We use heavy gauge coils in our mattresses, which provide nearly twice as much support as other brands! (Prof): Now, imagine these dense, spherical objects are the weight of your body. With this simple test, we will show you how the innerspring system work as a network to support you. (Prof) (VO): This works because our innerspring is built with coils that extend across the entire mattress, giving you full end-to-end and side-to-side support. And if you could look at our mattress and the other brands. You’d see that they eliminate coils and replace them with low-density foam rails. (Prof): I know you’re thinking, “How do you pack ALL of this VALUE together for a lot lower price than the competition?” (Prof): It’s by selling directly to YOU our customer.

With the help of a hunchbacked sidekick, Igor (pronounced "EYE-gore"), and a leggy lab assistant named Inga (pronounced normally!), Frederick finds himself in the mad scientist shoes of his ancestors. "It's alive!" he exclaims as he brings to life a creature to rival his grandfather's. Eventually, of course, the monster escapes and hilarity continuously abounds.

Be sure to include your name, email address, phone number and preferred audition date in your email. No phone calls please. About The Lead Creator... Darius Stubbs is a poet, playwright, performer, vocalist, educator and transgender advocate who has been living and working in Cleveland, OH since 2006. Artistically, he has collaborated with many fine creative thinkers across the city. Selected acting credits include Rusted Heart Broadcast (CatManDu, Cleveland Public Theatre '13), Titus Andronicus (Aaron the Moor, Cleveland Shakespeare Festival '10), Comedy of Errors (Sir Balthazar, Great Lakes Theatre '09) and The Boys Next Door (Lucien P. Smith, Medina Showbiz '07). His artistic home-base continues to be among the artists who work under the visionary guidance of Raymond Bobgan. At CPT, Darius has been involved in the creation of over a dozen original performance pieces spanning the genre spectrum from performance art to fully-staged production. For the last 3 years, Darius has been a member of the Cleveland Core Ensemble and played the lead role in their original play, Red Ash Mosaic, directed by Raymond Bobgan. Darius has also lent his talents as an instructor for CPT's education programs, including the Student Theatre Enrichment Program (STEP), a summer theatre intensive for Cleveland teens; the Y-Haven Theatre Project, assisting previously homeless men in recovery from chemical dependency to express themselves through performance; and Brick City Theatre, a summer and afterschool theatre performance program for children living in CMHA housing. As an advocate for Transgender Clevelanders, Darius actively seeks to lend his voice to the chorus of others in the city who are fighting to make sure that the "T" in LGBT does not remain a silent one. Darius has been a featured speaker in an array of venues and events, including TedXCle 2015 "Untold" series, City Club of Cleveland's Forum on Transgender Identity in Northeast Ohio, CPT's Station Hope and Guide to Kulchur's "Uncanny Voices" series.

In July of 2016, Darius was awarded the Greater Cleveland Community Shares' Rising Activist Award. Most recently, he was fortunate enough to have his poem "If It Takes a Village" published by GTK Press in A Race Anthology: Dispatches and Artifacts From A Segregated City.
