Western Reserve Playhouse presents "It Runs in the Family" by Ray Cooney Directed by Jim Volkert June 2, 3, 9, 10, 16 & 17 @ 8PM Britain's master farceur Ray Cooney is at it again! Set in a hospital, "It Runs in the Family" contains the usual assortment of farcical nuts running in & out of doors, mistaking everybody for someone else. Dr. Mortimer tries to fend off a paternity suit, his wife, a punkish daughter & various other lunatics so that he may, at last, deliver the Ponsonby Lecture in an international conference. This is farce at its best as the situation spins hilariously out of control in typical Ray Cooney fashion. One character after another is bounding through doors that swing or slam in the doctor's lounge at St. Andrews Hospital & some are even crawling along the snowy ledge outside. Tickets: 13.00 Adults $11.00 Seniors and Students Reservation Line: 330-620-7314<tel:(330)%20620-7314> The theatre is located at 3326 Everett Road, Richfield, OH.

Looking For Musical Duo or Trio for Assisted Living Event - Paid
by Noah Budin 30 Nov '17

30 Nov '17

Hi - I'm looking for a musical duo or trio for an event at Stone Gardens Assisted Living at Menorah Park for Wednesday, December 27, 7:30 PM - 8:30 PM. This is our New Year Party. I'm looking for a group that can be versatile and play some standards from the 30s-40s, and also some dance music from any era. We are a not-for-profit nursing home, so my funding is limited. Standard pay across campus for entertainers is $80.00/entertainer/hour. I may be able to bump that up a little depending on my funding source, and whether you're a duo or trio, and some other factors. Any combo of instruments is fine. Vocals are preferred, but not 100% necessary. Please email me initially at nbudin(a)menorahpark.org<mailto:nbudin@menorahpark.org> and include a phone number. I'll either email you a response, or call you to discuss it further. I have a very active and (often) lively group of seniors here, and they love the New Year Party. You'll have fun playing for them!
