HAPPY HUG A GANGSTER DAY
by Joseph Bauer via NEohioPAL 19 May '17

19 May '17

Mafia buffs, *Occupation Wiseguy*, a novel by native Cleveland author Joey Bauer, on kindle now, is a must read! Based on a true story, it revisits the glory days when our fair city’s colorful home-grown gangster elite: the anti-heroes Angelo Lonardo, Jack White, John Scalish, Frank Broncato, Shondor Birns, Al Polizzi, Tommy Mc Ginty and their entourage were rock stars and explosive enforcer, the much feared Big Ange De Nello, was the first one they called and the last man you want to meet; he was bullet proof, until iconic New York hitman Crazy Joe Gallo brought his gun to town, and then he wasn’t. Other invited guests at Big Ange’s exclusive surprise party included the three kings: Meyer Lansky, Lucky Luciano and Bugsy Siegle, and oh, there was a fireworks show at the end!

Beauty and the Beast Final Weekend at Beachwood Community Theater
by Jill Koslen-Freireich via NEohioPAL 19 May '17

19 May '17

* Beachwood Community Theater’s* * Beauty and the Beast* Beachwood Community Theater presents a tale as old as time, Disney's* Beauty and the Beast* <http://www.pcpa.org/BeautyandtheBeast.html> Final Weekend Friday, May 19, 7:30pm Saturday, May 20, 4pm Sunday, May 21, 2pm Be swept away by this enchanted musical! This unforgettable tale is brought to life with enchanted characters, fabulous costumes, and a stunning score including, the Tony-winning title song, "Beauty and the Beast." As director, Jill Koslen-Freireich, shares, “Audiences discover, as Belle does, that who we are inside is more important than outward appearances. This story inspires us to look deeply into someone’s heart before determining if a roar is a danger sign or a lonely cry. It's also a story that believes redemption is possible, even when you've made a mistake you wish you could nullify. It reminds us that it's almost never too late to learn to love and be loved. Beachwood’s Beauty and the Beast opened on the heels of Disney’s release of its live action film. The Disney animated feature film from which the play (and newer film) is based premiered in 1991 and won the Academy Award for Best Song and Best Original Score and made history for being the first animated feature to be nominated for Best Picture. The Broadway production opened in 1994 and ran for 13 years. The Broadway production expanded upon the animated version with seven new songs. The new songs were intended to bring out the sensitive side of the Beast and to underscore Belle's courage. The play was nominated for nine Tony Awards. As always, Beachwood Community Theater plans to give back to the community by donating all candy sale profits to Harvest for Hunger. The intergenerational cast is also hosting a book drive donating lightly used books, coinciding with Belle’s love for books. *At a Glance:* *What* *Beauty and the Beast* *When* Final Weekend Friday May 19 7:30pm, Saturday May 20 4pm, Sunday, May 21 2pm *Where* Beachwood Middle School auditorium *Tickets* $7 Youth $8Adults (Available at the door ONLY) *For more Information* 216-292-1970
