by Michael Cranston 01 Mar '18

01 Mar '18

Stow Players in association with Dramatists Play Service Inc. presents Ripcord – a comedy by David Lindsay-Abaire Directed by Michael Cranston A sunny room on an upper floor is prime real estate in the Bristol Place Assisted Living Facility, so when the cantankerous Abby is forced to share her quarters with new-arrival Marilyn, she has no choice but to get rid of the infuriatingly chipper woman by any means possible. A seemingly harmless bet between the old women quickly escalates into a dangerous game of one-upmanship that reveals not just the tenacity of these worthy opponents, but also deeper truths that each would rather remain hidden. Featuring the talents of Rose Gabriele, Manny Liotta, Dottie Emerick, Dave Sherman, Ryan Harden, and Janice Wedge. March 9-10, 16-17-18, 23-24-25 Fridays & Saturdays - 8:00 pm Sunday Matinees (3/18 & 3/25) - 2:30 pm Heritage Barn at Stow Silver Springs Park (back entrance) 5238 Young Rd <https://maps.google.com/?q=5238+Young+Rd&entry=gmail&source=g>.

The Manhattan Project Annual Cleanse!!!
by Manhattan Project 01 Mar '18

01 Mar '18

Between 1942 and 1945, J. Robert Oppenheimer gathered the most brilliant minds of the age at Los Alamos, New Mexico to create something awesome and terrible. The Manhattan Project - Cleveland Lab seeks to do the same for the Cleveland stage. Stop Wasting Time on Weak, Sagging Plays!!!The most wretched month of the year has begun and you've failed your New Year's resolution ten times already. *Fear not!* The Manhattan Project <https://facebook.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=24718b1d6d5f7c398165fdc7…> is ready to help by providing you with Zodiac Homogenized®, Cardio-stimulating Non-GMO Quantum Particlized®, Whole 30®, Fortified Ionized Copper-Plated Holistic Theatre® meant to clean you out and wipe you off! Our Indigo-Child playwrights were each instructed to consult the New-Age Bullshit Generator <https://facebook.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=24718b1d6d5f7c398165fdc7…> to inspire their home-quilted plays to stimulate your uvulas and neutralize bad vibes. We're pleased to present these life-changing panaceas! - *Manna is the Growth of Freedom, and of Us* by Arwen Mitchell - *Consciousness Consists of Supercharged Waveforms of Quantum Energy. "Quantum" Means an Evolving of the Higher* by Amy Schwabauer - *We Heal, We Heal, We are Reborn* by Daniel Dang - *Today Science Tells Us that the Essence of Nature is Healing* by Katie Wallace We hope you will join us for this eye-opening performance that BIG PHARMA doesn't want you to know about! The performance <https://facebook.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=24718b1d6d5f7c398165fdc7…>will be next Wednesday, March 7 at 8:00pm at Mahall's 20 Lanes <https://facebook.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=24718b1d6d5f7c398165fdc7…> in Lakewood <https://facebook.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=24718b1d6d5f7c398165fdc7…> . Come out of The Cave and join us! What exactly is The Manhattan Project - Cleveland Lab? The Manhattan Project is a low-stakes, nonthreatening place for actors and playwrights to meet and work together. Based on the Theatre Lab model taught at the Carnegie Mellon School of Drama and inspired by The Brooklyn Generator in New York, The Manhattan Project wants to introduce Cleveland actors and playwrights to each other by organizing a bi-monthly production of brand new 10-minute plays. Participating artists will meet early in the month and will be broken into teams, each with one playwright. The playwright will then be given a writing prompt to write a new 10-minute play based on the prompt and including all the team's actors. The rest of the evening the team members will get to know each other and get a feel for each other's skills and voices. The teams will reconvene later in the month to perform these plays for each other. These 10-minute plays are not an end in themselves. Through these small collaborations we hope to build relationships between the two most vulnerable artists in theatre; the actors who put themselves on stage and the playwrights who pour themselves onto the page. Perhaps these 10-minute plays will grow into longer works or maybe these collaborations will become partnerships on larger projects. If you'd like to participate, please RSVP at TrinityCrater(a)gmail.com or introduce yourself at out next event. *Some additional notes on the play lab:* - In the spirit of shoe-string theatre, these 10-minute plays should have a budget of $0.00. - Playwrights will be directing the plays, or an actor from the team can volunteer to do so. - It's up to each team to schedule rehearsals together. Based on experience, it shouldn't take more than 3-4 hours of rehearsal time to get these plays on their feet. - Playwrights are invited in advance of the Meet & Greet. - *Playwrights are invited based on participation in past Manhattan Project events, so please come to our events so we can get to know you!*
