Review of touring "The Humans" at Playhouse Square
by Bob Abelman 13 Apr '18

13 Apr '18

‘The Humans’ on tour, a moving reminder of life’s fragility Bob Abelman Cleveland Jewish News, The News Herald, The Morning Journal Member, International Association of Theatre Critics There’s a wonderful cartoon by The New Yorker’s Bob Mankoff that depicts a corporate executive reporting to his board. “And so,” he says, “while the end-of-the-world scenario will be rife with unimaginable horrors, we believe that the pre-end period will be filled with unprecedented opportunities for profit.” Stephen Karam’s “The Humans,” currently on tour with a three-week stopover at Playhouse Square, also calls attention to the admirable if highly irrational human tendency to be enterprising in the face of imminent demise. And like Mankoff’s hand-drawn illustration, the play – unfolding in a mere one-act on a single stationary set – is simply rendered to underplay its hefty message about life’s fragility and impermanence while simultaneously underscoring it.

Prop Designer for Upcoming Production
by Playwrights Local 13 Apr '18

13 Apr '18

PLAYWRIGHTS LOCAL SEEKS A PROP DESIGNER FOR UPCOMING PRODUCTION Playwrights Local (http://playwrightslocal.org/) seeks a Prop Designer to work with director Jimmie Woody on the premiere production of a new play. ‘The Panther Dancer’ by Logan Cutler Smith runs for three weeks in Cleveland in May 2018. Rehearsals are currently underway and will continue until May 10. Info on the production is available at http://www.playwrightslocal.org/the-panther-dancer/. This is a paying position on the non-Equity scale. Reply with a cover email and resume to playwrightslocal(a)gmail.com. About the Director Jimmie Woody’s recent credits include ‘To Kill A Mockingbird’, ‘Clybourne Park’, and ‘Raisin in the Sun’ (Weathervane Playhouse); ‘The America Play’ (University of Akron); and ‘Glass Menagerie’, ‘For Colored Girls…’, and ‘Jitney’ at Cuyahoga Community College. Find his full bio at http://www.dobama.org/artists/2017/7/18/jimmie-woody. About the Play >> ‘The Panther Dancer >> By Logan Cutler Smith >> Directed by Jimmie Woody >> Performances May 11 - 26, 2018 >> ‘The Panther Dancer’ is an innovative new play that digs deep beneath the iconicity of a childlike American star. A series of inventive, offbeat-but-affecting vignettes, this knowing satire explores how a monolithic entertainer was created by our culture and, in turn, how he redirected that culture towards his own conflicting ends. ‘The Panther Dancer’ follows a young wonder as he strives to become, in his own person, the very greatest show on earth. Tracing the arc of his campaign, the play becomes a playful synthesis of biography and tabloid journalism–a sidelong glance at a meteoric rise and a catastrophic fall. Come along for this portrait of a timeless pop archetype rendered flatly, mattely, and in fast-forward. Find more info on the play at http://www.playwrightslocal.org/the-panther-dancer/. About the Company Playwrights Local is a theater company based in Cleveland. Billed as a playwrights’ center, the organization’s goal is to provide a home for dramatic writing in Northeast Ohio.
