TRI-C METRO OPENS "WITH FAITH AND FURY"
by Perry, Frederick 04 Apr '18

04 Apr '18

The Theatre Department at Cuyahoga Community College's Metro Campus opens the World Premiere production of, With Faith And Fury adapted to the stage and directed by Fred Perry. With Faith and Fury introduces us to Adrian DeWulf, a charismatic philosophy professor, who has renounced all gods and makes a practice of publicly exposing the fraudulent nature of all religions. He meets his match with a group of religious fanatics; a masterful evangelist, a college football athlete, and other college professors. The battle is joined in the rarefied atmosphere of a peaceful, rural university; but the greater danger is to Adrian, for he falls in love with one of his students, Claire Sumner, and their love threatens to crack open a world of religious hypocrisy. The gloves come off to reveal the sometimes-desperate struggle between the compulsion toward divine authority and the freedom of the human spirit, between love of God and human passion. The Cast Includes: Jaclyn Cifranic, Caitlin Hathaway, Robert Graham, Tom Kondilas, Anastasia Urozhaeve, Tamia Macon, Christen Overby, Wendell Julian, Joshua Grooms, Noriel Brooks-Short, Sonia Fonseca, Camille Macon-Carter, and William Clark. Production Dates are: April 6, 7, 11, 12, 13 & 14 @ 7:30 p.m. and two matinees Sunday, April 8 @ 2:00 p.m. and Thursday, April 12 @ 10:30 a.m. Tri-C Students are free, Adults $10, Seniors and non-Tri-C students $8. Reservations: 216 987-4211 or visit www.trictickets.com<http://www.trictickets.com> Please use parking garage entrance #5 at 30th Street and Woodland for secure underground parking.

THE OLDEST PROFESSION onstage at con-con. This Sat. now sold out.

03 Apr '18

CONVERGENCE-CONTINUUM PRESENTS _THE OLDEST PROFESSION _BY PAULA VOGEL NOW ONSTAGE AT THE LIMINIS THEATER THROUGH APRIL 14 THIS SATURDAY NOW SOLD OUT! "..smart, street-wise dialogue seasoned with bawdy talk and hilarious one-liners. This is a very funny play" (Bob Abelman, _Cleveland Jewish News_) Click here [1] for the full review. Convergence-continuum presents the Cleveland premiere of _THE OLDEST PROFESSION _by Pulitzer Prize winning playwright Paula Vogel. It’s 1981, the year in which Ronald Reagan is about to enter the White House, and five ageing hookers of quite advanced years are faced with diminishing clientele, increased competition for their niche market and aching joints. The motley crew of ladies – who ply their trade on New York’s Upper West Side -- have been colleagues for decades. With wit, compassion, humor and some really naughty songs, they tell it like it is as they struggle to find and learn new tricks and fight to stay “in the Life” in an era of trickle-down economics. “endearing, gritty and witty”_ _(_DC Theatre Scene_) “warm and funny, bitchy and bright” (_Talkin’ Broadway_) _THE OLDEST PROFESSION _is directed by Amy Bistok, with Music Director /pianist Moss Stanley and Assistant Director/Stage Manager Jonathan Wilhelm. The cast features actors Lucy Bredeson-Smith, Jeanne Madison, Marcia Mandell, Jeanne Task and Valerie Young. _THE OLDEST PROFESSION _runs Thurs-Sat at 8 pm through Apr 14 at the Liminis Theater, 2438 Scranton Rd, Cleveland 44113 in the historic Tremont neighborhood. Fri & Sat tickets are $20 general admission, $15 seniors (65+), $10 students; Thurs tickets are $15, $12 and $8. _--------------------------------------------------- _ ____ This production_ _is supported in part by the residents of Cuyahoga County through a public grant from Cuyahoga Arts & Culture.

Show Information: Based on an astounding and outrageous true story, Anna Edson Taylor, who, in 1901 at the age of 63, set out to be the first woman to shoot Niagara Falls in a barrel of her own design. Navigating both the treacherous Falls and a fickle public with a ravenous appetite for sensationalism, this unconventional heroine vies for her legacy in a world clamoring with swindling managers, assassins, revolutionaries, moralizing family, anarchists and activists. Convinced that there is greatness in her and determined not to live as ordinary, she sets out to battle her fear and tempt her fate. With a soaring score that incorporates turn of the century themes with LaChiusa’s signature complexity and insight, Queen of the Mist is the story of a single great fall, and how one woman risked death so that she could live.
