"One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" Finishes Its Successful Run this Weekend at Western Reserve Playhouse
by B W 20 May '18

20 May '18

“One flew east, one flew west, one flew over the cuckoo’s nest.” Western Reserve Playhouse presents the searing drama One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest by Dale Wasserman, based on the book by Ken Kesey. The show will run during Mental Health Awareness Month, May 18-26. As part of their commitment to community awareness, WRP is partnering with Portage Path Behavioral Health to bring you this show. In doing so, WRP & PPBH will be holding talkbacks after the performance on May 25th. These talkbacks will include the ability to talk with the cast and director, as well as different clinicians who specialize in mental illness. One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest is the story of McMurphy, a charming rogue who contrives to serve a short sentence in an airy mental institution rather than in a prison. While there, he clashes with Head Nurse Ratched, who has no time for his nonsense. McMurphy quickly takes over the yard and accomplishes what the medical profession has been unable to do for years: He leads others out of introversion, stages a revolt so that they can see the World Series on television and arranges a rollicking midnight party with liquor and women. After a tragic event occurs, Ratched and McMurphy go head-to-head – and only one of them will win this battle. Co-Artistic Director Brian Westerley directs this stunning play. Award-winning actress April Deming is the formidable Nurse Ratched, while newcomer to WRP Ryan Rasnick tackles McMurphy. The other patients are played by Joe Turner, Andrew Gordon, Dennis Burby, Craig Webb, Marc Dusini & Irv Korman. Rounding out the cast are Abby Morris, Vince Sarowatz, Bradley Haramis, David Wagar, Mikhayla Wilkins and Annette Fernandez. The show contains adult language and themes. Show Time: 8PM Friday & Saturday. Tickets: $17.00 Adults; $15.00 Seniors & Students. To reserve tickets, please visit our website: www.westernreserveplayhouse.org<http://www.westernreserveplayhouse.org> The venue is located at 3326 Everett Rd., Bath, OH 44286.

Attention Script Writers
by Carol Townsend 20 May '18

20 May '18

Hello Playwrights, I would like input from a couple of playwrights (Christian and not is fine). I've written a Christian play that I want to a couple of playwrights, friends and family members to critique after a reading. The entire play will not need to be read; only about 60 mintues would be read. The play is about several women who followed Jesus. The play is fictional and now fictional; it is a bit edgy and I really could use some input. I'm not looking to change the story line but soften some of the rough edges if need be. Also, I'm new to theater scene and could use some advice on how to setup a reading. Thank You, Carol

Review of "Passing Strange" at Karamu
by Bob Abelman 20 May '18

20 May '18

Karamu’s brilliant ‘Passing Strange’ testifies about the power of art, love Bob Abelman Cleveland Jewish News, The News Herald, The Morning Journal Member, American Theatre Critics Association There is certainly no shortage of coming-of-age memory plays, where an older character sentimentally reflects back on the trials and tribulations of his younger self. But few are delivered through music and verse and fewer still are as intriguing, engaging and brilliantly performed as Karamu’s production of “Passing Strange.” For more of this article, go to www.clevelandjewishnews.com/columnists/bob_abelman/
