Opening in Three Weeks: *'JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT'* at The Cassidy Theatre! Directed/Choreographed by Monica Olejko Music Direction by Robert Schneider III *Synopsis:* Celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2018, sha la la Joseph you’re doing fine! You and your dreamcoat ahead of your time! One of the most enduring shows of all time, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is a reimagining of the Biblical story of Joseph, his father Jacob, eleven brothers and the coat of many colors. Told entirely through song, the musical follows favorite son Joseph. After being sold into slavery by his brothers, he ingratiates himself with Egyptian noble Potiphar, but ends up in jail after refusing the amorous advances of Potiphar’s wife. While imprisoned, Joseph discovers his ability to interpret dreams, and he soon finds himself in front of the mighty but troubled, Elvis-inspired, Pharaoh. Joseph’s solution to Egypt’s famine elevates him to Pharaoh’s right-hand man and reunites him with his family. *Ticketing:* Adult: $20 Seniors/Students: $15 Box Office: 440 - 842 - 4600 M-T-Th-F, 9:30 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. Online: cassidytheatre.ticketleap.com/joseph/

"The Dining Room by A.R. Gurney" at Theatre 8:15 this weekend only!
by Dawna Kornick 18 May '18

18 May '18

Theatre 8:15 presents ... "The Dining Room" By A. R. Gurney Directed by Benjamin Gavitt THE STORY: The play is set in the dining room of a typical well-to-do household, the place where the family assembled daily for breakfast and dinner and for any and all special occasions. The action is comprised of a mosaic of interrelated scenes-some funny, some touching, some rueful-which, taken together, create an in-depth portrait of a vanishing species: the upper-middle-class WASP. The actors change roles, personalities and ages with virtuoso skill as they portray a wide variety of characters, from little boys to stern grandfathers, and from giggling teenage girls to Irish housemaids. Each vignette introduces a new set of people and events; a father lectures his son on grammar and politics; a boy returns from boarding school to discover his mother's infidelity; a senile grandmother doesn't recognize her own sons at Christmas dinner; a daughter, her marriage a shambles, pleads futilely to return home, etc. Dovetailing swiftly and smoothly, the varied scenes coalesce, ultimately, into a theatrical experience of exceptional range, compassionate humor and abundant humanity. Featuring: Andrea Anderson, Tammy Carder, Ron Church, Kathleen Ferris, Mary Durkin, Adam Leventhal, Susan Rusinoff & Kyle Thomas Presented by special arrangement with DRAMATIST PLAY SERVICE, INC., NEW YORK Performance Dates May 18 - 20, 2018 Friday & Saturday @ 8:15 pm Sunday @ 2:15pm Tickets: Adults $13 - Seniors /Students $ 10 ** Tickets are available through our on line Box Office ** For more information please call (330) 896-0339 or email tickets(a)theatre815.com Theatre 8:15 4740 Massillon Rd Green, Ohio 44232 (330) 896-0339 www.theatre815.com email: info(a)theatre815.com

Cleveland Shakespeare Benefit this Sunday!
by keith kornajcik 18 May '18

18 May '18

20 years ago, a group of CWRU students noticed Northeast Ohio’s lack of “Shakespeare in the Park”, and so decided to do it themselves! Since those early days performing on the campus of Case, to today’s traveling Festival which plays in public spaces all over Northeast Ohio, CSF has performed for over 40,000 audience members and been named one of the summer’s best art events by both The Plain Dealer and Cleveland Scene. While our productions are FREE to attend, they are NOT free to produce. Costs include: truck rentals, rehearsal and office space, insurance, stipends paid to our performers and production staff, set and costume construction, and much more. We are fortunate to receive support grants from foundations and agencies, but the bulk of our support comes from our audience - whether through after-performance donations or by coming out to our annual fundraiser. This year’s fundraiser, PLAY ON! will be held Sunday, May 20 from 5-8 p.m. at Speakeasy at Bier Market (1948 W. 25 st./Cleveland). Tickets are $25 per person, and include various apps and gourmet pizza provided by the Speakeasy. There will also be a cash-bar, auction and raffle items, and the chance to hob-nob with your pals from CSF. Tickets will be available at the door. <https://www.eventbrite.com/e/play-on-cleveland-shakespeare-festival-fundrai…> If you cannot attend, but wish to make a donation, please visit: http:// www.cleveshakes.com/support-csf/support-csf/
