INTO THE WOODS opens 10/24 at Playhouse Square's Allen Theatre!
by Theatre 14 Oct '19

14 Oct '19

CLEVELAND STATE UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENT OF THEATRE & DANCE PRESENTS INTO THE WOODS October 24 - November 3, 2019 Allen Theatre Mainstage, Playhouse Square Music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, and book by James Lapine www.playhousesquare.org<http://www.playhousesquare.org/multicategory/category/cleveland-state-unive…> | 216-241-6000 Find out why getting what you wish for doesn't necessarily mean "happily ever after." Directed by Russ Borski, and with musical direction by Maria DiDonato, this Tony Award-winning musical begins with "Once upon a time..." and tells the intersecting stories of several Brothers Grimm and Charles Perrault fairy tales. Just when everyone's journey seems to be resolved, the characters' worlds are shattered, only to be recombined to show that nobody really lives "happily ever after." Audience members will recognize characters such as Jack and his beanstalk, Cinderella, Rapunzel, and Little Red Ridinghood. The story also has a Mysterious Man, a Witch, and a Narrator, among other colorful characters. "The musical features a cast of 22 undergraduates, based in the Department of Theatre and Dance, and the cast is inclusive of other departments such as Film, Music, and Education," says Borski. "Besides the brilliant music and lyrics of Mr. Sondheim, the story explores deeper issues between parent and child, and shows how personal decisions of desire and greed can cause collateral damage in the ones we love the most." The CSU cast includes Erin Ashdown (Lucinda), Tasha Brandt (Witch), Machala Comenschek (Jack's Mother), Kierstan Conway (Florinda), John Cox (Steward), Claudia Cromly (Baker's Wife), Chan Cunningham (Jack), Sonia Fonseca (Granny), Jaren Hodgson (Narrator), Libby Kendzerski (Cinderella), Alexander Koler (Cinderella's Prince), Zavier McLean (Wolf), Brooke Myers (Cinderella's Mother), Carter Nagy (Rapunzel's Prince), Emmett Podgorski (Cow Impostor), Maggie Raiff (Rapunzel), Sullivan Ratcliff (Baker), Mia Snyder (Giantesse), Suzanna Szabados (Cinderella's Stepmother), Jarrod Vullo (Cinderella's Father), and Katelyn Zeitz (Little Red Ridinghood). Show times are Thursdays through Saturdays at 7:30 p.m., and Sundays at 2 p.m. $5-$15 tickets are available by calling 216.241.6000, visiting playhousesquare.org<http://www.playhousesquare.org/multicategory/category/cleveland-state-unive…>, or at the State Theatre Ticket Office, located at 1519 Euclid Ave., Cleveland, OH 44115. Tickets are also available 60-minutes prior to performances at the Allen Theatre Complex.

Avanti - CWRU Fall Dance Concert
by CWRU Dance Publicity 14 Oct '19

14 Oct '19

The Department of Dance at Case Western Reserve University will open the 2019-20 season with Avanti, a presentation of new and revisited works opening November 1st. Performance dates and times are November 1, 2, and 7 - 9 at 8:00 p.m., and November 3 at 2:30 p.m. All performances are at Mather Dance Center, 11201 Bellflower Road, on the Case Western Reserve campus in University Circle. Headlining the program will be Like Fragments from an Old Song, created for the graduate dancers by internationally acclaimed guest choreographer Pam Tanowitz. Alongside this work is the return of the historic and lyrical Air for the G String by modern dance pioneer Doris Humphrey, and the fast-paced Caffeinated by guest choreographer Larry Keigwin. Rounding out the program is a second restaging of Gary Galbraith’s Islands of Desire, which premiered in 2014, and his new work Brothers, featuring the department’s male dancers. Like Fragments from an Old Song is set to and inspired by Broad and Free, a composition for violin and piano by contemporary composer Caroline Shaw. The work was created during Tanowitz’s eight day CWRU residency in September and explores fragmented movements woven together by the dancers’ connectivity and intuition, with an homage to the history of Mather Dance Center. Returning to the Mather stage is Caffeinated, an energetic and charming dance set to Philip Glass’s Glasspiece #3. The work was commissioned by New York University’s dance department and was expanded in 2018 by Jaclyn Walsh, Keigwin’s regisseur, for a cast of 12 CWRU dancers that includes graduate students and undergraduate dance majors. The department will again present Doris Humphrey's graceful, sculptural, and processional quintet Air for the G String set to Johann Sebastian Bach's Air from his Orchestral Suite # 3 in D Major. Department of Dance Professor and Artistic Director Gary Galbraith will reprise his sensual duet Islands of Desire, which explores the travails of a couple who long to reconnect but are hampered by the ever present multimedia that infuses the lovers’ personal space. Brothers, a new dance work by Galbraith, showcases 7 of the men in the dance department. Set to the music of Barbatuques, Brothers brings forward a camaraderie among the men in a highly rhythmic and dynamic field of motion. Drawing from the strengths of the men, this dance has a tribal quality yet remains a contemporary, communal ensemble. Tickets are $10 for students, $12 for seniors age 60+ and CWRU personnel, and $15 for general admission. Student discounts are not available for the November 9 performance. Reservations are recommended and may be made by calling (216) 368-5246 or online at dance.case.edu/reservations.
