LCCC’s Stocker Arts Center Presents Alex Bevan in Concert
by Allison Jack 15 Feb '19

15 Feb '19

LCCC’s Stocker Arts Center Presents Alex Bevan in Concert Lorain County Community College’s Stocker Arts Center presents Alex Bevan in “Lake Erie Legacy” at 8 p.m. on Friday, March 1 and in “Retro Boy Returns-The Great Ohio Slide Continues!” at 8 p.m. on Saturday, March 2 in the Cirigliano Studio Theatre. Bevan previously wrote and performed “Skinny Little Boy from Cleveland, Ohio,” “Grand River Lullaby” and “Have Another Laugh on Cleveland Blues.” Friday night's show, "Lake Erie Legacy," is Bevan’s homage to the lake and the islands. Beginning in 1991 with his critically acclaimed disk “Watersongs,” again with “South Shore Serenade,” then finally with “Sweetwater Pete,” Bevan explores the stories, melodies and mythic personas that populate Lake Erie's historical (and fictional) treasure trove of tales. Saturday's show features Bevan’s freewheeling romp through the past with a wink to the present. It combines all the old favorites from his performances on the college circuit, as well as the WMMS days, along with assorted tall tales. Bevan will recreate the “Great Ohio Slide Tour” of 1978. The “Skinny Little Boy from Cleveland, Ohio” will return as Retro Boy conjuring the freewheeling performance style that brought him to the forefront of performers who inhabited the college coffeehouses and small hall concerts of the 1970s. The years from 1971 to 1979 found Alex logging many thousand miles of travel and performing as an opening act for such headliners as the Beach Boys, Doobie Brothers, Michael Stanley Band, Earl Scruggs Review, Pure Prairie League, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Jerry Jeff Walker, Jimmy Buffet, Livingston Taylor, Billy Joel and more. All these influences combined and allowed him to grow into his own lyric style of folk/rock that culminated in Alex releasing his first of many self-produced recordings. Tickets for these Stocker Studio Session events are $20 each or $10 for LCCC students with a valid ID, youth 18 and under, and active duty military with valid ID. Subscriptions are also available for this series. To purchase tickets, call the box office at (440) 366-4040. Hours are Monday through Friday from noon to 6 p.m. The box office is also open 90 minutes before ticketed events (60 minutes before Student Matinees). Guests may also purchase tickets online at www.stockerartscenter.com<http://www.stockerartscenter.com>. To learn more, visit StockerArtsCenter.com. Stocker Arts Center is located on the campus of Lorain County Community College at 1005 North Abbe Road, Elyria, Ohio. Parking on the campus is free.

Lake Erie College presents Edward Albee’s THE ZOO STORY this weekend only! (Cameron Zona)
by Cameron Zona 14 Feb '19

14 Feb '19

Lake Erie College Department of Theatre presents Edward Albee’s “THE ZOO STORY” Directed by Joe Fath Starring Cameron Zona and Jim Hill The performances will take place February 15 and 16 at 7:30 & February 17 at 2:00 in the CK Rickel Theater in the Fine Arts Building. Tickets for the event are $5 at the door. THE ZOO STORY tells the story of Peter—a middle-aged husband enjoying a Sunday afternoon in Central Park. Peter meets Jerry, a self-described transient, and thus begins a comical relationship full of tense and dark undertones. Both hilarious and disturbing, THE ZOO STORY was Edward Albee’s first play. The renowned playwright also penned classics such as “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf”, “The Goat, or Who is Sylvia”, and “Three Tall Women”, winning multiple Tony Awards for his works. Having been Albee’s first play, THE ZOO STORY is full of the playwright’s innermost thoughts and observations on theatre and about the world in which we are all trapped. Having been through multiple previews, here’s what audiences members and critics have said of the Lake Erie College production: "Phenomenal must-see!" "Beautiful & moving—this performance changed me." "Highly recommend." "Mind-stirring." "Delightful staging & physical performance." "Costumes are on point." "The lighting is incredible." One weekend only—we look forward to seeing you there.
