Anyone Can Whistle opens in a week at Near West Theatre!
by Bailey Pfohl 08 Feb '19

08 Feb '19

TWO WEEKENDS ONLY: Anyone Can Whistle At Near West Theatre February 15th – 24th This show features our Youth Cast, ages 9 - 15 Book by Arthur Laurents Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim Orchestration by Don Walker Directed by Kelcie Nicole Dugger Written by Stephen Sondheim, Anyone Can Whistle is an absurdist social satire about insanity and conformity (among a dozen other things!). This legendary cult show is a wacky, intelligent, highly unconventional musical which tells the story of a corrupt mayoress who fakes a miracle to revitalize her bankrupt town and the ill-fated romance between the rational nurse and the easy-going doctor who is determined to enjoy the chaos that it brings. Anyone Can Whistle delivers a poignant message about the importance of the individual in a conformist society – but not before aiming its still-relevant barbs at government, religion, science and anything else that stands in its way! Performances: February 15, 16, 17, 21, 22, 23 & 24 Thursday, Friday, Saturday 7:30PM Sunday 3:00PM TICKETS $10 General Admission Adult/$8 Children 12 and under/$25 STAR SEATS TICKETS can be purchased ONLINE at the link above (nearwesttheatre.org) by PHONE (216.961.6391), or IN PERSON during Box Office hours.

*Join us tonight for* *Venus In Fur* by David Ives This mysterious, funny, erotic drama is the perfect way to heat up your Valentine’s plans. *February 8-9, 15-16* Fridays & Saturdays 8pm Rockport Square Firehouse 1422 Hopkins Ave. Lakewood, OH 44107 $12 for single tickets Discounts available see our FB page (Venus in Fur: Lakewood <https://www.facebook.com/events/788398941523911/>) for more info. Get tickets here: https://venusinfurlakewood.brownpapertickets.com *THE STORY:* Thomas, a beleaguered playwright/director, is desperate to find an actress to play Vanda, the female lead in his adaptation of the classic sadomasochistic tale *Venus in Fur*. Into his empty audition room walks a vulgar and equally desperate actress—oddly enough, named Vanda. Though utterly wrong for the sophisticated part, Vanda exhibits a strange command of the material, piquing Thomas' interest with her seductive talents and secretive manner. As the two work through the script, they blur the line between play and reality, entering into an increasingly serious game of submission and domination that only one of them can win. Directed by Jennifer Dove Starring Katie Simón Atkinson and Joe Kenderes Produced by Nicole McLaughlin Lublin & Katie Simón Atkinson Presented by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc., New York.

The show is directed by Katharine Tonti and cast includes Alex Nine, Christine Wright, Jenny Barrett and Chris Macchione. Please note the show contains adult language and adult themes. One of the characters in the show also experiences projectile vomiting during the performance. Show is performed without an intermission. Performance dates are Friday and Saturday nights at 8pm.
