Superman the Musical arrives in 2 weeks!
by Joanna May Cullinan 01 Apr '19

01 Apr '19

It's a Bird...It's a Plane...It's SUPERMAN! In-Concert Musical Music by Charles Strouse Lyrics by Lee Adams Book by David Newman and Robert Benton *Presented by The Musical Theater Project and Kent State University School of Theatre and Dance* *Directed by Terri Kent* Sunday, April 14, 2019 | 2:00 PM Kent State University *Monday, April 15, 2019 | 7:30 PM* Breen Center for the Performing Arts The Man of Steel sings! Where? In his 1966 Broadway show featuring a playful Charles Strouse-Lee Adams (*Bye Bye Birdie*) score including "You've Got Possibilities," and a wisecracking script by Robert Benton and David Newman, who later penned the first Superman movie starring Christopher Reeve. In this version, our super-hero has his hands full defending Metropolis against all evildoers -- most notably Dr. Abner Sedgwick, a vengeful 10-time Nobel Prize loser obsessed with destroying the world's symbol of goodness. And as usual, Lois Lane is obsessed with the unattainable guy in the red cape. In one number, Strouse & Adams's chorus declares that "in this world of cheap sensations and no foundations...we need him!" Sound familiar? *Tickets:* *Kent State University <https://www.kent.edu/theatredance>* *General: $18 | TMTP Members: $14* Tickets available through Kent State University 330-672-2787 or www.Kent.edu/theatredance *Breen Center <https://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/3512423>* General: $38/$35 | TMTP Members: $33/$30 Tickets available through Brown Paper Tickets. 800-838-3006 or www.MusicalTheaterProject.org [image: photo] *Joanna May Cullinan - Associate Director* The Musical Theater Project Ph: 216.860.1518 <W:%20216.860.1518> | joanna(a)musicaltheaterproject.org <heather(a)musicaltheaterproject.org> MusicalTheaterProject.org <http://musicaltheaterproject.org/> 5755 Granger Road Suite 830 Independence OH 44131 <https://maps.google.com/?q=5755+Granger+Road+Suite+830+Independence+OH+4413…> <http://www.facebook.com/TheMusicalTheaterProject/> <http://www.youtube.com/TheMusicalTheaProj> <http://www.linkedin.com/in/heather-meeker-0727689> Stay in touch!

The Wadsworth Footlighters Presents "BUS STOP" April 11-14
by Brenton Cochran 01 Apr '19

01 Apr '19

The Wadsworth Footlighters Proudly Presents... *"BUS STOP"* *By William Inge* *Directed by Brenton Cochran* *Produced by Cory Ott and Lindsay Patterson* *Performance presented with special arrangement with DRAMATISTS PLAY SERVICE. * *APRIL 11th - 14th, 2019* *Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 7:30pm* *Sunday at 2:30pm* *At the Strand at 123 Broad St. Wadsworth, OH* In the middle of a howling snowstorm, a bus out of Kansas City pulls up at a cheerful roadside diner. All roads are blocked, and four or five weary travelers are going to have to hole up until morning. Cherie, a nightclub chanteuse in a form-fitting dress and a seedy fur-trimmed jacket, is the passenger with most to worry about. She's been pursued, made love to and finally kidnapped by a twenty-eight-year-old cowboy with a ranch of his own and the romantic methods of an unusually headstrong bull. The belligerent cowhand is right behind her, ready to sling her over his shoulder and carry her, alive and kicking, all the way to Montana. Even as she's ducking out from under his clumsy but confident embraces, and screeching at him fiercely to shut him up, she pauses to furrow her forehead and muse, "Somehow deep inside of me I got a funny feeling I'm gonna end up in Montana …" As a counterpoint to the main romance, the proprietor of the cafe, Grace (originated on Broadway by the legend Elaine Stritch) and the bus driver at last find time to develop a friendship of their own; a middle-age scholar comes to terms with himself; and a young girl who works in the cafe also gets her first taste of romance. *Don't miss this all star cast and boldly directed production about the different facets of love, and the roads you didn't take. * *Cast of Characters:* *GRACE ... **Jenilee Taylor* *ELMA ... **Sarah Price* *WILL ...* *Martin Carlton* *CARL ... **Nathan Jarosz * *DR. LYMAN ... **Kevin Pickard* *CHERIE ... **MaryBeth Knode* *BO ... **Joe Kenderes* *VIRGIL ... **Adam Bowers *
