Mumler unfolds. Mumler, a popular photographer in the post-Civil War era (when the country was mourning the loss of over 620,000 Americans,) built his reputation on his ability to capture images of departed loved ones in the pictures he took of the living who made their way to his studio.

'Night Mother coming in June to Akron
by Nicole Romo 13 May '19

13 May '19

Dunamis Theatre presents one of the most moving plays of the 21st Century, 'Night Mother written by Marsha Norman. Set in a very intimate space ,audiences will enjoy this Pulitzer Prize winning play for 6 nights only starting June 6,7,8 and June 13,14,15 at 8pm at The Center. 'Night Mother tackles the themes of family, heart break, and the decision to move on from this world. DATES: June 6 at 8pm June 7 at 8pm June 8 at 8pm June 13 at 8pm June 14 at 8pm June 15 at 8pm WHERE: The Center 118 W.Market St Akron, OH 44308 COST: Tickets are $15 For reservations or ticket info contact Dunamistheatercompany(a)gmail.com CAST: Momma: Nici Romo <https://www.facebook.com/nici.romo> Jessie: Josephine Reynolds <https://www.facebook.com/josie.reynolds.560> ABOUT 'NIGHT MOTHER: The scene is the living room/kitchen of a small house on an isolated country road, which is shared by Jessie and her mother. Jessie's father is dead; her loveless marriage ended in divorce; her absent son is a petty thief and ne'er-do-well; her last job didn't work out and, in general, her life is stale and unprofitable. As the play begins Jessie asks for her father's service revolver and calmly announces that she intends to kill herself. At first her mother refuses to take her seriously, but as Jessie sets about tidying the house and making lists of things to be looked after, her sense of desperate helplessness begins to build. In the end, with the inexorability of genuine tragedy, she can only stand by, stunned and unbelieving, as Jessie quietly closes and locks her bedroom door and ends her profound unhappiness in one fatal, stunning and deeply disturbing moment—a moment never to be forgotten by those who have witnessed, and come to understand, her plight. -- *Nici Romo* Managing Artistic Director Dunamis Theatre
