KennellyReview of Native Gardens
by Laura Kennelly 05 May '19

05 May '19

“Good fences, make good neighbors”? Well, maybe not always. Karen Zacarias’s witty and abundantly funny *Native Gardens*, directed for the Cleveland Play House by Robert Barry Flemming, plants two contrasting families side by side in a wealthy Washington, D.C. neighborhood. As the drama grows, entwining Zacarias’s characters into battle despite their good intentions, it becomes harder to tell the weeds from the flowers. For the rest see review at https://coolcleveland.com/2019/05/theater-review-native-gardens-cleveland-p…

by Jessica Houde 05 May '19

05 May '19

Hi All, As some of you may already know, the law makers in Ohio are proposing to do away with the film credit tax incentive. If this happens, it will be devastating for the film industry in Ohio. We, along with the Cleveland Film Commission are calling upon all of you to help us send a message to our state officials. This Monday at 6:30 PM, we are asking everybody to show up at the Houde School of Acting on 1777 Coventry Rd. Cleveland Heights. We will be filming a short video clip to send to the law makers. The purpose of this is to assemble as large a group as possible to make a visual impact. We hope you will do your best to help us in our attempt to save Ohio film jobs and further grow this industry. Lets all stand together and fight for what we love! Sincerely, Jessica Houde Morris Houde School of Acting Sent from my iPhone

Review of "Million Dollar Quartet" at Great Lakes Theater
by Bob Abelman 05 May '19

05 May '19

Great Lakes Theater’s rock ‘n’ roll tribute ‘Million Dollar Quartet’ worth every penny Bob Abelman Cleveland Jewish News, The News Herald, The Morning Journal “Million Dollar Quartet,” which opened on Broadway in 2010, reenacts that storied Tuesday afternoon in 1956 when a young Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Elvis Presley happened to gather at the Sun Records studio in Memphis, Tennessee for an impromptu jam session for the ages. Patrons of this Great Lakes Theater production should know that what appears on stage is more of a musical revue than a theatrical bio-musical. Only a tissue-thin back story about the boys’ early days with the record label, written by Colin Escott and Floyd Mutrux, is delivered between musical performances and directly addressed to the audience by an exuberant James Ludwig, who plays Sun Records owner and producer Sam Phillips. Phillips serves as our conduit to the four rock ‘n’ roll legends-in-the-making throughout the evening. While bio-musicals are usually grounded in more truth than fiction and more story than songs, “Million Dollar Quartet” was written with ample creative license. So much so that the fact that a young Cash, Lewis, Perkins and Presley happened to gather at Sun Records one day in Memphis may be the only fact to be found. While historical accuracy shouldn’t be expected (though Lauren T. Roark’s costuming is spot on), capturing the musicians’ look, manner and legendary musicianship is a must. Anything less is merely impersonation. Worse, it’s imposture. And the true litmus test is if an audience leans in during the performances to get just a little bit closer to the genius that made this remarkable music, as if it was actually in the room.

*•••••••••••••••••••••••••••* *CAPSULE JUDGMENT: “Native Garden” is that perfect script which grabs and holds an audience with humor and good story telling, while clearly making its philosophical point. It gets a picture-perfect production at CPH. It is a wonderful piece to define and explain the political and societal climate of today. Go! See! Enjoy and learn!!* *To read the entire review go to: **www.royberko.info* <http://www.royberko.info>*. ** To read the capsule judgements of the other Cleveland reviewers go to: **www.clevelandtheaterreviews.com* <http://www.clevelandtheaterreviews.com> *••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••*
