Review of touring "Dear Evan Hansen" at Playhouse Square
by Bob Abelman 14 Jun '19

14 Jun '19

Brilliant ‘Dear Evan Hansen’ at Playhouse Square a start-to-finish cryfest Bob Abelman Cleveland Jewish News, The News Herald, The Morning Journal The sobbing you hear underscoring the production of “Dear Evan Hansen” – currently on tour and on stage at Playhouse Square after being recognized as the best musical on Broadway in 2017 – is coming from both sides of the proscenium. It is the sound of actors lost in their astoundingly honest and gut-wrenching depiction of people in pain and the audience’s gut-response to it.

Berko review: DEAR EVAN HANSEN (Key Bank Broadway Series)
by Roy Berko 14 Jun '19

14 Jun '19

*•••••••••••••••••••••••••••* *CAPSULE JUDGEMENT: “Dear Evan Hansen” is a mesmerizing evening of contemporary musical theatre. Complete with pop-contemporary music sounds, complete with art songs and narrative story-telling tunes, and a relevant story line, it is one of the finest examples of the new wave of musical dramas. Don’t go expecting show-stoppers and an escapist plot, this is life as it is being lived, with all its angst and issues. The touring production is excellent and is an absolutely must see!! * *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> *••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••*

Need 2 boys age 12-15 for "A Guide to the Teenage Zone"
by Clague Playhouse News 13 Jun '19

13 Jun '19

*Clague Playhouse Red Barn Youth Theater * *A Guide to the Teenage Zone* Directed by Greg Dziama *2 Roles Still Available:* Boys - age 12-15 *About the Play:* This is a light-hearted look at young teenagers who are still part child, yet emerging adults. A guide leads us into the everyday world of a group of 12 to17 teenagers starting early in the morning. We follow them to school, back home again and end with late-night phone calls reviewing events of the day as a new dawn approaches. In eight rich scenes, we see sophisticated, yet simple interactive relationships working together: Good Morning!, The Bus Stop, Homeroom, First Period, Lunch, The Bus Ride, The Afternoon, and Evenings and Telephones. Sometimes teens that seem a bit uninterested in their current life circumstance emerge as late bloomers. Regardless, teens come up with brilliant ideas and questions about life as they grow into adulthood. This play highlights some of this transition. *Rehearsals:* Monday and Wednesday, June 12-July 25 from 6-8pm *Production Dates:* July 26-28, 2019 on Friday and Saturday at 7pm and Sunday at 2pm Auditions will be cold readings from the script. Call Greg Dziama 440-477-8133 if you have any questions. - - - - - - - - - Clague Playhouse, Inc. 1371 Clague Road Westlake, OH 44145 news(a)clagueplayhouse.org 440-331-0403 www.clagueplayhouse.org *Follow us on **Facebook* <https://www.facebook.com/ClaguePlayhouse/>*!*
