Berko review: MA RAINEY'S BLACK BOTTOM @ Karamu
by Roy Berko 10 Oct '21

10 Oct '21

*•••••••••••••••••••••••••••* *MA RAINEY’S BLACK BOTTOM is a well-written, well-performed play, that grabs and holds the attention. The author, August Wilson, as is his usual manner, brings a strong spotlight onto the plight of the Black population in America. This is a production well worth seeing! * *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/>* *••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••*

AUDITIONS FOR THE TWENTIETH CENTURY WAY BY TOMJACOBSON, DIRECTED BY CLYDE SIMON SUNDAY,OCT 17, starting 2pm at convergence-continuum (2438 Scranton Rd, Cleveland 44113) Rolesfor two 30ish, white males TheTwentieth Century Way by Tom Jacobson is a two-person play and a real tourde force for two good actors. The two characters are themselves actors,Brown and Warren, and the play is based on the true story of two actual actorswho hired themselves out in 1914 to the Long Beach, CA police department toentrap gay men in private clubs and public restrooms for “oral sodomy.” Butit’s a fictionalized, very theatrical version, starting with the two actorsBrown and Warren waiting backstage before an audition for a movie. It turns outto be a long wait and to pass the time, Warren challenges Brown to animprovisation – which becomes the story of entering the hidden world ofrestrooms and private parties (mostly the latter) and the interactions with themen they ensnare. Overthe course of the “improvisation” they each play 6 – 10 roles, dropping in andout of character (i.e. back to Brown and Warren) in rapid succession. The playis as much about the nature of acting (both onstage and off) as it is about therelationship between the two men and sexual identity, institutionalizedcorruption and the conscience of civil servants carrying out questionableduties. (Also been described as “hilariously funny and simultaneously deadlyserious”) PLEASECONTACT CLYDE SIMON AT CSIMON(a)CONVERGENCE-CONTINUUM.ORG FOR FURTHER DETAILS AND FOR SETTING UP AUDITION TIMES. Another of Jacobson's plays, Ouroboros, had been produced at con-con before. His plays have a very shrewd, intricate,layered, meta-theatrical approach to bending and blending the real and unreal.Challenging, and really good stuff!

Berko review: THE EXONORATED @ Beck Center for the Arts
by Roy Berko 09 Oct '21

09 Oct '21

*•••••••••••••••••••••••••••* *CAPSULE JUDGMENT: THE EXONERATED has a strong and important message. It is one that anyone interested in civil justice should hear. The docu-drama methodology of one speech following another relayed the idea, but didn’t make for compelling theater.* *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/>* *••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••*
