"10 Minutes to Cleveland" is directed by Don Bernardo. These short, fun, interesting and reflective scenes by Eric Coble, consist of ten scenes set at various well-known locations in the Cleveland area, circa 2005: "Detroit-Superior Bridge" "West Side Market" "RTA Train" "Legacy Village" "Cleveland Clinic" "Tremont" "Jacobs Field" "Rock and Roll Hall of Fame" "Lakeview Cemetery" "The Flats" The event will be followed by a brief interview with the author. The cast includes: Jim Hagan, Jennifer Ranaudo Kubinski, Abby Longshore, Brian L. Pichola, Jesse Pollak, Brenda Redmond, Linda Ryan, Steve Ryan, Doug Vanek, Justin Wells, Kate Williams-Bernardo & Brenda Willis A native of Edinburgh, Scotland, Coble was raised on Navajo and Ute reservations in New Mexico and Colorado. With an interest in theatre, he ultimately ended up at Ohio University where he earned an MFA in Acting. Along the way he started writing plays and the rest is history. His The Velocity of Autumn was presented on Broadway in 2014. Bright Ideas, The Dead Guy, A Girl's Guide to Coffee, My Barking Dog, and The Giver are among his shows that have been presented off-Broadway, in all 50 states and on several continents. Some of the noted theatres that have presented Coble's plays include the Manhattan Class Company, The Kennedy Center, Playwrights Horizons, Area Stage, Actors Theatre of Louisville Humana Festival, Edinburgh Fringe Festivals, Cleveland Play House, Great Lakes Theatre Festival, and the Asolo Repertory Theatre in Sarasota. He is currently a member of the Cleveland Play House Playwrights Unit. Of his work, the New York Times says "Eric Coble's hilariously funny, psychologically astute portraits hit home with rib-tickling acuity"; the New Yorker says "Coble's work is a tour-de-force with physical and verbal comedy to spare"; Variety says "A tidy little gem of comedy insanity. A toy box of a script stuffed with nasty jokes and outrageous situations"; and the Los Angeles Times says, "Adeptly lunatic, a hoot, a superior sitcom with a conscience." Coble's awards include the American Alliance for Theatre & Education Distinguished Play Award for Best Adaptation, an Emmy nomination, the Chorpenning Playwriting Award for Body of Work, the At&T Onstage Award, National Theatre Conference Playwriting Award, an NEA Playwright in Residence Grant, the Cleveland Arts Prize, two Cuyahoga Arts and Culture Fellowships and four Ohio Arts Council Individual Excellence grants.

Hosted by Scott Shepard, Alex Heckman, Dionne Atchison *Creating Characters for the Stage, Screen, & VO Booth with Kat Palardy (New Girl, TrollsTopia)* <https://imposterstheater.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=2b317370dae2166…> Tuesday 07/20 6:30pm-9:30pm *ONE SPOT LEFT* LA-based character comedian and actor Kat Palardy will help you build a character that opens doors! We'll warm up our bodies and souls and do some journal prompts, interviews and scenes with each other to find a strong physicality, point of view, and world for your character - one that you have worked on before, or just discovered - to live in! We'll find the funny, and lean into and heighten that! *Imposters Comedy Night @The Winchester* <https://imposterstheater.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=2b317370dae2166…> Wednesday 07/21 Doors 7:30pm/Show 8pm $10 Cover Hosted by Michael Busch (Conan, Adam Ruins Everything) Featuring standup, sketches, and other nonsense from Kat Palardy (New Girl, Superstore) Deena Nyer Mendlowitz (This Improvised Life) Joe Briggs (Parma) Meg Martinez, Mackenzie Maguire, & Cam Godfrey (Imposters Sketch Show) Sam Dee (Mass Hysteria Festival) Jordan Euell (Into The Evening With Irwin) & more tba! *Emotion Builds Character 2-Week Workshop with Dana Quercioli (Second City Chicago)* <https://imposterstheater.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=2b317370dae2166…> Wednesdays 07/28, 08/04 7:30-9:30pm This workshop will focus on how to create real characters and connections in your improvisation. Getting to the game of the scene, committing to a premise, and better listening all come from emotional exploration and a willingness to play, and we'll learn together that humor's where the heart is. *Have questions about any of the classes, workshops, or events?

by Roy Berko 13 Jul '21

*•••••••••••••••••••••••••••* *Capsule Judgment: BROOKLYN THE MUSICAL is not a show for everyone. The story is convoluted and the music not memorable. In spite of these flaws, the Porthouse production is good enough to make the trip out to the beautiful setting a worthwhile ride.* *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/>* *••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••*
