Austin Pendleton in Beck Center's Broadway Bound
by Julie Gilliland 23 Sep '21

23 Sep '21

Just two weekends left! Neil Simons' Broadway Bound, featuring Austin Pendleton, running until October 3, 2021 Lakewood, OH-Beck Center for the Arts<http://www.beckcenter.org/> is pleased to announce Broadway Bound<https://www.beckcenter.org/shows/template-dj8td-49d9j-3gp3f>, featuring Austin Pendleton<https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0671721/> in its first production of the 2021-2022 Professional Theater Season<https://www.beckcenter.org/professional-theater>. Mr. Pendleton returns from New York City after having performed in a Beck Center prior production, Glengarry Glen Ross. This production will be performed in the newly named Senney Theater<https://www.beckcenter.org/theater/seating-charts>. In recognition of Wally and Joyce Senney for their extraordinarily generous gift of over $1 million for the Creating Our Future capital campaign, Beck Center's Board of Directors recently voted to change the name of its larger theater to The Senney Theater. The Senney family's history with the organization goes back to 1915 when they constructed the Lucier Movie Theater and Maheu block which became the home of Lakewood Little Theater in 1938, later becoming Beck Center for the Arts. Produced by Scott Spence<https://www.beckcenter.org/about/leadership>, now in his 31st season with Beck Center, and directed by William Roudebush,<https://www.linkedin.com/in/william-roudebush-27a74097/> this comedy by hilarious playwright Neil Simon<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Simon> is sure to ease patrons back into the comfort of live theater. Mr. Roudebush says of returning to the theater in Lakewood, Ohio, "I was born in 1949, the same year Broadway Bound takes place. I became a Thespian at Rocky River High School in 1964, the same year Neil Simon's most famous play, The Odd Couple, opened on Broadway. My father and I were devotee's of The Phil Silvers' Show as well as Your Show Of Shows starring Sid Caesar, Imogine Coca, and Carl Reiner. Over the years I have directed at least 15 productions penned by the greatest comic genius of our time, Neil Simon. So, after a solid eighteen months of quarantine and isolation from what I love the most, this production of Broadway Bound is the perfect coming out party for me. His comic rhythms were born into my soul and I can't wait for them to play out in front of a play-starved audience. It's the perfect 'welcome back' for all of us!" In anticipation of welcoming theater patrons back to the Senney Theater Beck Center made a number of investments in the HVAC and air filtration to provide a safe environment for patrons as they return to the theater. Beck Center will communicate any mask policies with patrons prior to the production. Starting September 30, 2021 please be prepared to show a vaccination card for COVID-19 or a negative test result.
