Critics and Audiences love ONE MAN, TWO GUVNORS - Blank Canvas Theatre
by info blankcanvastheatre.com 22 Sep '22

22 Sep '22

"The script is full of off-kilter humor, word play, and innuendo, entertaining from beginning to end. This is a show that is clearly a blast to be a part of, and just as much fun to watch." -Sheri Gross (Cleveland Jewish News & News Herald)<https://www.clevelandjewishnews.com/columnists/sheri_gross/blank-canvas-one…> "If you want a few belly laughs without troubling your brain, "One Man, Two Guvnors" is just the ticket-and you may wind up with a co-starring role if you sit close enough to the stage." Christine Howey (Scene Magazine)<https://www.clevescene.com/arts/sex-food-and-slapstick-reign-in-one-man-two…> It's the FINAL WEEKEND to see this Cleveland Premiere. Blank Canvas Theatre Presents The Cleveland Premiere of ONE MAN, TWO GUVNORS By Richard Bean with songs by Grant Olding Based on The Servant of Two Masters by Carlo Goldoni Directed by Anne McEvoy September 22 - 24 Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at 8:00pm Rated: PG-13 *This show contains adult language Run time: 2hrs Brighton, England. 1963. Change is in the air, and Francis Henshall is looking to make his mark. Fired from a skiffle band and in search of work, he finds himself employed by small-time gangster Roscoe Crabbe, in town to collect a fee from his fiancee's gangster father. But Roscoe is really Rachel, posing as her own dead brother, herself in love with Stanley Stubbers (her brother's killer) who, in turn, becomes our hero's other 'guvnor'. Fighting a mounting sense of confusion, Francis goes out of his way to serve both bosses. But with the distractions of a pneumatic bookkeeper, a self-important actor and select members of the criminal fraternity (not to mention his own mammoth appetite) to contend with, how long can he keep them apart? Richard Bean's hilarious comedy received 5-star reviews from every London newspaper and was the hit of the 2012 Broadway season.

INSURRECTION: HOLDING HISTORY opens October 14th at convergence-continuum
by Cory Molner 21 Sep '22

21 Sep '22

Convergence-continuum continues its 2022 season with INSURRECTION:HOLDING HISTORY, by Robert O’Hara. Struggling with hisgraduate thesis on slavery, Ron, a gay, black student at Columbia, attends afamily reunion to celebrate his great-great-grandfather T.J.’s 189th birthday.Despite the fact that T.J. can’t move, hear, or speak, T.J. (given voice by thespirit of Mutha Wit) convinces Ron to take him back to his old home inVirginia. Fracturing the space-time continuum as they go further south, theyarrive on the eve of Nat Turner’s doomed 1831 uprising to see Nat Turnerhimself racing through the woods. Encouraged to understand his ‘past’ in orderto understand his ‘present’ and the perception-altering confrontation with whatit means to be ‘free’, Ron discovers that how the authenticity of historyunfolds depends on the perception of the storyteller. Winner of theOppenheimer Award for Best New American Play in 1996, Insurrection: Holding History isa fanciful dramatization of Black history by multi award-winning playwright anddirector Robert O’Hara. Written during his artist-in-residency at the NY PublicTheater, the play garnered immediate acclaim for the burgeoning playwrightearning comparisons to a cross between Roots and TheWizard of Oz. The SanFrancisco Examiner called it “One seriously hilarious andhilariously serious play… remarkably exciting, deeply provocative, [and]comically profound.” Wonderfully witty with time-bending fantasticalturns, Insurrection: HoldingHistory is a wild, thrilling ride between past and present. Insurrection: HoldingHistory is directed by Jeannine Gaskin. The cast features Andrew Pope (TJ)Chelsea Anderson (Izzie Mae), Isaiah Betts (Hammet), Kadijah Wing (Mutha Wit),Laprise Johnson (Gertha), Matthew Raybeam (Nat Turner), Mike Frye (Cop,Detective, etc.), Sydney Smith (Octavia/Katie Lynn), and Wesley Allen (Ron).
