Emmy-nominated Late Show with David Letterman comedy writer Steve Young will present THE WEIRD & WONDERFUL WORLD OF INDUSTRIAL MUSICALS in-person Thursday, 11/9 at the Cleveland Institute of Art Cinematheque, 11610 Euclid Ave. Tickets are $20; $17 for CIA/CSU I.D. holders, Cinematheque members, and those age 25 & under. We just received some nice coverage from Ideastream here: https://www.ideastream.org/arts-culture/2023-11-03/unspooling-clevelands-in… Thursday, November 9, at 7:30 pm Special Live Event! Steve Young presents THE WEIRD & WONDERFUL WORLD OF INDUSTRIAL MUSICALS USA, 1950s-80s, various directors Emmy-nominated Late Show with David Letterman comedy writer Steve Young, who's also written for The Simpsons and Lorne Michaels, appears in person to share his fascination (obsession?) with industrial musicals that was first explored in Dava Whisenant's 2018 documentary Bathtubs over Broadway. In his live show, Young takes a deeper dive into the rarefied realm of corporate show biz that spawned such off-off Broadway hits as Diesel Dazzle and the American-Standard plumbing-fixture spectacular The Bathrooms Are Coming. Produced to promote the selling of consumer goods, and never intended to be seen by the general public; these musicals were performed at company conventions, product launches, and sales meetings. Young's show features films documenting some of the jaw-dropping singing and dancing extravaganzas commissioned by Purina, General Electric, Kellogg's, Hamm's Beer, and others, and includes bizarre clips you won't see on YouTube or any place else. But his presentation is more than just vintage film; it's an evening of behind-the-scenes stories, wild album covers, affectionately snarky commentary, and even live music! As a curtain-raiser, we will screen two 2021 Dava Whisenant short comedies that Young wrote and starred in, Photo Op and Brief Survey, both featured in the 2022 Cleveland Int'l Film Festival. DCP. Total approx. 105 min. Special admission $20; members, CIA/CSU I.D. holders, age 25 & under $17; no passes.

Berko review: GIRL FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY (KEY BANK BROADWAY SERIES)
by Roy Berko 03 Nov '23

03 Nov '23

*•••••••••••••••••••••••••••* *Capsule judgment: The singing voices are strong, the music well-played, the technical aspects well done. The sound system leaves much to be desired as spoken voices are not well-heard. Don’t expect the usual Broadway glossy set, special effects, fancy costumes, or electronic effects. If you are a Dylan-fanatic, are into his music and/or want to sit back and listen to his songs, while paying a little attention to a slight story, this will be your thing! Me? I’m looking forward to FUNNY GIRL and COMPANY, later in the season offerings.* *To read the entire review go to: *https://royberkinfo.blogspot.com/ *••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••*

Event: Cleveland Public Theatre Seeks Artists at the Edge of Mainstream
by Auditions at CPT 02 Nov '23

02 Nov '23

If you feel like you are outside the mainstream in your discipline of performance or into multidisciplinary and wholly original approaches to performance-we want to hear from you. We are hosting a meeting on 11/13 at 6pm for us to all gather together. We will provide dinner. This will mainly be a time for artists to share what they are working on, what they are dreaming about and what resources they are seeking to make their work thrive. Are you an artist whose work defies categorization? Are you interested in working on pieces that defy the norm? Do you find yourself saying things like "well I am trained in dance but what I do is not exactly..." or are you combining visual and performing arts? Or film and live performance? Are you at the edge of the mainstream or totally beyond that edge and into any of the infinite genre-defying ways work can be created? For years Cleveland Public Theatre has been the hub for such work, from first producing "The Cleveland International Performance Art Festival" to "The Not Quite Theatre Festival" to our ongoing support of artists in various ways who are doing this work-like Candlelight Hypothesis, Central Concern by Pandora Robertson, She's Wearing White by Faye Hargate, Sojourn Theatre's "How to End Poverty..." Please rsvp no later than Saturday, November 4th to Anastasia Urozhaeva aurozhaeva(a)cptonline.org<mailto:aurozhaeva@cptonline.org>. And if you can't come but want to be included in future meetings please let us know as well.

Symbol or Substance? Opens This Friday, Nov. 3
by James McGuire 01 Nov '23

01 Nov '23

Symbol or Substance: A Dialogue on the Eucharist with C.S. Lewis, Billy Graham, and J.R.R. Tolkien A live dramatic reading of Peter Kreeft's imaginative gathering of these three great Christian personalities will be presented at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, November 3 and 4, 2023, St. Hilary Church, 2750 W. Market St., Fairlawn, OH 44333. Tickets are not reserved, but may be purchased for $5 (cash or check made out to “St. Hilary”) in the St. Hilary Church office, 2750 W. Market St., Fairlawn, OH 44333 or on performance nights. NOTE: Seating is limited to 100, so get your tickets early! Inquiries: 330-612-5969 In this imaginary conversation, author Peter Kreeft gives credible voices to C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, and Billy Graham as they discuss one of the most contentious questions in the history of Christianity: Is Jesus symbolically or substantially present in the Eucharist? These three widely respected modern Christian witnesses represent three important Western theological traditions. Graham, an ordained Southern Baptist minister who traversed the world and the airwaves to spread the Good News of salvation represents evangelical Protestantism. Lewis, an Oxford professor, a prolific Christian apologist, and the author of The Chronicles of Narnia among many other works, was a member of the Church of England. Also, an Oxford don and a widely celebrated author of The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Tolkien was a friend of Lewis and a Roman Catholic. While Lewis and Tolkien likely discussed the Eucharist during their long friendship, the dialogue in Symbol or Substance? never actually took place –but it could have, says Kreeft, who faithfully presents the views of these three impressive contemporary men.
