Berko review". SENSE AND SENSIBILITY @ Great Lakes Theater
by Roy Berko 20 Feb '23

20 Feb '23

*•••••••••••••••••••••••••••* *Capsule judgment: SENSE AND SENSIBILITY is a delight! The well-directed cast, supported by the purposeful technical aspects of the production, not only makes this a wonderful theatrical purpose, but creates a staging that has to rank with the best shows Great Lakes Theatre has created. This is one show that actually deserves the curtain call that the show is nightly getting. * *Bravo!! * *To read the entire review go to: *https://royberkinfo.blogspot.com/ *To read the capsule judgements of the other Cleveland reviewers go to: * *www.clevelandtheaterreviews.com* <http://www.clevelandtheaterreviews.com/> *••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••*

The Qualities of Movement: Moulding, Floating, Flying, and Radiating, are foundational. Corresponding to earth, water, air, and fire, we embody these forces to find the How of What we’re doing. “Action with qualities is the easiest way to the living feelings.” What can we uncover through Michael Chekhov’s exploratory, improvisational processes to apply to our own performance work? How do we apply them? *TECHNIQUE* *Tuesdays, 6:30-8:30pmApril 25-May 23$160* *Click Here* <https://www.raycaspio.com/mc3/classes/technique> *WHAT WILL WE EXPLORE?* Fundamentals of the Chekhov Technique.

Surgical masks will be available in the space to those who need them. •Proof of COVID vaccination and booster is required at registration. *TELL ME ABOUT MICHAEL CHEKHOV CENTER CLEVELAND!* Michael Chekhov Center Cleveland is committed to the art of the actor through explorations of the psychophysical processes illuminated by Michael Chekhov.

You discover how the magic of your movement, in tandem with your imagination and feeling life, has the ability to enliven the spaces within yourself and the spaces around you. Solo and ensemble explorations in concentration, movement, atmosphere, and gesture increase your flexibility, honesty, joy, and ease as a performing artist.

Laughter on the 23rd Floor Closes this weekend.
by Michelle Dolciato 20 Feb '23

20 Feb '23

Neil Simon's hit comedy - Laughter on the 23rd Floor closes this weekend. Don't miss your chance to see it! Final Performances: February 24, 25 @ 8pm Directed by: Dave Stebbins By Neil Simon Produced by special arrangement with Concord Theatrical on behalf of Samuel French, Inc Laughter on the 23rd Floor follows the hysterical, rollercoaster antics that catapult a not-your-average 1950s writers’ room into the comedy fray, as they frantically attempt to please their larger-than-life boss of a weekly comedy variety show. Locked in an ongoing battle with NBC executives, who fear the show’s humor is too sophisticated for Middle America, the writing and fighting of the team expose the social and political undercurrents of the 1950s—reflecting back the ongoing tensions in today’s America in a show all will enjoy. An autobiographical farce inspired by Neil Simon’s early career as a TV writer alongside the likes of comedy legends Carl Reiner and Mel Brooks. *NOTE: THIS SHOW CONTAINS ADULT LANGUAGE Tickets are just $15 and are available online at www.HudsonPlayers.com or by calling the Hudson Players box office at 330-655-8522. Group, student and senior discounts are available. Get your tickets today! The Hudson Players are an all volunteer award winning, community theater currently in our 78th season.
