THIS WEEKEND ONLY: Seat of the Pants Presents THE THINGS I FORGOT
by Craig Joseph 17 Jan '24

17 Jan '24

Seat of the Pants is excited to invite Northeast Ohio audiences to the Midwest premiere of *The Things I Forgot, *written and performed by Ingrid De Sanctis, running in a limited engagement - Friday and Saturday, January 19th and 20th at 7:30 PM and Sunday, January 21st at 2:30 PM - at the Founders Hall Theatre of Malone University in Canton. Tickets are $25 and can be purchased at thethingsiforgotsotp.eventbrite.com. *And if you can join us on Saturday night, use the discount code BOGO10OFF to buy one ticket and get the second one for $10 off*. In *The Things I Forgot*, a preacher's daughter revisits her faith, her family, and the victims of a sexual scandal, which tore her family apart nearly 40 years before. Inspired by Ingrid’s own Pentecostal roots, this solo show is a theatre experience that inspires and challenges audiences to think about their own journeys through faith and family. Described as “part performance installation, part movement, part storytelling”, *The Things I Forgot* is a play about holding the truth, the weight of the truth, and the sometimes-rocky road to coming to terms with that truth. And how we come to faith, leave faith, and return to faith. Complete with 100 pairs of shoes, abundant bouquets of flowers, and four chairs. What makes this engagement extra special is that Ingrid is still developing the piece, and will solicit feedback after each performance through conversation with our audiences. So we heartily welcome all theatre makers to join us in a dialogue with Ingrid that will help shape and guide her next steps with the piece. Hope to see you there!

Review of Mrs. Doubtfire @ Playhouse Square
by Laura Kennelly 16 Jan '24

16 Jan '24

*Who is Mrs. Doubtfire? Well, she’s a nanny, but she’s no Mary Poppins. For that matter, she’s not even a she. What she is, is entertaining and a bit manic (and thereby hangs the tale, as we said in Olden Days).* *For the rest see:* https://coolcleveland.com/2024/01/theater-review-mrs-doubtfire-playhouse-sq…
