BACH AT LEIPZIG Opens in One Week! Get Your Tickets Now!
by Craig Joseph 16 Mar '24

16 Mar '24

We're one week away from Seat of the Pants' production of Itamar Moses' *BACH AT LEIPZIG, *running March 22nd through April 7th at Franklin Circle Christian Church in the Ohio City neighborhood of Cleveland. A list of showtimes and ticket prices can be found at bachatleipzigsotp.eventbrite.com . It's Leipzig, Germany - 1722. Johann Kuhnau, revered organist of the Thomaskirche, suddenly dies, leaving his post vacant. The town council invites musicians from across the country to audition for the coveted position, among them young Johann Sebastian Bach. In an age where musicians depend on patronage to pursue their craft, the post is a near guarantee of fame and fortune - which is why the 7 candidates are willing to resort to any lengths to secure it. Half *AIRPLANE! *and half* AMADEUS*, *BACH AT LEIPZIG* is a fugue-like farcical web of bribery, blackmail, and betrayal set against the backdrop of questions about humanity, God, and art. Directed by Michael Glavan and produced by Craig Joseph, the production stars Carolyn Demanelis, Scott Esposito, Heidi Harris*, Molly McFadden, Luke Wehner*, and Kadijah Wingo. Sam Landgraf stage manages, with scenic design by Alan Costa, costume design by George McCarty II, lighting design by Ayron Lord, sound design by Maggie Hamilton, props design by Lisa L. Wiley, scenic construction by Christian Sanko, and fight direction by Ryan Zarecki. Use the code *FINAL *when purchasing your tickets by *Friday, March 22nd at 7:30 PM *to receive *$3 off each ticket!*

Set in the late 1970s. This hilarious story of friendship and revenge in the Rolodex era is outrageous, thought-provoking and even a little romantic. Pushed to the boiling point, Violet, Judy, and Doralee form a strong female triumvirate through their mutual dissatisfaction with workplace conditions and especially obnoxious office boss Franklin Hart, Jr. They concoct a plan to get even with the sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot they call their boss. In a hilarious turn of events, Violet, Judy and Doralee live out their wildest fantasy – giving their boss the boot! While Hart remains “otherwise engaged,” the women give their workplace a dream makeover, taking control of the company that had always kept them down. Hey, a girl can scheme, can’t she?
