THE ALIENS land at Playhouse Square April 4-14, 2024
by Theatre 09 Apr '24

09 Apr '24

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Cleveland State University Department of Theatre and Dance presents THE ALIENS APRIL 4-14, 2024 Written By Annie Baker Directed by Toby Vera Bercovici The Helen Theatre at Playhouse Square We meet two young men behind a coffee shop who talk music and Bukowski until a lonely high school student arrives and they decide to teach him everything they know. The story is a seemingly quiet study rooted in alienation, and a powerful observation of a lost generation. This is a play about friendship, art, ambition, and a deeply knowing poetic silence. The play is set in Vermont, as are three of Baker's other plays, Body Awareness, Circle Mirror Transformation, and Nocturama. THE ALIENS premiered Off-Broadway in 2010 and won the Obie Award for Best New American Play, with Baker's Circle Mirror Transformation. Directed by Toby Vera Bercovici. “This beautiful, small yet significant play centers young men with huge belief in themselves, huge visions for who they can become, and yet are quite lost. This play is nothing more than the words, the silences, and the three actors who embody them; and yet, that is everything,” says Bercovici. The play features Jackson Coughlin as KJ, Nicholas Taylor Hassan as Jasper, and Quinn Quilty Montgomery as Evan. American Sign Language (ASL) supported performance: Thurs., Apr. 11, 2024 Sign Language Interpreters will be present to sign along with the live performance.

Cleveland Public Theatre presents the U.S.A. premiere of REQUIEM <https://www.cptonline.org/performances/seasons/2023-2024/requiem/> By Hanoch Levin Directed by Raymond Bobgan Featuring Peter Lawson Jones* (*Actor appears courtesy of Actors' Equity Association, the Union of Professional Actors and Stage Managers in the United States.) March 14 - April 6, 2024 "The CPT production, under the adept direction of Raymond Bobgan, the theatre's Executive Artistic Director, is creatively staged." "The cast, headed by Peter Lawson Jones as the Old Man, the fulcrum of the story, is excellent." ―Dr. Roy Berko "Based on three short stories by Anton Chekhov, and under the thoughtful direction of Raymond Bobgan, it [Requiem] creates a rich, consistent tone with many humorous jabs and feints." ―Christine Howey, Scene Written by one of Israel's most beloved playwrights after a terminal diagnosis, Requiem dares to tackle the big questions of "life and death" with poetry, frankness, and a lot of humor. One old man embarks on a series of journeys to ward off death failing to see the life all around him amidst the colorful characters he encounters along the way-an old medic, two drunks, three cherubs, and two prostitutes who dream of moving to Paris. Running time of play is approximately 75 minutes with no intermission.
