Berko review: BACH AT LEIPZIG
by Roy Berko 25 Mar '24

25 Mar '24

*•••••••••••••••••••••••••••* *Capsule judgment: Seat of the Pants Productions has a purpose of “selecting plays which raise potent questions - some specific to today and others that speak to human nature across the ages.” BACH AT LEIPZIG fulfills that mission. Though it makes for a long sit, the play will be of interest for those interested in historical biographies, classic music and unusual play scripts. * *To read the entire review go to: *https://royberkinfo.blogspot.com/ *To read the capsule * https://clevelandtheaterreviews.blogspot.com/ *••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••*

by Kim Furganson 25 Mar '24

25 Mar '24

Cleveland Public Theatre presents TEST FLIGHT 2024<https://www.cptonline.org/performances/seasons/2023-2024/test-flight-week-4…> Through March 30, 2024 Test Flight is a multi-week series that showcases new work on its way to full production. It provides both local and national/international artists with the keys to the theatre and the opportunity to co-produce original works-in-progress. The series encourages risk-taking and an entrepreneurial spirit towards creating new work while offering artists a structured support system. The event closes this week Tales of a Fat Man. WEEK 4: March 28 - 30 Tales of a Fat Man<https://www.cptonline.org/performances/seasons/2023-2024/test-flight-week-4…> Written by Tyree J. Franklin Directed by: Roy Tyrone James II As you can guess, the play follows the journey of a larger man's past, present, and future of navigating this world in the body he's had since childhood. It's a sort of coming-of-age retelling of the good, bad, & ugly tendencies of society. There's also a new age Greek style chorus that accompanies and sometimes antagonizes the 'Fat Man' on his journey to Self-love.  EVERY TICKET is “Choose What You Pay<https://www.cptonline.org/box-office/>” starting at $1 and can be purchased at https://www.cptonline.org/or through the CPT Box Office at 216.631.2727 ext. 501. Every Thursday is a Covid-conscious performance where masks are required, every Friday is Free Bev where select post-performance beverages are free, and Saturday’s performance offers a post-show closing reception and a chance to mingle with the Test Flight 2024 participants.
